Personal Training
Advantages Personal Training
PT is appropriate for people of all ages, sexes and for those having different goals, varying fitness levels & differing health limitations.
While any and all individuals can opt for PT, members with any of the following health conditions or special requirements will find PT of particular value to them.
Here's how:
Back
Those with a back problem can benefit from a PT programme in 2 ways. By stretching & relaxing the muscles that go into spasm surrounding the affected area (which adds to the already present pain & discomfort) and by strengthening the surrounding muscles to keep the whole spinal column strong. More often than not, the problem can be reversed.
Knee
The muscles surrounding the knee joint can be developed and kept strong through PT while correcting postural deviations.
Pregnancy
Probably at no other point in woman's life is fitness as important as it is during pregnancy. Women can maintain & even improve their cardiovascular, respiratory & aerobic capacities during pregnancy. However, due to the natural & constant changes in the metabolic, respiratory, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal & other systems due to pregnancy, many modifications need to be made to the workout frequently. Your trainer will discuss this with you in great detail.
Diabetes
There are 2 types of diabetes: Insulin-dependent & non-insulin-dependent. Non-insulin- dependent is the most common form, affecting 90% of all diabetics. It typically occurs in adults that are overweight. Treatment for non-insulin dependents usually includes diet modification, medication & exercise therapy. As 80% of NIDD individuals are obese, or have a history of obesity, NIDD is often reversible with permanent weight loss.
Asthma, emphysema and bronchitis
As cardiovascular efficiency & lung capacity is enhanced & improved through exercise, PT can play an important role in the reversal of these conditions.
Arthritis
Through PT one can strengthen the affected joints & muscle groups surrounding the same & improve upon flexibility.
Osteoporosis
Exercise, and weight bearing activities in particular, increase bone density.
Knee
The muscles surrounding the knee joint can be developed and kept strong through PT while correcting postural deviations.
Postural deviations
Rounded, droopy shoulders or a forward pelvic tilt are a result of muscle imbalances & poor posture. Both of them can be corrected through PT.
High blood pressure
which is one of the main factors of CVD can be reduced through PT.
Those training for competition or a particular sport will find PT of great value.
It is a widely known & well-documented fact exercise reduces the risk of strokes, cancer & obesity.
Many other health conditions too can be improved if not reversed. E-mail or call us for further information, & we'll be happy to help.
NB - There are a million & one do's & don'ts when it comes to tailoring a routine for those with any of the above health conditions or special requirements. Your trainer will address & discuss the same with you in detail, & work out a programme for you accordingly.
Diet Guide
About Weight Loss
The right way in which to lose weight is not by dieting, but by eating the right kinds of food, coupled with the right amount of exercise. Diets (& especially crash diets) are not only ineffective, but can also be extremely harmful.
Recommended Dietary Changes (Healthy) food for thought...
- Remove the skin from chicken, fish & meat before cooking. These skins contain a high level of fat.
- Did you know that it takes your brain 20 minutes to realize that your stomach is full? So, if you eat slowly, putting your fork down after each bite, you'll become full after eating less food.
- Eat out of a smaller plate- you'll tend to feel you're eating more than you really are!
- Cut down on milk & milk products such as yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, ice cream, fresh cream, etc. If you must consume the same, make sure they are made of "No fat" milk, which is easily available.
- Eat more carbohydrates. Ideally, 58% of our daily food intake should be in the form of carbohydrates, but mostly in the form of fruits & vegetables. Consume less starch, e.g. rice, bread, potatoes, chapattis, & pasta. Switch to unpolished rice, wholemeal or multigrain bread, chapattis made of nachni, johar or bajra flour (not white or wheat flour). Consume only one starch per meal, not more.
- Avoid fried foods. Use cooking methods such as boiling, baking, steaming & grilling instead.
- Keep these foods in check: butter, mayonnaise, whipped cream, cakes, chocolates, desserts, salad dressing, Indian sweets.
- It's interesting to know that by cutting down on fats & increasing your carbohydrates, you can eat more food without increasing your caloric intake! This is because: 1 gram of fat= 9 calories, whereas 1 gram of carhohydrates= 4 calories.
- Cut down on meats. Most of us eat 2- 3 times more protein than our bodies require.
- Cut down on aerated drinks. Avoid juices. Drink more plain, room temperature water through the day.
- Avoid alcohol as it is high on calories. 1 ounce has about 200 calories.
- Eat to the extent where you are satisfied, but not stuffed! Most of us have this tendency to over-eat without even realizing it.
- Of course, changing old habits is not easy, so be patient. Moreover, be honest with yourself.
