Exercise Sucks
Roadblock It’s too easy to blow off exercise.
Success Strategy Team up with a personal trainer.
How many times do you wake up on Monday morning and say, “I’ll get to the gym tonight, right after work.” But life gets in the way, doesn’t it?
That’s where a personal trainer comes in. You get motivation, inspiration, and accountability. You’ve got an appointment to meet your trainer at 6 p.m., for example.
And from the moment you walk in the door, all of your hassles and problems stay at the door, and you enter your sanctuary and focus on yourself. Your personal trainer becomes an outlet for your stress – a coach, and a friend instead of another item on the “to do” list.
The Science Behind The Strategy University of Minnesota researchers found that, among a group of 193 overweight men and women, those assigned to a personal trainer worked out twice as often as those going it alone.
Your trainer can also help you lose more weight by encouraging you to work out at a higher intensity – safely, so you don’t pull muscles, injure joints, or burn yourself out.
From the no-surprise department: Higher-intensity exercise burns as much as 75 percent more calories than low-intensity workouts. [via]
