Achieving Your Goals...
Everyone
exercises for different reasons. Whether they are looking to lose weight,
tone up, or increase muscle mass, they all have different training needs.
So in order to achieve your specific needs, it is highly important that
your training is as specific and individual as you are. To ensure all
programmes are specific there are a few simple steps that must be followed.
These steps are:
1.
Initial Assessment, Testing and Goal Setting– in this session each client is given
a full health check, which will include things such as; height, weight,
body fat percentages, blood pressure and heart rate, muscle mass, lung
function, and postural assessments. These specific tests enable me
to help you to devise your goals and mould them around the SMART (Specific,
Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time Related) goal setting strategy.
This therefore allows for a long term goal to be set, along with small
shorter term targets, which can all be checked off as a measurement
of your progress.
2.
Setting up of Training Program – once your goals have
been set, it is important for you to have your individual training
program designed for you. This is designed around how often
you are able to exercise, how long each training session can
last for and also the amount of equipment you have available
to you (Personal Training Sessions are devised to work alongside
the training program).
3. Personal Training Sessions – Each individual 1on1 training session
will comprise of a training session that will work towards the same goals
as your training program, however this session will be far more advanced
and will consist of totally different exercises to the training program,
therefore keeping you fully motivated, and also more able to achieve
your goals than if you were left to your own devices
4. Constant Evaluation and Re-testing – In order for you to determine
whether you are on course to achieve your goals and also to set further
goals and ensure that the training is still as individual as you are.
So if you change your goals your training will also change with you.
