Benefits of a customized plan
Exercise is a vital component when it comes to staying healthy and losing weight. You can certainly shed excess weight without working out, but your body is more toned and the results more noticeable when you exercise regularly.
Working out on your own isn’t a bad thing — but you’re more likely to stay motivated and see results with a routine that’s customized to your specific needs. There are plenty of benefits to a personalized fitness plan. Here are five to consider:
1. It’s tailored to your goals
Your goals are vital to your weight loss success. Whether you’re looking to build endurance, get a swimsuit-ready body, or you want to trim down, your fitness plan should reflect that goal. A fitness plan based around your goals keeps you motivated and interested.
2. You can stick to your fitness level
Nothing’s worse than trying to meet someone else’s fitness level when you’re not there yet. A customized fitness plan allows you to stay in your comfort level and grow in your fitness at your own pace.
3. It’s based around your schedule
Fitting long workouts in isn’t always conducive to a busy lifestyle. When you have a customized plan, each workout is tailored to fit into your life so you can get the results you want without sacrificing your precious time.
4. Motivation is tailored to you
Motivation is a huge part of a fitness routine. Without something that motivates you, your routine fizzles out without much success. A personalized plan works for your motivational needs, to keep you on track and help you meet your goals.
5. It fits your specific style
It’s easy to get bored with a fitness routine, especially when it fits someone else’s personality. A fitness plan tailored to your style and personality allows you to have fun and stick with your routine while still achieving your goals.
What’s involved in a fitness plan?
Our team provides you with customized fitness plans to help you meet your weight loss goals. This includes a number of exercises, both cardio and weight training. The breakdown of the specific exercises used in our customized plans include:
Weights and strength training
Strength training is a vital component of an exercise plan. It usually involves resistance training with weights, resistance bands, or your body weight. This helps build and tone muscles, while also preventing the loss of bone. Strength training is done a few times a week, with breaks in between to allow your muscles to rest.
Aerobic exercise
Cardio is a type of aerobic exercise that conditions your heart and lungs. Aerobic exercise is also helpful for you to burn calories. Aerobic exercises include running, swimming, and biking.
Flexibility training
Flexibility training is vital for your muscles to lengthen and relax after a hard week of training. Yoga is a great way to get exercise while also increasing your flexibility.
Balance exercises are also included in your customized fitness plan. These types of exercises help you prevent falls that could cause significant injury. Your plan may have a number of different types of exercise, depending on your specific goals and motivation.
