- How many times have you bought fitness equipment that only got used for a few weeks and now lives in the attic or under the stairs?
- How many times have you paid for gym membership and stopped going after 2 months (or less) and were still tied into membership contracts long after you stopped going?
- How many times have you said to yourself “I’m going to get fit or lose weight etc” only to be saying the same thing a few weeks later?
We all know the benefits of regular exercise and we all know how to exercise, so why do we find it so hard to exercise?
Whatever motivates us to start an exercise program, weight loss, dropping a dress size, personal appearance or getting fit for a charity event etc, the sad facts are that about 95% of people who undertake an exercise program will quit!
Why? The most common reasons are:
- Lack of results.
- Lack of motivation.
- Lack of support.
Change doesn’t happen overnight and old habits are hard to break. It is estimated that it takes about 30 days to break and old habit and reinforce a new one… that is 30 days without any habitual relapses.
Our lives are the sum of all the choices that we make, but sometimes just choosing to change is not enough and we need help to make the change. This is where a personal trainer can really benefit you and help you achieve your goals. By creating a goal orientated training plan, motivating you beyond the point where you would normally quit, giving you the support to succeed and educating you along the way so that you are better equipped to embrace the new you without any relapses.
If you are one of the 5% that will finish what you start you may still benefit from a personal trainer, as they will be able to taylor specific training plans to your goals and enable you to strive for bigger goals.
