I’ve already written about personal training before, but I’d like to revisit the topic. Since around 2008, I’ve worked with a number of personal trainers and gone through dry spells as well. Like anything else, there are pros and cons to regularly working with a trainer, but in this case the pros heavily outweigh the cons. I think the only downside to working with a trainer is the costs — both financial (though some practices will take medical insurance as long as it is rehabilitative) and of time.
I’m fortunate enough to have had a free training session with a trainer at my gym who wowed me! In thirty-five minutes, she had me burn 380 calories (to know this, a heartrate monitor is an excellent tool) without my getting on a single cardio machine! The explanation? The exercises she had me doing were specially tailored to my needs, rather than just being the generic one-size-fits-all programs that everyone does.
I’ll only be working with her once a week, unfortunately, but with her guidance I expect results to show quickly. My particular program will first factor in what’s called corrective exercise, involves logging what I eat every day, and requires me to get in cardio as much as possible in between the strength training. In addition to my chiropractic strength and balance exercises, I should be just short of bionic by the end of a couple months!
I’d love to ask my trainer, who is apparently also a writer (and a dancer!), to write a guest article for us, so I’ll keep you posted on that.
To our healing,
