Unlimited Motivation Personal Trainers and Group Fitness
Are you looking for a source of unlimited motivation? Try working out in a group led by a personal trainer. There's nothing better than working with other people to help you build your resolve and push yourself toward the your maximum potential.
Group Versus Individual Fitness
Working in a group is more than just stirring up competitive juices. Although everyone has his or her own personal agenda, sometimes there is competition among the individuals in a group. Group workouts also provide the empathy of the group. You'll often find encouraging words from others, particularly since they know how hard it is to achieve personal goals. Group workouts led by personal trainers also provide the accountability and motivation of the trainer.
You don't have to workout in a group to work with a personal trainer and see great results. Trainers provide individual workout programs that track your progress to keep you accountable, while adding a boost of motivation. You may not realize how much you've achieved because the changes aren't overnight. Improved endurance, strength, flexibility and balance are all tracked by trainers, just as weight and inches are.
Success Is the Ultimate Motivation
If you start a fitness program, you obviously have a motivating reason. Unfortunately for most people, it's a short-lived focus. When you work with a personal trainer, he or she can help fill the gap until you see success, which is a powerful motivator. You'll see success faster with a trainer and it will improve your resolve and drive you forward at each step.
If you want to create your own motivators, start noting how long you last working at top speed and track it. After a few weeks, measure that time again. You'll see substantial improvement.
For those that want to lose weight, clothing size is a motivator. Try on some jeans or other article of clothing that should be slightly snug. Workout for four weeks and try on the same item. You'll probably find it's either loose or you need a smaller size. This can be very motivating for a lot of people.
If you're trying to lose weight, don't weigh every day. Instead, pick a time of day one day a week to weigh. There are some weight fluctuations throughout a day and week that don't indicate actual weight gain, but can shatter your motivation.
