Is Personal Training Ideal for Children?
By Kisar Dhillon
If you do not help your child now with his battle against obesity, then he is guaranteed to have a greater struggle in his hands as the years pass. Hiring a professional trainer will at least ensure that he does not fall into the kind of daily routine or lifestyle that would promote further idleness in his part and cause a further increase in his weight. Simply put, a trainer will ensure that your child keeps moving to burn off calories in the safest possible way.
Physically debilitating conditions
Asthma and anemia are just some of the types of illnesses that may make your child feel and seem weaker than their peers. Having a professional trainer working with them can, however, ensure that he is able to gradually build his own strength in spite of his condition.
As your child’s condition prevents him or her from exercising the way most children do, a personal trainer is definitely needed to ensure that your child gets just the right amount of aerobic exercise and weight lifting and does so at the right pace as well.
A personal trainer will know when and how to push your child beyond his limits without endangering his health. He will also know how to properly motivate children so that they would be more positive about their condition and their potential.
Athletics
Personal training can also help improve your child’s performance in the athletics department, which is likely to be essential if your child is showing all the signs of becoming a future sports hero in the future. In this case, you need to employ a professional trainer to help your child achieve his full potential.
At this point, a professional trainer would pay less attention to your child’s requirements in terms of women’s fitness or men’s fitness. At his age, the health and fitness requirements of your child’s gender are inconsequential. Rather, what would matter a lot at this point is that he/she gets the ideal combination of diet and workout to promote maximum growth and development. As such, it would also be ideal in this case to hire a nutritionist and have him or her coordinate with your child’s personal trainer.
The situations listed above make up just some of the many other reasons that parents may acquire for hiring a personal trainer for children. In any case, parents should always make sure that the fitness trainer they do hire has a proven track record for working with children.

Portland Fitness Article: Top 4 Reasons to Work Out With a Fitness Trainer at Home
By Kisar Dhillon
There are several good reasons why most people prefer to work out with their own fitness trainer at home. You yourself may benefit from at-home personal training programs, too, and you can find out if it’s so by considering the factors listed below.
Less time wasted
There is no need for you to waste precious minutes traveling back and forth to your local gym when you have your own trainer at home waiting for you. With an at-home workout program, you only need to spend a couple of minutes resting and feeding yourself before you start burning calories. The amount of time you have saved with this routine will consequently allow you to be more productive at work or at home and at the same time provide you with more quality time to spend with your loved ones.
No need to be self-conscious
It doesn’t matter whether you are doing aerobic exercise or weight lifting. When you are working out in the presence of other people, there’s a tendency to be self-conscious about your weight, your appearance, and your current skill level. Even the fact that you are wearing old trainers when everyone is sporting the latest and most fashionable trend in exercise gear could also discourage you from showing yourself in your gym.
Thankfully, you can shed off all your inhibitions and concentrate your full attention on your workout when you are at home and alone with your trainer and your goals.
A reasonable investment
At first glance, hiring a personal trainer may seem like a luxury that only celebrities and heiresses could afford. But if you think about it a little bit more, you’d realize that your initial expenditure would be offset in various ways by the fact that you are working out from your home.
Firstly, you no longer have to feel self-conscious about your clothes and gear. There’s no one to care or gossip about whether you look dowdy or fashionable while working out. You wouldn’t also have to spend on food or transportation, which you are likely to do if your fitness center happens to be a good distance from your home.
Quicker and better results
Last but not the least, the fact that you have a professional trainer’s attention concentrated solely on your performance is likely to help you achieve your goals more quickly and more effectively than you could have without one. This is because your trainer has also made sure the program you are following is customized to meet your needs and help you achieve your objectives.
Also, you have to remember that your trainer is likely to be an expert when it comes to men’s fitness or women’s fitness- whichever may be applicable in your case. As such, your trainer would also ensure that your program’s designed to meet gender-specific health requirements.
Lastly, your fitness trainer will ensure as well that everything you have learned from him or her are the types of exercise you can also perform on your own and on days when you do not have a session scheduled.

Fitness Article: Top 4 Benefits for Personal Training
By Kisar Dhillon
The initial costs of personal training can be somewhat dismaying, but it will be more than likely offset by the benefits listed below. You are guaranteed to enjoy each and every advantage listed here if and when you get your own fitness trainer.
Motivation
Professional fitness trainers have been schooled and trained to work with all types of personalities and consequently determine the ideal approach to use in order to keep them motivated to work out. Even if you feel you do not have the necessary self-discipline or willpower to keep to your diet and exercise plan, your fitness trainer will help ensure that you nonetheless stick to it – and achieve your goals in the end.
Also, the fact that you have already paid for your trainer’s services should at the very least motivate you to get your money’s worth even for just a session or two.
Specialized training
You can also ensure that you are working with a personal trainer who has the necessary expertise in the type of workout you are interested in, regardless of whether it has to do with weight lifting, aerobic exercise, or something else. If it makes you feel any better, you can also look for those with a proven track record in women’s fitness or men’s fitness.
Ultimately, the key thing to remember here is that you should work out with a personal trainer whose skills and competence you trust and respect – enough to inspire you to keep going.
Customized workouts
This is personal training, after all, and as such you can expect to get what you want when and where you want it and how you want it.
Basically, personal training programs begin with a talk between you and your trainer so that the latter could be informed about your fitness goals. Expect, however, your trainer to add a few more goals of his own and for you to achieve. Those additional tasks may seem like extra work but they are always intended to keep you healthy and fit. As such, you shouldn’t mind adding them to your goal list.
Also, keep in mind that personal trainers are supposed to work around your schedule and not the opposite. You therefore have the power and the right to ask your personal trainer to work out with you at your preferred time and place. Of course, do expect to pay extra – or have a more difficult time finding a willing trainer to work with you – if your preferred workout schedule happens to be unconventional.
Safety
Exercise can be fun and challenging in a good way, but it can also pose a threat to your own health and lead to unwanted injuries if you are unsure about the proper ways to go about it. Thankfully, the presence of your professional trainer will ensure that no such incidents would take place during your workout.
With these four benefits, you’ve hopefully realized just how much a help personal training can be.

Portland Fitness Trainer: Fast Twitch and Slow Twitch Muscle
So what is the difference between fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers? In basic terms, fast twitch muscle fibers are involved in activities where the muscle will contract a lot in a shorter period of time, which will cause it to fatigue rapidly. These activities include very fast sprinting, short bursts of quick energy, quick power lifting moves, and running back plays like in football.
When looking at slow twitch muscle fibers, these types of contractions are a lot slower, but the endurance of the muscle can last a lot longer versus fast twitch. The muscle will keep contracting without fatiguing as quickly as its counterpart.
To get a better idea of what these muscles look like in other animals, lets look at the chicken. When you are having chicken, some people prefer the dark or white meat. The dark meat is composed of more slow twitch muscle fibers (has more fat in it for long lasting energy), and the white meat is composed of fast twitch muscles fibers (quick bursts of energy).
Everyone has a different make up of fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers and utilizing different ones an recruiting different types will be another post. Above are the basic components of this types of muscle fibers and if you want to get more in depth, I would suggest reading an exercise physiology book to learn more about this.

Portland Personal Trainer: Exercising to Hard, Here are the Fitness Signs
There comes a point in your fitness routine when you just need to rest. I am not talking about taking a day off or two from working out (another blog post), but I am talking about when you are not able to catch your breath, you feel nauseous, your hands are getting clammy, you are sweating profusely and you just don’t feel good.
These are signs that you have pushed yourself too hard and that you need to increase the rest times between your sets and exercises that you are doing. If you are just starting out after having a long hiatus from fitness, then you want to give yourself at least one minute between your exercises. If you are doing aerobic exercise, then you do not want to go to your maximum heart rate. What you should be doing is just getting your body used to moving again, and then when you feel you have a better base, I would kick it up a notch. You do not go all out when you have not done anything for quite some time. If you feel like your breath is not consistent or you cannot find your rhythm, you are better off slowing down, go back into a fast walk and then build it back up again to a walk/jog or very light run.
If you need assistance then I would highly recommend that you hire a personal trainer to help you with this type of exercise. Another great tool that you and your personal trainer can do is go to a running track at your local college or high school and work on pacing. You can run the long sides and walk the corners. When you start to develop more muscular endurance, you can run one length and two corners, and then eventually the entire quarter mile loop.
Good luck with you exercise and remember, if you have a question, ask your professional fitness expert of personal trainer. Yes, it will cost you money, but you will learn the correct way and be on your way to better fitness program.

Dieting Tips for Quicker Fitness Success
If you have a fitness trainer providing you with personal training, he or she would likely be the first one to agree that dieting and exercise always go hand in hand. You may still get results from doing aerobic exercise or weight lifting faithfully, but the absence of diet is guaranteed to slow down your progress and prevent you from losing weight or improving your physical condition as quickly as possible.
Regardless of whether you are enrolled in a program for men’s fitness or women’s fitness, all the tips listed below are guaranteed to enhance the results of every training session you complete.
Never work out on an empty stomach.
It has been said again and again, but this advice bears repeating because a lot of people still insist of doing otherwise. Dieting has never been and never will be synonymous to starving. If you exercise on an empty stomach, you are forcing your body to burn muscles instead of fats taken from your most recent meal. You should eat and finish a healthy meal at least thirty minutes before you meet with your personal trainer, and you are guaranteed to burn all the calories you have consume from your last meal – and beyond that.
Never work out on a full stomach.
Conversely, it is also not ideal to work on a full stomach. Not only does it slow down your movements but it can also dangerously lead to stomach ulcers and other types of digestive problems. Eat moderately before your workout session and focus on consuming foods that are light but filling at the same time.
Don’t skip meals.
There are two reasons for you not to skip meals as a way of dieting – even if the strategy seems to work for you.
Firstly, skipping meals does not work for everyone. It does not work for those people who only end up hungrier because of it and usually succumb at the end of the day to indulging their food cravings to the extremes. Skipping meals is just another term or form of starvation and you already know what the opinions of experts are about this.
Secondly, skipping meals does work for some types of people – usually those with iron self-control. On one hand, they’re to be congratulated for being very self-disciplined. On the other, what they’re doing also happens to be dangerously unhealthy and may lead to ulcer, dyspepsia, and other medical complications.
Either way, skipping meals for dieting is simply not worth the potential hassles it comes with.
Take it one day at a time.
Dieting asks a lot from the ordinary man or woman. It requires you to turn your back on your favorite food and your favorite restaurants. When you think about all the rules that come with dieting – and the tips above are just the tip of the iceberg (no pun intended) – then it is easy to find yourself discouraged. You should not, however, let this get to you. If you strive hard to think of dieting requirements one day at a time, you will eventually realize that you have also managed to achieve your fitness objectives one at a time.
Thanks,

How to Choose the Best Fitness Trainer for You
Personal training is one of the most effective ways for a person to attain his fitness goals. Of course, the results or outcome of your workout are likely to be visible in a shorter period of time if you also happen to be working out with a personal trainer who’s the perfect match for you.
Specialization
There are personal trainers who specialize in men’s fitness and then there are those who specialize in women’s fitness. There are also those who are especially good with weight lifting while there are those who mainly advocate aerobic exercise for their clients to lose weight. You need to find out what the personal trainer’s specialized skills are and see if they can help you attain your fitness goals.
If you’re also the type to quickly lose interest in conventional workouts, you should look for a personal trainer who can occasionally include alternative sessions in your program. These could include but are not limited to dancing, martial arts, cycling, and other sweat-inducing activities.
Home Service
Not all personal trainers provide it, mind you. If the reason you want to work out with a personal trainer is because you can only afford the time to exercise at home then make sure you inform the other party straight out about your preferences. This way, you will know right away whether the personal trainer you are talking to can indeed help you get fit.
Style of Instruction
Personal trainers don’t just differ from each other when it comes to their personalities. They also differ according to their style of instruction. Some take a strict approach to workouts as a way of ensuring that their clients give their all in every session; think of it as tough love if you will. Then again, there are also personal trainers who prefer to take a softer approach. They provide you with lots of internal motivation to ensure that you do not lose hope about reaching your goals – no matter how impossible that may seem.
Methodical
One thing your personal trainer must be is methodical. He needs to have a clear-cut plan of what type of workout you are going to work on in order to achieve your ideal weight or fitness goals. There must be a point to every activity you engage in and every session you can complete.
Assessment
Lastly, your personal trainer must also employ the type of program that allows you to effectively assess and monitor of your progress. Aside from your own goals, your personal trainer will also provide you with per-session goals and program milestones to let you know if you’re on the right track and chugging along in the right pace.
As such, if you can find a personal trainer who can offer everything listed above then you have found the ideal partner to help you achieve your fitness goals.
Thank You,
