Tips For Choosing A Personal Trainer
The great thing about personal fitness trainers is that their training prepares them to assist others in realizing their personal fitness goals. The first step is to fill out a medical questionnaire with a personal trainer so that he can complete a fitness evaluation before beginning an exercise routine. Besides the establishment of goals, evaluating previous injuries and sporting experiences, and assessing current levels of activity, this questionnaire also serves as a tool for risk assessment. If the client does not pass this initial assessment, it will be necessary to obtain a physician's release prior to beginning a fitness plan.
Next, you will need to perform a series of exercises for the establishment of your current weaknesses and strengths in a fitness assessment. Having done that, your fitness professional will devise a custom workout plan using this knowledge together with what you wish to achieve and the period within which you wish to achieve it. This assessment is usually done along with a survey of your body composition, where details of skin fold and girths are taken, weight, height, age, flexibility and posture are noted, all with an eye toward being able to measure your progress and see how effective the exercise program is for you.
Your diet will be carefully examined, as you will be requested to keep a food diary in detail by the trainer for the length of the training program. Since fitness professionals are very knowledgeable about dietary requirements, yours will let you know whether you are eating properly and will tell you what you should be eating if you are not.
You should be certain that any fitness trainer you employ is both certified and covered by insurance. The ideal method for doing this is asking them to give you the number and expiration date for their fitness association membership, and if it is current they probably are insured and have the standard First Aid Level 2 certification. If you want to verify their credentials then you can contact the fitness association they are registered with.
