"Working Toward Fitness"

By Hut Allred

Do you need a personal fitness trainer?

Statistics show that 1 out of 3 people in the United States today are overweight, which means 35.70% or 97.1 million of the American population has a weight problem. 60% of people aged 20 and older are overweight while children between the ages of 12 to 17 are 12% overweight and children between the ages of 6 to 11 are 14% overweight. Out of these percentages, over 44% of Americans are considered obese with a body mass index of 30% or higher. When you take a good look at these statistics it’s hard to ignore the fact that there is definitely a problem where weight is concerned.Fast food restaurants, fast paced lifestyles, poor eating habits, and lack of exercise are all common contributors to this growing epidemic.

While there is no secret cure or miracle pill that you can take to lose weight, the good news is that there are things you can do to control your weight if you really set your mind to it. With a proper health regime of exercise and nutrition you can develop a personal fitness program that will provide you with good ways to lose weight and keep it off.

Your first step to losing weight is making the commitment to do what it takes to take those unwanted pounds off. Once you’ve made that decision, you might want to consult with a personal fitness trainer. A personal fitness trainer can help you decide what workout and nutritional program will work best for you in order for you to achieve your fitness goals.

Not only will a personal fitness trainer work with you one on one, but they are also there to help motivate and challenge you during your workouts. Staying focused and motivated is not always, sometimes life just get in the way. It is your personal fitness trainer’s job to help you with both physical and emotional issues that may keep you from sticking to your workout routine.

There are days when you just don’t feel like working out or going to the gym, especially if you’re slow in seeing your results. But you must remember that you didn’t gain the weight overnight, so it’s not going to come off overnight either. Getting to the point where you begin to see the results from your efforts is sometimes the hardest part of losing weight. Everyone loses weight at different rates. Men usually can lose weight faster than women. Your personal fitness trainer works with you on a personal level to help keep you motivated at times when you just feel like giving up. Sometimes all you need is a little extra push to get over the hump.

I cannot stress enough the importance of health related fitness. The statistics alone prove that we are a Nation well on our way to a society that is out of shape and overweight. It is not just a problem that affects adults anymore, but young children as well. By committing to make changes in your lifestyle you can be on your way to a happier, healthier, and thinner life.
