Jumpstart your Fall Workouts with Personal Training

Rushing off to the beach for the weekend is behind you now. Back to the full work week and longer days. What many people also do is rededicate themselves to their workouts. However, knowing just what to do can be just overwhelming enough to cause some to procrastinate. Here are three key areas where New York City personal trainers can help you get out of the gate successfully.

Running

 People don’t necessarily associate personal training with running. Unless, of course, you are talking about a running coach, of which, many trainers who love to run double as running coaches, too. Personal training for runners is about becoming more explosive as a runner. Becoming a more efficient runner. By building muscle, you allow the muscles to work less to reach a certain pace. This can allow you to run farther and possible. We could get into fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers, but that is something you can discuss in more detail with your personal trainer. This knowledge will stick better when it has a more personal association.

Strength Training

 When you think of working with a personal trainer, strength training is what most people envision. Swinging Kettle Bells, hoisting dumb bells, twisting ropes, jumps, dead lifts, etc. The list could go on and on. If you have been doing the same old workout for years, it is definitely time for a change. If you’re bored with your workout, then your muscles are bored, too. Muscles need stimulation to grow. Experienced NYC personal trainers are equipped with the knowledge to bust up a tired workout routine and institute a stimulating intense program that will help you reach your goals. If you are using equipment that only functions one way, look for more versatile equipment and learn to use it multiple ways. You don’t need to do all of the exercises every time, but the constant switching is healthy. Again, your New York City personal trainer can design and execute a program with you.

Mind and Body

If you take a more holistic approach to exercise, you may be more interested in exploring yoga or Pilates as your preferred modality. These may be two of the easier options to do directly in your apartment. NYC yoga instructors are masters of the living room floor workout as very little space is needed. You can perform yoga right on your living room floor. Pilates is no different. For either one, all you really need is a mat. However, if you want to take your Pilates workouts to the next level, you may opt for a foldable reformer or Stotts Pilates chair to enhance your workouts. Nowadays, many personal trainers are adding certifications to be Pilates instructors to their qualifications. This may be an opportunity to vary your workouts with the same fitness professional.

All trainers and instructors are not created equally. It’s best to search for one that meets your needs and has a level of experience you are comfortable with. When you are ready to jumpstart your fall workout, search for the perfect trainer near you.
