Being in the industry for about 11 years now, I always find it outstanding and highly hypocritical when people tell me that they have no time for training or it is too expensive to afford a trainer. However, when the newest game console or the newest smart phone comes out they are more than willing to camp out for days and spend $1,000 for a item that they can't afford when they are on a "fixed income".
Having the latest technology is great, but how does it help with your health? The older phones do the same things as the older smart phones. The only difference is the speed and the ridiculous cost. All a game console will do is keep you inactive. The cost of an iPhone can at least get you about 24 sessions of personal training depending on where you go. If you are willing to camp out for a phone, then you can make time to train and work on your health. With those sessions you can lose 24 - 36 lbs. in weight (2 - 3 lbs. a week), along with following a proper nutrition plan and cardiovascular training.
Now, results depends on how much you listen and follow the program and how much your trainer wants you to get there. I always try to get updates from my clients weekly or bi-weekly to keep them on track. A client of mine recently found out how bad a cheat weekend was. She hung out with a childhood friend, had decadent food, drank mimosas and even though she did yoga (which only burns 130 calories per hour which equals a mismosa), she gained 6 lbs. That whole week that she trained with me (2 days a week) and did her other fitness activities were ruined with that one weekend.
For general health, weight-loss and toning up the average person only needs at least 2 - 3 days of weight training and cardio. 80% is what you eat so you HAVE TO BE MINDFUL OF WHAT YOU EAT! You can also eat too much healthy food WHICH WILL KEEP YOU FROM LOSING WEIGHT. You have to make a deficit by eating only small serving sizes and physical fitness activities. If you know you can not do this by yourself then, get help with a great local trainer or contact me.
