Buy a health magazine, and do the workout that is on the front cover! This unfortunately isn’t going to cut it, we live in a world where we buy with our eyes. That fitness model on the front cover didn’t get in that shape by doing a workout from the centre pages of a fitness magazine. They’ve committed their time and tried out many different training techniques to get the body they have.
The best training plan to follow is one that fits YOU! But how do we go about it, you ask?
Firstly, you must ask yourself; how much time can you commit to exercise, over how many days and for how long for?
You could be in a position whereby you have ample of time on your hands and you can commit to exercising daily. Or you may be rushed off your feet and have three hours a week spare.
No two people are the same, so we have to look at what we can do and where we can do it. You may have to exercise at home or on the way to work. You may not be able to fit much exercise at all (if that is the case, you definitely want to increase your daily non exercise related activity), so you need to find a plan that suits your needs.
If you’re a member of a gym, you may have access to help from the fitness staff, or you may have a personal trainer tohand that can guide you. If you do not have access to these, it is a case of getting up, and moving that body of yours to find out what works. But here is a bit of free advice, progressive overload. Gradually increase the intensity, whether that be load, distance, speed or reps. Challenge the body and remain consistent.
As a personal trainer I often baffle on about providing training plans to suit my clients needs, and this is one of them. I build a training plan to fit my client’s time, surroundings and ability, not something that looks good on paper.
Just don’t go into the gym, doing a bit of this and a bit of that. You’ll see some results to start off with but then you’ll slow down and struggle to get out of your ‘routine’
