A good start is to trust the knowledge and experience of those who have been helping people with their fitness for many years. A personal trainers knowledge is gained from real life case studies of not just celebrities and the rich but normal people balancing work, social life and family time. In their time a good experienced personal trainer has seen and heard it all. In the main good fitness advice is based on some long standing principles and these still apply today. After all, the human body hasn't evolved much over the last 30 years!
The basic principles of getting fit are:
Frequency - How often you exercise -
For Fitness this is 3-5 times per week.
Intensity - How hard do you work out -
You should aim for 50 - 85% of your maximum heart rate
Time - How long you work out for -
40 - 60 mins each session.
Type - What form of exercise you take -
A mixture of Cardiovascular, Resistance and Stretching
We think one of the most important factors in getting fit is your motivation. What is your trigger? If you have a goal in mind this will help make sure that once you have gained the knowledge you will find the time and dedicate yourself to gettig fit. All the fitness advice in the world cannot help you if you are not
motivated and you do not act.
No fitness advice would be complete if we didn't suggest you started slowly and got a check up from your doctor before starting an exercise programme. This could alert you to any issues that may change the advice you need. There are lots of benefits to exercise but you will need to know more specific information if you have any health concerns. You can also ask the advice of a professional Personal Trainer UK.
