It Doesn't Take 1000 Exercise Repetitions..........

I started taking weightlifting seriously in high school, especially in offseason football training....we basically thought it was "cool" and "the right thing to do when we tried to bench press and squat the world in pounds! Our coaches must have thought the same thing because they encouraged us to do it! We also had 2 and 3 hour workouts and exhausted ourselves (some of us ended up injured).

During college football, our trainers were smarter and put us on structured, 12 month nutrition and weight training programs. As a consequence, I had incredible muscular growth and I improved my athletic skills.

I'm telling you this because now as a personal trainer I know that it doesn't take 1000 repetitions and 2 hour workouts to reach your fitness goals, whether its fat loss/weight loss or muscle growth/weight gain.

It takes you having a fitness program tailored to your individual needs. And, in any case, you can accomplish your goals with 5-6, one hour (or less) training sessions per week. Over-training will leave you broken down and injured.

Don't underestimate the value of a well-designed, individualized fitness program prepared by a professional fitness trainer! It makes a difference how, when and how much you train. Tearing an article out of a fitness magazine will probably not work for you.

Those same people ask me questions all the time and my answer is always the same: "it depends on your body and fitness goals as to how I would design a fitness program." Two people following the same exercise program can get different results.

Train hard and smarter to reach your fitness goals! I can help you do both!
