Image via WikipediaI recently read an article that offered inexpensive alternatives to hiring a personal trainer. The article mentioned places where you can get "how to" fitness information online. While, you can find a lot good fitness information and excellent exercise routines on the web, you will also find some information that's not worth following. Therefore, you need to have enough knowledge about health and fitness to distinguish the good information from the bad. So, if you are new to exercise and thinking of beginning a fitness program, I suggest you hire a good nationally certified personal trainer. A personal trainer can assess your physical characteristics and lifestyle and custom design a program just for you.
I also think you should at least have a trainer custom design a program for you even if are going to workout on your own. They can teach you the proper form and technique to use for each exercise, so when you are working out you can be confident you are doing the routine properly. I can't count the number of times I've seen people following some exercise routine they've downloaded and doing most of the exercises incorrectly and consequently injure themselves.
In addition, a personal trainer can also educate you about health and fitness, so when you do search for new exercise routines on the web you can distinguish the good ones from the not so good. This alone is a good reason to invest in hiring a personal trainer.
I'm an ACE certified personal trainer and National Masters Over 60 Powerlifting Champion with over 25 years of experience in the health and fitness industry. I've seen a lot of fads come and go, but three things remain constant in getting healthy and staying fit. A positive mental attitude, a healthy balanced diet, and a fitness program built on proper strength training and cardiovascular exercise. Practice these three things daily and you will discover that they lead to "The Fountain of Youth."
