Essential Fitness Workouts

5:00 A.M., 6:00 A.M, 7:00 A.M.

If you are a busy mom, a busy professional, or both – these early times can be your “best and most productive” hours in the day. If you want to get more fit and lose weight, then you need to workout, and to get your workout in, you need to find some time!

Trust me, there are many busy women out there that know what they want but don’t think they have the time to do it. That’s where the early morning hours come in…

5 great reasons to set your alarm at 5 or 6 am to get a workout in:

1. There are no meetings at 5 or 6 am. Generally most jobs don’t start until 8 or 9 am…
2. Almost all of the stores are closed. No need to grocery shop or anything, therefore no guilt about not getting 1 more thing done…
3. An early workout gives you energy ALL DAY. As compared to the later workout that hangs over your head all day.
4. You will burn more calories all day, which leads to better results!
5. The kids and the rest of the family are (usually) sleeping! They won’t even miss you, we promise! No soccer practice, no volleyball matches, nothing!… unless of course your kid is a swimmer, and they may practice at 5:00 am, but then you can drop them off and workout while they are at practice, you’re up anyway!

If you think you need help making this change to early mornings, hire a trainer and make an appointment. Knowing that someone is waiting on you will get you out of bed until your body adjusts and it becomes easier. As a bonus result, your evenings become more relaxed, and you will be happier and healthier.

Your Rights as a Personal Training Client

What You Can Expect From Your Essential Fitness Trainer (or anywhere!):

You should be the sole focus of your trainer during your session.

Your trainer should not discuss their personal lives with you during your session.Your time is precious, and your workout should be focused.You cannot learn form and focus when your trainer is prattling on about their latest date night.

You should expect your session to begin and end on time. As a professional, your trainer should be a master at managing the time before, during, and after your session.

You should expect to learn proper form on every exercise, and to be appropriately challenged. You should be positioned to be successful in completing most moves correctly. You can expect to only lift heavier weights when your technique improves.

It is not your job to fetch your weights. As a top service professional, your trainer will generally choose and give your weights to you.

Your trainer is the person to bring energy, motivation, and passion for fitness EVERY DAY. They must spend their time and energy moving you further along towards your goals- every time they see you!

Your trainer shall not do the following during your session: Be on their cell phone, Talk to other people, Eat. Refer to rules 1 and 2.

Your trainer should not lean on a wall, sit, or lounge in anyway while working. If they are passionate about changing lives, they will bring tremendous energy to your session, and work almost as hard as you.

You are not paying your trainer to be a tour guide, wandering around the gym aimlessly choosing a random machine to try. It is a reasonable to expect a well planned workout with your goals always in mind.

Your trainer should not accept your excuses and enable you to give up on your goals. Everyone may have a bad week or two, but outside of that, you need someone in your life that holds your feet to the fire. Someone who is invested in your success as much as you are, and who believes to their very core that you can do it. That trainer should never give up on you or take the easy way out. We know it’s hard to push people out of their comfort zone, but that is what you’re paying us to do – to make you better!
