There are some dangers from being overweight that I wanted to stress in todays blog post.  They are listed below.

1. For every 5cm increase in the circumference of your waist your chance of death goes up by 17 percent
2. High BMI increases your risk of heart attack
3. Abdominal obesity is set at 40 inches for men and 34.6 for women
4. Waist size is one of the most important factors when considering risk of heart attack
5. Waist is a much better indicator than weight of dangers of heart problems

You often hear of the dangers of being over weight on the TV but what are the factual dangers?  Obesity can be seen by BMI readings a BMI of just 30 is considered obese.  Somebody who is just slightly obese can expect 2-5 years off their life.  People who are obese tend to have high cholesterol and high blood pressure.  As we get older aspecialy people in their fifties and sixties our chance of dieing from heart disease or heart related problems greatly increases.  If you are obese with high blood pressure and high cholesterol plus you drink alot and smoke and are in your fifties and sixties your chance of death is very high.  1 in 5 of us will die from heart disease in our lifetime those odds are scary enough but increasing them by living badly is crazy, get in shape now and lower your chances of heart disease straight away.  Unfortunately in our society this is considered normal but is actually life threatening.  Many obese people in the UK see no problem in being obese they think it is normal but realistically it is very dangerous.  If you are in this category and need help come and see us at personal training studios.  In just three months we can drastically increase your life expectancy.  Losing weight and getting fit is easy as long as you follow what we say.  I have trained many people in super high risk situations and now live a healthy normal life give us a call to book an appointment on 07752382929.

How often you see a personal trainer is predominantly down to your budget.  Most people tend to have personal training twice a week but we do have people seeing our personal trainers in Notting Hill at personal training studios three-4 times a week.  If you can afford it three is good and four is best I never really encourage much more than four times a week.  I have had people insist on training six times a week because of how much they love it but I don’t advise it.  If you can only afford one session a week one session is fine as long as you accompany it with some other exercise outside of the personal training studio.  We do discounts on block bookings so it makes it more affordable to come more times a week.  If you are wanting to train three times a week we can do block bookings bringing the price down to just £40 a session.

With the poor economy looming many companies are cutting back on corporate fitness making their work force even more unhappy in this current unhappy time.  At personal training studios we offer corporate fitness and think that in hard times like now fitness can really help your team so we are offering a weeks free corporate fitness to any company who wants to boost their workforce.  This deal is only free when a block of corporate fitness personal training sessions are purchased, this free week will be refunded from the block if you sign up.

When I first started this personal trainers blog I started it to give people who were thinking of a personal trainer more info about having a personal trainer.  I now try and offer people thinking of becoming a personal trainer advice, if you want to become a personal trainer reading this blog should give you lots of tips on being successful in the industry.  I aim to provide lots of helpful advice on success in the personal training industry and advice for people training with personal trainers how to improve their workouts, diet and lifestyle.

We pride ourselves on having one of the best personal training teams in dealing with weight loss, most of our personal trainers specialize in weight loss and are certified personal trainers in weight loss.  If you are a woman who wants to slim down to fit in that dress I suggest you speak to Rebecca as she has worked with many women to help them with weight loss.  If you are a man who wants to lose a beer belly or just shed a few pounds then I can help you I have specialized in male weight loss for years having been a competitive bodybuilder I know what it takes to lose weight through diet and exercise to create a muscular physique.

Alot of people see in the movies men getting up and out of bed and dropping to the floor and knocking out three or four sets of twenty press ups is this advisable?  With exercise the most important thing is rest if you are doing press ups everyday you are not letting the body fully recover so the answer is no.  There is nothing wrong with doing this on training days but be careful because jumping straight out of bed and into press ups can make you injure your self as you haven’t warmed up.  Warm up with 2 press ups then 5 then 10 something along those lines.  Yes if you have been doing press ups for ages you can go into it faster than people who haven’t but still bare in mind warming up.  In serious weight lifting gyms in the past I have been to you see guys warm up with 80 kg bench press, sure they can lift it and feel fine but this is very risky as the body if not warm can get damaged.

Personal training studios is staying open over christmas.  There are personal trainers working over christmas at the studio although I am away for two weeks you will still be able to reach me on 07752382929 and I can arrange a personal trainer for you over december or to start January.  Remember we are offering special deals on personal training block bookings purchased prior to December 25 so if you want an extra free session to kick off the new year then make a booking with one of our personal trainers now.

How often you see a personal fitness trainer a week depends on your budget and time schedule.  Some people find hiring a personal fitness trainer once a week expensive but its only when I break it down for them they see it is actually quite affordable.  Personal training sessions at personal training studios are £50 an hour now if you cut out one dinner out a week or a few drinks after work that fifty pounds easily become affordable.  When you first start personal training it is often a good idea to cut out all the negative such as late nights drinking and bad meals out as it will get you focused for your fitness goal.  Think of personal training as an investment in your body £50 a week is not alot of money for an investment in the most important thing in your life, your body.

Carrie bradshaw

Goals- increase fitness, tone up

Carrie Bradshaw is not very fit she never attends a gym and smokes every day.  The first thing we would try and target at personal training studios would be stopping smoking.  We would help her with stopping smoking but if this wasn’t working we would refer her to one of the stop smoking specialists we know and recommend.  Carrie would be doing a mixture of cardio and high repetition weight training this would help her to lose weight and tone up.  Carries diet is not very good she eats out daily and drinks alot of wine daily.  We would recommend her to cut back on wine and to begin eating at home where she can watch the way the foods cooked and what is added to it.  Carrie is constantly out being very sociable and stays up late working on her laptop therefore her meal times are irregular the main reason her body is not looking as toned.  She should be eating every 3-4 hours and low carb meals.  Smoking stops people from getting hungry as soon as she stopped smoking she would notice an increase in appetite and the appetite would be more regular though out the day so she would get into eating at more regular times of day.  With regular personal training with one of our London personal trainers and a regular eating pattern Carrie would definitely reach her goals.
