Personal Training
Personalised Exercise Program
No
two people will have exactly the same exercise requirements even if
they share a common goal. Your personal trainer will design an exercise
program based on the agreed goals, but also taking into consideration
many other factors such as body shape, available time, budget and more.
Health Screen
Before undertaking personal
training, your trainer should insist on at least a basic health screen. A
series of tests will be carried out to establish a base line for your
basic health and identify risk factor for diseases that may lead to
premature death due, perhaps due to inactivity, such as coronary heart
disease, hypertension, diabetes type 2, obesity and osteoperosis. It is
also important to identify injuries so that these may be taken into
account when designing your personalised program.
Fitness Evaluation
This is a series of
tests - including cardiovascular, flexibility, muscle strength and
endurance - to see what kind of shape you are in. Your trainer should
ask about your health conditions, medications and exercise experience.
Again, these are all factor that need to be considered when designing
your personalised program.
Supervised Exercise
You are given
one-on-one attention to make sure you are using proper form and
technique and that you get the most from your workout without getting
injured. The benefits of your program are explained.
