Why You Need a Personal Trainer

The following are the top 10 reasons I believe personal trainers are necessary for your fitness success.  I think you will agree with me.
1.    Motivation
Certified personal trainers can provide structure and accountability, and help you develop a lifestyle that encourages health and motivation.
2.    Individualized program
If you have any chronic health conditions, injuries or training goals (running a marathon, for example) a trainer will work with you and your health care provider to plan a safe, efficient program that considers these needs and enable you to reach your health goals.
3.    Efficiency
Personal Trainers help you focus on results and stop wasting your time doing inefficient workouts. A personal trainer has a plan and will help you get maximum results in minimum time.
4.    Improve technical skills
A personal trainer will help you improve your skill by showing you new training techniques and incorporate skills into your program so you improve your strength, endurance, agility and mental focus
5.    You are new to exercise
A personal trainer is the ultimate fitness coach that will introduce you to a very simple, effective routine and build efficiently.  Soon, you have the confidence and knowledge to decide what is right for you.
6.    Break through plateaus
If you are stuck in the same routine and want to break out of a rut, a personal trainer is the perfect solution. A trainer will jump start, not only your motivation, but your routine as well.
7.    Learn how to go it alone
If you ultimately want to learn all the facets of designing your own routines so you don't need to use a personal trainer, going for a few months may be all you need. All good personal trainers will teach you the basics of building and modifying a fitness program to achieve maximum results.
8.    Workout Safely
A personal trainer watches your form, monitors your vitals and can provide objective feedback about your limits and strengths.
9.    Workout at home
Many personal trainers make house calls. a personal trainer can bring fitness into your living room.
10. Lose Weight
a trainer can keep you on track and help you build muscle which burns more calories.
