When you need something done and you don’t know how to do it yourself, what do you do? You might Google it or go to e-How to find a solution, but what if that left you even more confused; then what? If you had a problem with your car you would probably need to go to a mechanic. If you had a pain and, even after searching the internet for the diagnosis, were not sure what was wrong, you would hopefully go to the doctor. When you want a great haircut and color do you trust yourself to do it at home? Most likely not; you would go to the beautician. So why should fitness be any different?
There are infinite websites and You-tube videos all telling you how to do exercises and what workout to do today. However, are you sure that these exercise suggestions are right for you? Do you ever wonder if you are doing things right even after watching the videos? Are you overwhelmed with all the suggestions and variations of the same exercise? Who is right? That is why you should go to a professional fitness trainer, just as you would a doctor, lawyer, mechanic or beautician.
At what point do you decide to seek professional help? Chances are it is when you decide you just can’t do it yourself, or when you want a certain outcome. You might be able to do some repairs on your car, but would you attempt a major overhaul? Amazingly cars and bodies are very similar. There are many things you can do on your own as far as exercise. You can do cardio or other simple exercises, buy this is like adding windshield washer fluid to your car. What about that “big repair”? When your exercise program from the internet or magazine isn’t really working for you then it is time to call a professional. Just as with your car, your best results are going to be when you go to someone who knows how to diagnose what is wrong and properly apply the components to fix it. An internet site or fitness magazine just can’t diagnose what you personally need in an exercise program and they can’t give you the proper fix.
With a professional you expect to get expertise and results but you expect a bill. Professionals can be expensive, but it is worth it because they are providing you a service you can’t do yourself. Think about the last time you used professional services, what did you pay? You would expect to pay at least $30 on a co-pay for a doctor’s visit. When the mechanic hands you the bill you expect to see $45 or more per hour for labor. What did it cost the last time you went to the beautician for a cut and color? How much is your health worth to get professional exercise advice? If you don’t have your health then there isn’t much left to life. Doing the wrong exercises or doing them improperly can, in the best case scenario, be ineffective for reaching your goals, and in the worst case, could injure you. In either case, a few sessions with a professional trainer could help diagnose the problems and make the needed corrections.
