Milnes has trained a host of celebrities, including Harrison Ford, Natasha Bedingfield and Cindy Crawford. If you a 45yearold woman, but your trainer usually works with 20something gym rats, it might not be a match made in bodybuilding heaven. Ideally, you want a trainer who relates to your particular fitness level. If you have injuries or chronic health problems, that even more important. As Milnes explained, can go out and beat you up. A good trainer knows how to make adjustments based on your age, health and any special health conditions. Certain styles will keep you pumped up, while others will give you a headache. The only way to know for sure is to go through an actual training session. Many trainers will give you the first session free. Does your trainer surround himself with a quality entourage?

Sporadic exercise of any kind seldom yields results. A good trainer will continually mix up your routine and come up with new and creative ways to help you stay motivated. Don be shy about suggesting something you like to try. Remember, throwing money at someone to help you sculpt a better body won't replace hard work and dedication. Half the battle is finding the right person up front, before you ever break a sweat. with a personal trainer should be a great experience, said Milnes. In the end, most trainers and experts agree: Major results boil down to the client determination and readiness to incorporate fitness into a healthy lifestyle for the long haul. I had worked with a trainer and she was great. I just was not in the right mind set at the time. You can have the world's best trainer, but if you don't have the right head set, you will not get results. I have recently lost 20 pounds (I have more to lose) and have learned that sustained weight loss can only come with both diet and exercise and that you need to truly change the bad habits that got you heavy to begin with. I have lost the weight by watching my calories, never letting myself feel deprived and walking every day in SmartSole exercise insoles. I read about them on my weight watchers board and the code ww10 gives you a 10% discount. I also always use a pedometer to make sure I get in 10,000 steps daily which is 2 miles. I have not found a pedometer that I am crazy about yet. I also have a coconut water as a treat when I finish my brisk walk. I never worked out in my life then met a lady married to a personal trainer and thought I'd try it. I didn't belong to a gym so we met at a park twice a week right through the summer. That was last June. I joined a gym in November so we'd have a place to meet through winter. Who the heck knew I'd like working out?! Nobody told me I could have fun. I just finally bench pressed 50 lbs and want to do more. We did The Death March through the park the first day we met and I had to ask him to stop so I could breathe; very embarrassing!! Now I workout Tu Th nights for an hour or so and do 45 min on the elliptical at level 10 and 90 min on Sat. with my trainer. So if you can find one, go for it. You might find out you love the challenge like I did! I have been walking and trying to work out for over a year. On my own I lost 70 lbs then went up and down 10 lbs for 5 months while I continued to work out. If you asked me a month ago if I worked hard in my work outs I would have said yes, if you ask me today if I worked hard a month ago I would say no not at all. Its perspective, technique, and having someone who knows the my limits better than I do. Best $ I have ever put down. I am sure I will use a trainer foe the next several months. Like someone has mentioned before u absolutely need to be in the right mindset for anything to work. I'm a 20something healthy woman who has always been at the ideal weight for my height and age. I had a personal trainer a couple of years back to help tone myself, but aside from the time I spent with the trainer, the rest of my life was the same and I did not see the results at all. Any kind of transformation requires a change in thinking and lifestyle. I committed to that 2 months back and without a trainer, I'm already in the best shape of my life incorporating healthy habits! I think it's about finding out what works best for you the trainer cannot do that for you unless you are equally sincere. With all the information that's available today, I personally think it's not necessary to have to spend on a trainer. It should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. LIVESTRONG is a registered trademark of the LIVESTRONG Foundation.
