Why National Personal Trainer Awareness Day?
Our Sedentary lifestyle has cost us many things including health and fitness. After all the planets align at some auspicious occasion you might finally decide to hit the gym! The new year occasion gets our spirits high and motivates us to resolve and we embark on the road to fitness.
But who can keep you motivated after a hard day of office work, after the novelty of your brand new gym apparel wears off? Who can guide you through strenuous exercise routines, give feedback, and set achievable goals for you? The heroes in gym gear, personal trainers of course!
The concept of personal guidance for health and fitness is relatively new. It gained popularity in the 1900s as the fitness movement was widely acclaimed by celebrities and TV programs. The profession became a viable career opportunity after the introduction of certified courses in the ’90s.
Personal trainers work out a personalized plan to modify your body as well as your lifestyle. They do so by equipping you with all the knowledge regarding the techniques and exercise routines, with constant follow-ups and doses of motivation. They keep track of your progress and by setting achievable goals according to your needs.
Getting professional advice can help you save a lot of pain and time, especially when it comes to sticking to a routine or practicing wrong techniques that lead to injuries. A personal trainer does more than just help you to shed off that extra circumference you gained during the holiday season over-indulgence.
Personal training has been moved onto online platforms in recent years. But many trainers and clients still prefer the old-school, one-on-one experience. As personal trainers of the 21st century, they face high competition from fitness corporates and celebrity trainers. As a result, social media is used effectively to market their expertise and services. In addition to regular exercise routines, clients also look for unconventional methods such as kick-boxing, dance, martial arts, etc to achieve their fitness goals and prefer personal trainers who have these skills.
A personal trainer who is passionate about his/her work and who is motivated can provide you with the best services. While it seems like you are paying, so that you can do more work, in the background your trainer is keeping track of your routine, analyzing your progress, and planning the next regime. After all their career hinges on the actualization of your dreams.
