Why 1-2-1 ?If your health and fitness goals seem to remain somewhere on the horizon then read on...With so many people turning to personal training and achieving results there must be something in it, right? So what do you get for your money? In a nutshell, personal training is about manipulating a unique set of variables to enable you to achieve your goals. Specificity - your activity needs to be specific to your goals because the human body reacts specifically to specific activity. Overload - your activity needs to challenge your body. It must stimulate the body to adapt to overcome the challenge. Progression - ensuring that overload is managed progressively as your body adapts to previous overload so that your body continues to adapt as desired. Rest - adaptation of your body can only occur when it is resting and recovering from some previous form of overload or challenge. Ensuring sufficient rest is critical to achieving your goals. |
In reality, it is human nature to stick to what we know because it is easier. But in fitness terms, the human body will quickly adapt to this approach and progress comes to a halt. Its the same with training plans given to most new gym members - it becomes out of date in a matter of weeks as your body adapts to the challenges the plan presented. Any personal trainer worth their salt will use the 4 variables above. At Live2BActive, clients are given specific training plans that incorporate each of the 4 variables in a unique and tailored way for them. Ensuring you get to where you want to be. |
