How to Prepare for a Personal Training Session
Working out after a hearty meal is never a good idea. You’ll end up vomiting halfway through your session, and it won’t be because the session is too hectic or you’re too unfit! if you do need something for energy, eat something light at least an hour before your session. Foods like wholegrain toast, peanut butter or bananas and yoghurt are good for pre-workout meals. Make sure you’re well hydrated and have enough water packed in for your training session. Take a small towel with, in case you need to wipe off sweat regularly and dress comfortably! Working out can be stylish, but it also needs to be practical. Make sure you’re on time and relaxed before your session.
What should I expect from my first session with a personal trainer?
Your first session with your personal trainer is like an introduction. You’ll fill out some forms and complete a physical test to see your level of fitness. The trainer will also go through your goals for working out and your current eating plan. If this needs to be adjusted, the trainer will suggest options or draw up a dietary plan for you. In your physical test, the trainer will assess things like your height and weight, blood pressure muscular strength and flexibility and range of motion, among other things.
Based on all these factors, your trainer will come up with a realistic plan to help achieve your goals.
