A personal trainer should be, at the least, experienced, insured and

healthy nutrition

a reason to show up at the gym each week
accountability

 The
Top 7 Reasons to Exercise
In South Florida, it's bathing suit
season year round. How do you look in your bathing suit?
Whether you can't wait to bare it all on the beach, or if you're still
working toward a weight loss goal, exercise is the key to looking and
feeling great.
But why else should you exercise? Here are the top 7 reasons to
exercise:
Reason #1: To Melt Fat Away
The most coveted side effect of
exercise is, of course, fat burn. The
combination of a challenging exercise routine and a balanced meal plan
is the best known way to lose fat. Here's what losing fat feels like:
Your pants become loose
People around you begin to say
that you look great
A glance at yourself in the
mirror makes you smile
Your energy levels soar
You feel amazing
Reason #2: To Alleviate Pain
Regular exercise is a great way to alleviate chronic muscle and joint
pain. Persistent back pain can be lessened by strengthening your core,
and you’ll protect yourself against injury. It amazes people when the
chronic pain that they’ve lived with for years begins to fade after
starting a regular exercise program.
Reason #3: To Increase Lean Tissue
More muscle is good for many reasons. You see, muscle requires many more
calories each day than fatty tissue. In fact, one pound of muscle burns
30-50 calories each day at rest - compared to a measly 9 calories per
pound of fat.
When you exercise your body composition will change to contain more lean
tissue, thus resulting in extra calories burned while you sleep. What
could be better than that?
Reason #4: To Stay Young
Tim D. Spector, a professor of genetic epidemiology at King's College in
London, led a study on the effects of exercise on aging. The results
were astounding. They found that exercise appears to slow the shriveling
of the protective tips on bundles of genes inside cells (called
telomeres), which means a slowing of the aging process.
"These data suggest that the act of exercising may actually protect the
body against the aging process," said Spector.
Here's the study in a nutshell:
Telomeres cap the ends of
chromosomes and every time a cell divides, the telomeres get
shorter.
Once a telomere gets too short,
that cell can no longer divide.
Aging occurs as more and more
cells reach the end of their telomeres and die. This results in
weakened muscles, skin wrinkles, loss of eyesight and hearing,
organ failure and slowed metal functioning.
The study analyzed the
telomeres from the white bloods cells of twins over a 10-year
period. Telomere length was used as a marker for the rate of
biological aging.
It was found that the length of
telomeres was directly related to that twin's activity level.
"There was a gradient," Spector said. "As the amount of exercise
increased, the telomere length increased."
People who did 100 minutes of
weekly exercise had telomeres that looked like those from
someone about 5-6 years younger than those who did 16 minutes of
exercise each week.
People who did 3 hours of
vigorous exercise each week had telomeres that looked like those
from someone about 9 years younger.
Reason #5: To Prevent or Control Type 2
Diabetes
Regular exercise helps to stabilize blood sugar levels. This is
something that people with type 2 diabetes, or at risk for type 2
diabetes, gain substantial benefits from.
Exercise improves the body's use of
insulin, and the related weight loss improves insulin sensitivity. Of
course patients with type 2 diabetes need to get guidelines from their
doctor before starting an exercise program.
Reason #6: To Lower Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Levels
Exercise has shown to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels for
these two reasons:
Weak Heart Muscles
pump little blood with lots of effort. By exercising you
strengthen your heart muscles and train them to pump more blood
with less effort. The stronger your heart is the less pressure
will be exerted on your arteries.
Exercise Increases HDL
levels in some people - this means a decrease in your
risk for heart disease. Other heart disease risk factors such as
weight, diabetes and high blood pressure all show improvement
with regular exercise.
Reason #7: To Feel Great
The first thing that clients tell me after starting an
exercise program is how much better
they feel.
Most didn't even realize how bad they felt. It is easy to get used to
feeling sluggish, achy and unmotivated.
Exercise boosts your energy levels and makes you feel amazing.
The quickest, easiest way to guarantee that you'll meet your
fitness and weight loss goals is to
work one-on-one with a qualified fitness professional. You'll be held
accountable with your workouts and you'll be instructed properly and
shown techniques and strategies that will expedite your results.

guesswork out of fitness and to set your results on fire.

Your Reason
Your number one reason for exercise is
unique to you. Maybe you want to fit into a smaller pant size or lower
your cholesterol. Or maybe you just love how a good workout makes you
feel.
Whatever your reason is, remind yourself of it often. Write it down and
place it where you will see it everyday. It may be just the motivation
that you needed.
