Accountability-We like to see are ourselves as motivated and strong all the time, but in reality, life sometimes gets the better of us. Having a trainer can be a powerful motivator for consistency, which in my opinion is the most important aspect of any fitness program.  We all are stronger when we are held accountable.  Alone, it’s easy to drop a promise; but together, we can reach levels that we did not believe possible.

Motivation-Have someone help you reach your potential, rather than just get by.  Sometimes we need someone to remind us to believe in our own strength, and to inspire us to try hard when we are struggling.  Having a trainer can be a catalyst for change. Personal trainers can help construct, define and refine goals.  Personaltrainers can be the brains behind your workout plan, who take the guess work out of the workout, and keep consistency from getting boring.  Personal trainers can be helpful at the times when you need a push, and can be your guide when things are going well.  Often I hear from clients after sessions, “I would have never done that on my own.”  That is powerful.

Knowledge/Resource- Speaking of powerful, how about increasing your knowedge and awareness of your own health?  Personal trainers can be a wonderful sounding board and resource in regards to learning the principles to taking care of yourself.  We are all on a life-time journey, and discovering new ways to take care of yourself, can only be a good thing.

Troubleshooter-Obstacles be gone.  A personal trainer can help you be more objective about the obstacles that are in your way. Sometimes we are so mired in our challenges we learn to be helpless.  Personal trainers can assist with mental strategies to deconstruct the obstacles and get moving!

Prevention-The truth is that failing to invest in your heath can have long-term costs.  Many of the ailments in society today are categorized as lifestyle diseases.  Many people incur health care costs due to illnesses, which actually far exceed the cost of committing to a healthy lifestyle.  The expense of a personal trainer mayseem like a luxury, but the long-term cost of putting your health on the back burner can be far greater.  It has been said that if you could take all the benefits of exercise and put it in a pill, it would be the most prescribed medication by far on the planet.

Individualized- We are all unique, and personal trainers best serve this reality.  Adjustments to programs and attention to details that are unique to your journey is a prime benefit of personal training.  What might be good for a group, might not be for you.  Personal trainers will customize a program for you, adding value to anyexisting workout program.

These are just a few of the the benefits of working with a personal trainer.  Changing ourselves can be complex.  Trust that you can do it.  Trust that you can swim against the tide.  And remember, there are professionals out there ready to help you on your journey to a better you.

Next Challenge starts next month!

Are you a great grocery shopper? Which yogurt should you be buying? Is cereal okay or should we stay clear completely? As a BCS Fitness client, you will have the opportunity to go up and down the grocery store aisles and learn about the good, the bad, and the ugly about food. You’ll get answers to your food questions and a grocery shopping list to get you start…all completely FREE.

Shopping trips will take place at Village Foods in Bryan, TX.

1. Nutrition: Most diet experts agree that your nutrition will be responsible for 70% of your success.
2. Exercise: Although you can’t underestimate the synergy that is created when good nutrition and hard workouts go hand in hand, exercise will only take you as far as your diet will allow it to. Exercise is recognized as contributing 20% to the overall picture of fat loss and gains in lean muscle.
3. Genetics: Your genetic make-up completes the puzzle at 10%.

One key factor in all three of these areas is your metabolism. A strong and speedy metabolism can help you utilize the calories you take in more effectively (nutrition,) it can help you burn more calories while you are working out (exercise,) and it can allow you to tap into fat stores while you work on the computer, sleep, or watch a movie (genetics.)

Here are just a couple of things we all can do to speed up our metabolism…

Drink Lots of Water. Start by sipping a total of 64-90 ounces of water per day and then add 8 ounces for every 10 lbs of fat you need to lose. The benefits of water include, improved kidney function, appetite supresant, better transfer of nutrients into cells, and better digestion of food.

Get Your ZZZZZ’s. Deep sleep enables our bodies to produce HGH-Human Growth Hormone. This is the hormone that works directly on cells to stimulate metabolism. This is one reason younger folks have an easier time staying slim since HGH is produced at a very high rate during earlier years in life. Getting 7-8 hours of sleep each night can help our bodies produce more HGH. Strenuous weight training has also been showed to increase HGH levels.

Increase Protein Intake. When you eat foods like chicken, fish, and other lean meats the number of chemical reactions needed to help it digest increase. Scientist refer to this as the “dynamic reaction of protein.” This reaction can raise BMI-Basal Metabolic Rate as high as 30% for a period of 3-12 hours after digestion.

We all know we can’t be 15 years old again, but we can help ourselves by doing small things everyday to insure we are maximizing our metabolic potential.

Live well and live with purpose, Brad
