Will I lose weight with a Personal Trainer?
Answer: Almost certainly YES, but it depends on your goal.
Many people in the UK struggle with their weight. Some of us simply put on a few extra pounds as we get older, or become less active, and others constantly battle with more extreme weight gain.
In 2016, 26% of adults were classified as obese (source: digital.nhs.uk ). More of us own a car than ever before, and as we work longer and longer hours, the chance to exercise becomes limited. If your job involves long periods of sitting, such as in an office, then this only compounds the problem.
We also find ourselves searching for more convenient food options on this limited time schedule, and this can lead to poor nutritional choices such as ready meals that are high in salt and lack fresh ingredients such as vitamin rich vegetables.
To address our unwanted weight issues attending a gym is a sensible choice, but that can present challenges of its own. Not everyone who attends a gym is a natural athlete and after a long day at work some of us may feel like we are simply ‘clocking’ in and out of sessions. This does nothing for motivation and before long the gym bag is relegated to the back of the wardrobe. This is why an accountability partner such as a qualified Personal Trainer makes a great deal of sense.
How will I lose weight with a Personal Trainer?
If you are carrying unwanted weight, the chances are that you will lose it, but let’s focus on what this means. Many of us carry additional water in our bodies due to inflammation from food that our body cannot process very well – such as junk food and alcohol. An excess of calories in the body also leads to the storage of fat, so the chances are that as you take positive steps with your nutrition and expend more energy through exercise this excess fluid and fat will start to drop off.
As you eat healthier and more balanced meals, and follow your PT’s advice, your fitness levels will improve and before long, lean muscle mass will be added to your frame. That’s not to say that you will look like The Rock of course, but small increases of muscle mass will add good positive weight to your body composition. So, it’s not all about simply losing weight. There are many myths around fitness and fat loss that qualified Personal Trainers can help dispel. They have worked with beginners, people with injuries, and elite level athletes, so they can tailor the right plan to you.
