A Real Professional Personal Trainer Asks These 5 Questions Related To Your Lifestyle

The process of starting training with a new client is initiated with a very important part, client screening. And, clients should remember one thing. Never trust a trainer who promises personalized training and diet plan without proper screening. One who is a real personal trainer asks a lot of questions about your lifestyle, good or bad habits, job, diet, medical history and health. A real trainer can create a personal training and diet only when an accurate answer to every question is supplied.

An exercise that is good for others might be unsafe for you due to your health. Consider an example. If you are diagnosed with a herniated disc in the back, there are some weight lifting exercises that can worsen the condition. Standing hamstring stretch and deadlifts are also not good for your health. Waiter’s bow, stretching hamstrings while lying down, and butt lift (make a bridge) exercises are really helpful for a person suffering from this condition. Therefore, do not trust a trainer who does not ask too many questions and simply ask out to fill out gym membership application form. To save you from getting deceived by false promises of 100% personalized training, we have explained the client screening procedure followed by certifiedprofessional personal trainer.

  

Your Lifestyle

Occupation 

Your occupation may involve lifting, pushing, pulling, pressing or other physical activities. Or, you might be in a job in which you are bound to the office chair for long eight hours. If your job is sedentary, then the training must consist of exercises that increase the strength and flexibility of your body.

Junk food has low nutritional value. To make your very own healthy diet plan, the trainer has to know the quality and quantity of the food you regularly eat.

Good/Bad Habits 

Excessive alcohol and smoking can throw a spanner in your weight loss goal. The trainer will suggest you to give up drinking and smoking or set the lowest limit of intake to maximize results.
