Assess Your Fitness Needs, Goals

My job as a fitness trainer is to provide you with the knowledge and skills you need in order to achieve your fitness goals. One of the many duties of fitness instructors is to address personal issues and to customize your workout routine in order to achieve the desired benefits.

I get questions all the time pertaining to health issues. This is a question that I received from one of my many subscribers that I thought might hit home with many of you.

Question: I am a 40-year-old male that would like to make the necessary changes to my physical health in order to get started on the right foot in 2007. I have a few extra pounds to lose, 25-35, and would like your advice on what I should do in order to stick to my New Year?s resolution for losing weight? ? Keith, Flower Mound

Dear Keith,

Let me ask you, ?How would you define being healthy??

Results are different depending on who you ask. Being healthy is defined in many ways by all kinds of people.

Teenagers respond by saying health is related to strength and the ability to excel in sports.

A 20-year old is usually more worried about looks, having a perfect body, and developing a chiseled body builder physique.

Someone in their 30?s is starting to realize that what once came of quickly, is now hanging around for a longer period of time. Those extra pounds just don?t melt right off anymore.

When you get into the 40?s or 50?s, not only are trying to get rid of those extra pounds that are still sticking around, but you?ve got those extra aches and pains that need special attention to go along with it.

By 60 your main concern is that your body parts function properly, which includes your heart and muscular strength in order to stay healthy and independent.

The requirements for being healthy are different at certain times in your life. It?s best you take a look at where you are in your life and make the necessary adjustments to the areas that need improving.

Pertaining to your specific problem, my advice to you would be to take off those extra pounds that you want to get rid of.

It's important to be able to achieve your fitness goals. One of the many duties of fitness instructors include helping you set up goals that are realistic and obtainable so that you can avoid frustration and failure. We give you the support you need in order to keep you focused and motivated.

Living a healthy life is not a means to an end, but a lifelong commitment. When you work out with a personal trainer, their main goal is to help you achieve and maintain your desired results!

There is really no special secret to weight loss. The proper combination of diet and exercise is the healthiest way to beat the battle of the bulge an start off on the right foot for the New Year.
