It makes a lot of sense, especially for people with busy lifestyles, to invest in apersonal trainer.
It helps to delegate that work to someone who knows exactly what they’re doing.
No need to think just do!
With a good trainer, the right prompts at the right time can make or break your workout.
And in most cases, a personal trainer will help you meet your fitness goals.
Burn off that food you ate!
Food should not be “earned” or serve as a reward for getting a workout in.
This mindset has also been linked toeating disorders.
If you need help with an eating disorder, or know someone who is, help is available.
Instead of being a means of motivation, fat shaming is often counterintuitive.
Our culture has internalized a stigma toward bigger bodies.
While weight loss may be a goal for some, it is noteveryone’sgoal.
Some are focused on strength and overall health.
It’s a go-to saying in the fitness space.
When taken literally, though, it can be harmful.
We’re not saying that working out should feel like a spa visit.
You should still feel some mild discomfort during exercise, especially if you’re doing a challenging workout.
Carly Ryan, an exercise physiologist, spoke withABC Newsabout the distinction between discomfort and pain.
“Making you push through pain could be seriously threatening to your body.”
Like any good relationship, the needs of the client need to be communicated with their trainer.
Fitness isn’t about going hard on your body and injuring it in the process.
Get bikini ready
The verdict is in:Everybody is a bikini body.
At the end of the day, language matters.
In 2021, fitness trainer and influencer Kayla Itsines recognized this need for change.
BBG was launched back in 2014 and has gained a massive following since.
While the program itself remains unchanged, Itsines asserts that the rebrand was necessary.
Unless you puke, faint, or die keep going!
There’s nothing to glorify in overexertion.
Any trainer who tells you “Unless you puke, faint, or die keep going!”
(or anything similar) in the middle of a really difficult workout is wholly mistaken.
Fainting and dying are obviously not the outcomes anyone would want as a result of a workout.
To build muscle, you must increase the calories you consume and accompany that with heavy weight lifting.
But more importantly, it also aids in both physical and mental health.
The best time to work out is…
The best time to work out is the time that fits your schedule.
A case can be made for exercising at any time of day.
Morning workouts have been proven to encourage more movement outside of exercise than on a completely sedentary day.
Other pluses include improved metabolism and better quality sleep, according toHealthline.
It’s subjective, and all that really matters is thatyou show up.
Instead of aiming to get skinny, many are aiming to get strong.
It is difficult, especially for women, to have society continually dictate what our bodies should look like.
Claiming that being strong has replaced being skinny is another universally unattainable standard since everyone’s bodies are different.
