BENEFITS OF PERSONAL TRAINING
Personal training helps to enhance fitness for the general, healthy population (as opposed to physical therapy, which remediates impairments due to injury and promotes mobility and functionality). Personal trainers are certified to have a varying degree of knowledge of general fitness, exercise prescription and instruction. A personal trainer can work with you to set goals, provide feedback, and serve as a point of accountability. Trainers often conduct fitness assessments to help you gauge your current physical shape or the progress that you have made.
In general, personal training plans include a certain combination of aerobic exercise, strength training and flexibility training. The exact combination depends on your needs. Aerobic exercise, also known as cardio, is exercise that depends on the aerobic energy-generated process. Examples include medium to long-distance running, swimming, jogging, cycling and walking. The intensity can vary from low to high. Strength training, by contrast, engages the anaerobic energy-generating process. Short distance-running and weight-lifting are outstanding examples of this kind of exercise.
The benefits of personal training are varied. Maintaining an active lifestyle has many health benefits, including lowering the risk of heart disease, muscle deterioration due to age, and bone density loss. It may even lower the risk of certain cancers. Additionally, studies have shown that regular exercise promotes mental health and emotional wellbeing. People who lead an active lifestyle tend to feel more energetic and focused day-to-day. Studies have also suggested that exercise can help with certain sleep disorders. Many people engage a personal trainer because they want to look or feel a certain way, or to increase their performance in a sport, for instance (see Sports Performance Training). Finally, personal training also helps you improve your self-efficacy. In other words, it helps you stay focused on your goals for fitness and other aspects of your life.
