Resistance Training? What's that, you may be asking. Well to get back to basics resistance training is what they used to call Weight Training; they changed the name in an effort to woo more women into this area of fitness training - and it seems to be paying off. After all, weight training usually conjures up images of big sweaty Bulgarian men straining every sinew to lift fifty times their normal body weight in a Herculean show of strength; and that's not a particularly appealing sight.
But you can forget all about walloping a punch bag in a sweaty gym or slabs of meat Rocky-style in a butcher's ice room. No these workouts are all relatively low key and involve simply your one-on-one personal trainer and you. In fact it is literally one-way one-on-one because they wear the pads and you don the gloves. And that is all you are aiming at, the pads on the trainer's hands. It is the only contact; you're not actually striking the personal trainer anywhere else on his/her body.
The thought of having to exercise with lots of other people around and equipment you have absolutely no idea how to use can be scary and is the main reason people shy away from going to the gym. Hiring a personal trainer to come to your home is the perfect way to overcome this. That immediately saves you a heap of cash each year as you have no gym membership fees only the payment to the trainer. They also bring all the equipment needed and you will be taught how to use it with the guidance of your fully qualified trainer. You might already own some pieces of fitness equipment which makes things easier, but it doesn't matter if you don't as personal trainers have a wide range of mobile equipment that they will bring with them, to make your workouts fun, variable and challenging, including fit balls, boxing mitts and pads, dynabands, medicine balls, hand weights, skip ropes and much more.
Increased muscle strength also helps you get a better posture and can assist in delaying the onset of osteoporosis. For those who play sport, resistance training is ideal for improving muscle power which is obviously important for footballers or hockey players, golfers and volleyballers. And of course, weight training has always been a key method for those who simply want to look fantastic and have the famous 6-Pack and toned muscles and in essence achieve the "perfect body".
After all, its motivation everyone needs to succeed in any endeavor in life and getting fit is no exception. Finding that motivation on your own can be so hard. But that that is what personal trainers do. 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. And they do it very successfully.
