If you’ve decided to work with a trainer, you then need to determine how often you will work with your coach. Consider three concerns as you decide how often to meet with your trainer: your goals, specific health issues, and personality.
Now that you have established your motivation for exercising, it’s time to clarify a specific goal. Once you can visualize where you want to be, you have to start planning how to get there!
We all know that once we set our sights on reaching something, we have to set specific, reasonable goals! Exercise is no different. The first thing we need to do to stay on track exercising regularly is to set goals. To set relevant goals, start with answering a few questions. What is motivating you to exercise? Why did you decide to dedicate time, energy, and a lot of effort into working so hard? What state of health and fitness would you like to reach in a few months, six months, a year? Write down the answers to these questions.
We’re all familiar with wanting to start a new beginning on the right foot. Whether it’s New Year’s, a birthday, rehab after knee surgery, or just a newly found desire to use fitness as our best medicine, we pledge to make exercise and health an important part of our lives. Get active through consistent gym attendance or daily walks and easy jogs in the outdoors. Work with a physical therapist and qualified fitness professional to recover and strengthen weak muscles from an old injury. Our first few attempts at fulfilling these tasks are successful, but we often and soon lose our commitment to these new priorities.
