Why Ask a Personal Trainer? and Not a Doctor about Exercise?

You would never ask your hairstylist to diagnose a mechanical problem on your car, would you? Of course not ? unless they were also a certified mechanic, on the side. Why, then, ask your doctor about exercise, when his or her line of work is the diagnosing and treating of illness and disease? To be sure, doctors are becoming more and more aware of the benefits of exercise in helping their patients improve their health outlook. But they must spend their very limited time between treating patients keeping abreast of new developments in medicines and treatments to help fight disease. In reality, they don?t have the time to invest in learning about the complete mechanics of exercise.

Therefore, does it not make more sense that the ideal specialist with whom to have an in-depth discussion on exercise and how it can benefit your health would be a personal trainer?

A well-qualified personal trainer has spent an extensive amount of time learning all about exercise. How different exercises are done, how to target specific areas of the body with exercise, how to avoid injuries, the structures of the body and how they work together, how exercise can help the body work more efficiently, the body-mind connection for complete health, and more.

A good personal trainer can demonstrate high-level understanding about the various aspects of exercise and what exercise can mean to a person's overall health.

As a result, he or she has the expertise to guide you through the proper "mechanics" of various forms of exercise, to not only lessen your risk of becoming injured, but to increase the benefits to be gained from exercise done correctly. They also have insight, gained from working with different people with differing needs, from which to draw upon to help you get past any stumbling blocks that are keeping you from maximizing your health.

Personal trainers are also knowledgeable about the physical limitations of many conditions and can tailor exercises to those limitations, so that health gains are still possible. Despite the marine-toughness seen portrayed by some personal trainers on "reality" television shows, not all personal trainers bark commands to get you to exercise. Personal trainers can be quite empathetic to the plight of the overweight person who hasn't exercised in a long while, but who has finally decided to get their weight under control and improve their health. A good personal trainer will work with you to reach higher levels of fitness without shaming you for the past that led you to becoming overweight.

Doctors keep themselves informed about the latest research and developments in the treating of disease and illness; personal trainers keep themselves informed about the latest trends in exercise and exercise equipment recommended for attaining fitness and health A personal trainer can warn you about the newest fads appearing on the exercise scene with a lot of fanfare and empty promises, before you endanger your health by trying to follow them.

A personal trainer provides the one-on-one instruction and attention most of us need to take charge of the wheel as we drive toward excellent, permanent health. The expert knowledge and guidance a personal trainer can add to your workouts is invaluable. You can achieve more benefits from the time you spend exercising and working toward your health and fitness goals by consulting with a trainer than you can with just about anyone else.

If you have a bad case of the flu, a broken bone, or a medical concern, seek treatment from your doctor. If you have a question about the best exercise routines for maximizing your health and fitness, consult a personal trainer.
