For many, taking care of their health is one of the first things on the New Year’s resolutions list, and for good reason.
“Your body is the only thing you really own,” says Jeanna Parsons of Mobile Fitness Solutions.
Jeanna’s company can take the training to an individual’s home or even
place of work, for a workout that does not involve going to the gym and
therefore avoids the reluctance some people feel about starting an
exercise programme surrounded by other people.
Although Jeanna is often asked how she manages to get great results
with nothing more than what she can carry in the back of a van, she
remains mum about her secret, only saying that the programme has been
developed and fine tuned over time and that it really works.
Though many people start out the year the right way, Jeanna finds that
many of those health and lifestyle changes disappear by the time the
end of January rolls around.
The most important thing when starting off on an exercise programme is
to find someone who can help you stay motivated. Even better is finding
someone to whom you are accountable, like a personal trainer.
“There are people who believe that they need to reach a certain level
of fitness before going to the gym or getting a personal trainer, but
that’s just wrong,” says Jeanna.
A trainer can help you stay motivated and reach your goals sooner.
Jeanna also finds that people who sign up for a long-term contract with
a personal trainer tend to stick with the programme for longer, as they
do not want to lose the money they have already invested in the
training.
“People are more motivated when there are financial consequences to quitting,” she smiles.
Nutrition is also a very important element of training, not only in
order to lose weight but also to have the energy to complete workout
sessions. A qualified nutritional counsellor, Jeanna makes a point of
giving clients pointers on how to make it through their workouts with
energy to spare while still losing the excess weight. WH
