Personal Trainer Irvine of Jungle Fitness Orange County Personal Training: Motivational Tips to Workout

admin — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 18:52:47 +0000

Hey everyone, Happy Motivational Monday & welcome to the official JUNGLE FITNESS Orange County Personal Trainer Blog! Today, we’re here to discuss on ways to motivate you to workout in the “am” and/or on the weekend.

Even if you love to exercise, it can be difficult to get out of the bed in the morning to workout. However, most experts agree that the best time of day to exercise, in order to ensure that you do so, and also in order to gain the most benefits, is early morning. So, consider the following motivation tips for early morning workouts.

1. Take a class. Many gyms offer a number of classes you can take, some starting as early as 5 am. So if you need to workout early in the morning and you find it difficult to pull yourself out of bed, pay for a class or enroll in one. The obligation to follow through, and the fact that you paid for it, will often be just the motivation you need to get out of bed and to the gym.

2. Find a friend. One of the best tips for getting motivated to get out the door for an early morning workout is to have a friend to work out with. If you are planning to meet them, you are less likely to let them down, which means you are more likely to go and workout. While most people will not let a friend down, if they promise themselves to go workout, they have no problem letting themselves down. So find someone who enjoys the same kind of exercise who is willing to commit to meeting you to workout each morning.

3. Do something fun. Since there are a million ways to get exercise, don’t do something you don’t enjoy. If you hate being in the gym, then don’t hit the gym. Instead find a mountain trail to run, a pool to swim in or a path to bike or hike. If you don’t like feeling like you’re working out, consider playing basketball or participating in some other sport that still requires you to move so you’re getting a workout without exercising, per se. If you need something structured, consider buying P90X or something similar so that you have instruction. Find something you love and do it!

4. Set an alarm. You will never get out the door for an early morning workout if you do not set an alarm to get you up in the morning. However, it is easy to set a snooze button, so try and disable it, or find a way to not push it. For example, set an alarm and put it across the room so that you actually have to get out of bed to turn it off.

5. Pay attention to the benefits of getting an early morning workout. Working out helps you sleep better, it increases energy and decreases your appetite, among other benefits. If you work out in the morning, you will burn more calories all day long. You will find that your energy is better, and you are happier all day long.

1) Reward yourself. Exactly what I said. Whatever you think you deserve.

2) Set up a punishment for missing workouts. You need good self-control for this. Although, if you had good self control, you wouldn’t miss the workout. However, do something to punish yourself, so YOU won’t miss it again.

3) Review your goals everyday and every night. Keeping your goals fresh in your mind will help you stay on track.

4) Realize that the hardest part of the workout is often getting your butt to the gym. Once you get 5 minutes into the workout, you will be over the hump. So tell yourself, “I’ll just go in and do 1 set of the first 2 exercises, then I can go”. Next thing you know, you’ll have done the entire workout.

5) Crank the tunes. Seriously, nothing motivates like music.

6) Get social support. If you have a workout partner, you’ll feel like crap if you let them down. Or become accountable to everyone in the Turbulence Training workout forums…if you don’t post your workouts, they’ll track you down and demand to know why you’ve fallen off track! So online or offline, get everyone on your side!

Perth Personal Trainer Debunks Myths About Women Doing Strength Training

admin — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 10:55:58 +0000

As a Perth boot camp instructor and personal trainer I have been asked by many women about the value of strength training. Very often, many ladies who exercise are worried about becoming larger and heavier from regular strength training. Especially in the area of weight loss, many people do not see how strength training can help in this area. When it comes to weight loss, most people would first think about doing aerobics exercises to burn as much calories as possible to induce weight loss. However, strength training had been a very underrated compliments to cardio training in the success of weight loss, shaping and overall fitness in women. With this article, I shall dispel the most common myths of strength training with women. Strength Training Can Cause Women to Put on Huge Bulky Muscles
This is the most common strength training myth among women. The truth is, women who do strength training will not get bulky muscles as seen in men. This is due to the fact that women have about 15- to 20-fold lower concentration of a muscle-building hormone called testosterone than men do. Without this muscle-building hormone, it is impossible to develop any sort of muscles bulk. Muscle Gained from Strength Training can Convert to Fat when Training Stops
Muscle cannot be converted to fat. Muscle can only shrink due to detraining. Very often, the increased girth sizes in the body are due to increased fat tissues or deposits on the body. This is due to poor diet and lack of exercise in general. In fact, strength training helps increase lean muscle tissue that has a direct influence in the metabolism. With higher metabolism, the body burn more energy in general leading to fat loss. Women Should Avoid Strength Training with High Load
There is no reason for a woman not to train with high load. In fact, the strength training would be deemed as ineffective if insufficient load is imposed on the body. There will no adaptations required in the body to increase more lean muscle tissue, bone mass and connective tissue around the joints. Unfortunately, many women believe that lifting light weights with high volume of repetitions is the way to go for body toning. Women should do a different Strength Training Program than Men
As women are perceived as the weaker gender, it is often suggested that women should stick with weight machines and slow tempo weight lifting to avoid injuries. It is totally untrue as women adapt physiologically to strength training similar to men and no evidence shows that they are more predisposed to injuries just because of gender differences. In fact, women should engaged in similar sort of strength training program if they have similar training goals. The only difference here is that women do not bulk up like the men.
In conclusion, women should never be afraid to train hard with weights because there is no evidence to show any adverse effects of weight training. In truth, there is many benefits for women to do strength training. The benefits range from improved toned, strength to increased metabolism.
