Training with a personal trainer and at a gym
You don’t need state-of-the-art equipment or a gym with a R$500 monthly membership to reach your goals. You need the basics! What are the basics? A workout with free weights and barbells, good guidance on how to perform your exercises, and most importantly…
No crazy inventions
Social media posts a series of crazy exercises every day—I’d even call them circus acts… side leg presses, cable “kicks,” squats using the hip abductor and adductor machines… etc. They make a big impression on followers, mainly because the people doing them have… let’s say, attractive bodies. But I GUARANTEE you, they didn’t get that physique by squatting on the adductor machine… yes, folks: it’s called marketing… These are ridiculous and sometimes dangerous exercises. Don’t follow fads.
Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it, and right is right, even if no one is doing it.
And for those of you who stick to the basics and effective exercises, here are a few tips: always check the condition of any equipment you’re going to use.
Pay attention to everything
Pay attention to everything: the condition of the cables, how securely the machines are fastened, and the state of the floor.
🎯Before using the leg press or Smith machine, check and use the safety stops!
🎯Even your footwear… avoid very unstable shoes, for example, when doing a barbell squat…
That’s it.
Is it worth training with a personal trainer?
One of the great benefits of hiring a personal trainer is that you can monitor your exercises. With online professionals, you can enjoy this benefit anytime, anywhere, since you can follow your planned workout without having to schedule a session.
Through the app, website, or WhatsApp, you can access a specialist who is available to help you reach your goals.
Just fill in some basic information, such as your training goals and personal measurements, and the specialist will provide a personalized training plan and tips on how to follow it.
A good option is an online coaching service.
Online personal trainer coaching works in much the same way as in-person coaching. You fill out a form with various necessary details, such as your training history, daily habits, lifestyle, any physical limitations, and other personal information, including your weekly availability, training frequency and location, age, sex, height, weight, and body fat percentage.
