Preventing a hamstring injury

It’s a new year! You know what that means? Time to set goals and be successful this year! How can you make this year different? How can you actually succeed and accomplish everything you set out to do? Setting goals is a great start, but sticking to them is the difficult part. Here are a few ways to make 2014 a Success!

Personal Trainer Success Tip #1

Change Your Exercise – Instead of thinking about how much of a chore starting an exercise program will be, focus on all the positive benefits you will see. Not only will you see health benefits, but have a sense of accomplishment, improved mood, improved productivity, and an increase in positive energy everyday! This thought process can be applied to anything in your daily life. Always focus on the positives of each situation and everything will become easier!

Personal Trainer Success Tip #2

Set “reinforced” Goals – So what is a “reinforced” goal? Well your typical fitness goals are usually “lose weight” or “get toned.” Too vague and you can’t “measure” how you are doing. Instead this year set a goal to run a 5k, half marathon or even a full marathon!  Sign up for a sports league of your choice. Now you have a specific goal and reason to train consistently. By setting a goal for the future you will inadvertently lose weight, or get toned. Reinforce your goal, if it only adds an extra drop of motivation, it is worth it.

Personal Trainer Success Tip #3

Make Your Exercise Program Fun and Different This Year – Many people associate getting fit with endless hours of running on a treadmill. Change it up this year, add bodyweight exercises, kettlebells, battle ropes, TRX, or a Power Plate. (Link to articles or videos) A more fun and effective way to train! Did you ever notice, you run for an hour on a treadmill and you’re still in the same place! Try a new training technique, your motivation and results will change for the better.

Personal Trainer Success Tip #4

Invest in a Personal Trainer – There is no better motivational tool than a great personal trainer. They will keep you accountable each and everyday. Making sure you are hitting each workout with top notch intensity and ensure your nutrition is on point. A personal trainer will introduce new and innovative workouts each week. Making sure your form is as needed for not only the best results but also to keep you from getting hurt. Personal Training is an investment in yourself, if you can invest in a 60 inch flat screen, you can invest in your health just the same. Your health is worth it!

Try implementing a few of these successful strategies this year. You will notice an improvement in your health, mobility and of course looks!
