It's that old chestnut, isn't it? Motivation. Without it you've had it. That's why so many people fail miserably when they try to get their weight loss routine off the ground or struggle to make it off the sofa to get down the gym. Trying to motivate yourself to do these things is difficult. So why not find someone who will do the motivating for you?
That is what personal trainers do. And they do it very successfully. If you're not sure what a personal trainer is, they are the people you see in the park wearing the hand-pads while that lady throws a few punches at them with her boxing gloves on. And that's one of the advantages of the personal trainer - they come to you, rather than you go to them. So that means you can do your training in your local park, or home, or even at work if there's a discreet space. Basically, hiring a personal trainer takes away all the "fear of the gym" and instead leaves you comfortable in a one-on-one scenario that is far more conducive to following a regular fitness plan successfully.
It may sound a bit strange, but resistance training causes microscopic damage or tears to the muscle cells which react by quickly initiating an instinctive repair mechanism to get the muscles regenerating. This in turn makes the body grow stronger. Thus rest time in between resistance training sessions is just as important as the workout's themselves. Resistance training is beneficial for many health and fitness reasons, especially when it comes to losing weight. That's because muscle tissue is metabolically active, thus the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn which makes losing weight easier - even when you're simply resting. It also makes maintaining a healthy weight much easier too.
Apart from being a great weight loss and cardio workout, boxing training is excellent for agility and mental alertness and gets those all-important endorphin cavorting around the body to create that wonderful feeling of well-being. And with your personal trainer encouraging you every step of the way, it is the perfect motivation you need for getting on the road to greater fitness and shedding that weight you so despise.
But the most important aspect personal trainers bring is motivation. The very knowledge that you are going to have a mentor to drive you on and encourage you to push yourself (as well as show you your limits) is a very powerful motivator in itself. In a word, personal training sessions work just as effectively - if not more so - than go it alone gym-based workouts and is the reason they are becoming ever-more popular.
