Why Need a Personal Trainer?
Who is Training For?
A trainer gives you the right coaching & instructions to execute exercises properly and efficiently. Often times, people do not have the motivation or correct form when they work out, thus leading to wasted effort & risk of injury. Personal training is for anyone who wants to become better at performing in a physical environment…it can be for people looking to get into shape, staying in shape, or looking to take it the next level.
What To Do: Cardio Or Weight Training?
You can do both. Cardio helps with endurance and burning fat on the spot as you exercise, and weight lifting helps build muscles, improve your bones, & increase your metabolism so that you can actually burn more fat throughout the day.
It really doesn’t matter which one you do first. If you want to have a workout that blends them, start with the one that’s more important to you, because after you are done with the first one you will most likely be tired for the second.
For Weight Training, How Do I Manage Repetitions?
Based on my experience:
- 1-5 reps with heavy weights primarily develop strength, with more impact on muscle size and none on endurance.
- 6-12 reps with heavy to somewhat heavy weights develop a balance of strength, muscle size and endurance.
- 13-20 reps somewhat heavy to somewhat light weights develop endurance, with some increases to muscle size and limited impact on strength.
- 20+ reps with light weights are considered to be focused on aerobic exercise. They do still use the anaerobic system, but usually at a rate through which it can consistently remove the lactic acid generated from it
How Long Should I Rest Between Sets?
The basic rule is: the heavier the weight, the longer the break. I recommend:
- Heavy Weight/Low Reps = Longer Rest (3-5+ minutes)
- Light Weight/High Reps = Shorter Rest (0.5-3 minutes)
Rest periods however can differ for people depending on the shape they are and also their age. Just as putting on muscle of losing fat varies for each person, so does recovery time between sets.
How Many Times a Week Should I Work Out?
I recommend you work out as frequently as your social, family, and professional life will allow. Then if necessary, scale back to get the rest and recovery time your body needs.
If you have few commitments, you might be able to workout 6-7 times per week. However, if that’s too much for your body, scale back to perhaps 4 times per week and 5 times per week, switching your schedule every other week.
If you have a demanding career, kids, and a healthy marriage, then working out 2-3 times per week might be the most you can put on your plate.
How Should I Eat to Lose Weight?
The most helpful solution is to track your calorie intake and cut back if you can (this is usually done by eating smaller portions than you’re used to).
If you find it cumbersome to count calories, eat as little white flour and added sugar and as many fiber-rich vegetables as possible. You’ll likely end up cutting calories without thinking about it.
About Me
I was born and raised in New Orleans and moved to Houston when Hurricane Katrina hit our beautiful city. Ever since then, I made Houston my home and worked hard at my craft to be master at what I do.I enjoy keeping my body fit and I enjoy helping others so personal training is the perfect career for me where I can share my knowledge with other folks and change them for the better.
To become a trainer, I built my knowledge by studying and playing many sports I earned my credibility in fitness training by certification thru NASM. I also continued my education by obtaining certifications in Nutrition,Performance Exercise Systems And Corrective Exercises Systems just to name a few. All the while in college to become a PTA.
