Design Your Own Workout Program - No Need for a Personal Trainer

No Need For Personal Trainers...Create Your Own Workout Program

I am frustrated with the info given out by most personal trainers. Honestly, they seem to use a cookie cutter workout program, which they believe will work for everyone. I think for a beginner, there is some value in having a personal trainer...I just think that once you get the basics down, you are better served to come out with your own workout program. Designing a workout program is actually much easier than most people think.

Step number one: List your specific goals and chose a role model.

If you are looking to lose bodyfat, then you are going to want to focus a lot of your workout program on cardio. If you are looking to gain muscle size, then it makes sense to spend a large percentage of your workout program focusing on lifting Weights. I think it helps to find a role model. My personal role model is Brad Pitt in Fight Club. In that movie he is very lean and compact. I have developed my workout program in a way that maximizes fat loss, so 75% of my workout is on cardio and 25% Lifting Weights. This workout program allows me to maintain a very lean look year round.

Step number two: Decide how much time you are going to devote to Exercise.

In designing your Workout Routine, you are going to have to figure out how many days you will be able to workout. Contrary to popular opinion, I think you do need to workout 4-5 days minimum to achieve great results. Many personal trainers have their clients perform Workout Programs 3 days per week. The body was meant to get daily exercise. The people in the best shape I know perform at least some exercise every day. If you have 7-8 total hours to devote to a workout program, you will get better results spreading those 8 hours over 6-7 days -vs.- having three 2-hour Workouts. As an example....Matthew McConaughey simply tries to work up a sweat for at least one hour every day. That is a simple technique that obviously gets great results.

Step Three: Pick Exercises that are right for you.

What I typically see is the trainer taking every person through the exact same workout program, regardless of their body type. I also have head people complaining that a certain exercise hurts them. The problem is that the personal trainer simply can't get into your head and know what the exercise feels like to you. For instance, I have a spinal injury so I have to avoid any type of crunch exercise in my workout program. Only you know how a certain exercise feels to you. I use a lot of dumbbells in my workout program, since I can really feel them working my muscle. If I was a personal trainer I would probably design workout programs for my clients using dumbbell exercises. This would be a big mistake, since many people get a better workout using barbells or machines.

Step Four: Educate yourself about Fitness.

My advice is to educate yourself using the Internet and then come up with your own workout program that is perfect for you. Not only will you experience greater results, you will save time and money getting to your goals. There are several great resources online which will help you create your ideal body. Finding a really good e-book will cost less than the price of one session with a personal trainer. In no time flat you can easily design a solid workout program and fine tune it over time.

Whats a Great Workout Program That can be bought in Stores?

I'd like to get P90 but I don't have a Credit card... I know P90X can be bought is stores but Atm it would be too tough for me to do so I want a Workout Program that is just as good as P90 so that after 90 days of working out I can buy the P90X and do that. Any Ideas?

It is great that you are working out and getting in shape.

P90X is a fantastic program. I am in the middle of it right now. There is a fitness test you should pass before you get into it. But, it is build around the concept of muscle confusion. I think you have the right idea to get into some program and check this program out. It is a demanding and fun program.

You can start getting in shape. As always, diet and exercise are the key.

If you are overweight, try this out. Try eating 6 smaller meals a day with a protein shake for breakfast and lunch. A single serving of fruit for mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack. Dinner should be a sensible meal- minimize rice and breads. Try this for a two-week period. Then, vary your meals accordingly.

Workouts should have weights and circuit type of Training. Free Weights are great for toning and Weight-loss. Try some of the powerlifts such as squats and deadlifts. You can try dumbbell squats with shoulder presses. Here is a great and effective Circuit Training using a treadmill. Walk for 2 minutes (as a warm-up), jog for 2 minutes, run hard for a minute, then jog for 2 minutes, run hard for a minute, etc...do this for about 20-23 minutes. This works great.

By the way, do not be a slave to scale. Check the mirror also. It will show results.

This is just a start. Keep working out and eating properly. Get some foundation (if you do not have one yet). Then, you can consider P90X.

Good Luck.
