Progression in training

It has been 3 months since I have returned to training after my third operation (I wrote about overcoming disadvantages some time ago).It is still 5 weeks to my holiday but training and nutrition are going in the right direction, at least I think so.

This days is all about marketing and on every step many personal trainers or fitness gurus trying to sell us, amazing, bespoken (I have never understood this bull…) training programs, great new diets, equipment, which gives us fast and jaw dropping results in no time (do you remember when they promoted power plates with slogan –get result of 1h training in 10 min.-who is using them now?. I have seen people who maniacally attended power plate’s classes-they haven’t looked so great).

There is no magic program,equipment,diet(after present one there will come new once, on which somebody will earn a lot of money but will they be any better than previous, especial ,,old school’’ methods).

However, there are two simple and the most effective rules:
1) move more and eat right
2) understand and apply principle of overload in your training. Overload means that you have to push, challenge your body to allow adaptation and progress in training and look. Like, I always say-if feels nice, it doesn’t do anything.

It is very beneficial for many to hire personal trainer. Only problem is, these days almost everybody is personal trainer. In my opinion, it is good to look at your potential trainer and ask yourself-does he/she looks how I would like to look?
If they don’t- does it mean they lazy or they don’t know how to achieve changes by themselves.

Another thing, more difficult to do-it is to observe them training other clients. Do clients perform exercises with good technic or just trainer makes a lot of fuss and noise that everybody at the gym sees that PT trains somebody.

It is worth to check not only qualifications of trainer but sporting past and present of trainer. I will always trust more to somebody who has trained different sports than only have a long list of qualifications.

I will write more on subject on another occasion, meantime-train and eat
