The Benefits of Buddy Training

Saturday, 25 November 2017 by admin
By Marcisco Morrison 

One dilemma we all face is staying motivated when it comes to exercising more or eating better. It’s not easy to hold yourself completely accountable. So, for training purposes, is there another option? Yes, why not call up a neighbor, friend or a colleague? That’s right, go ahead and get yourself a buddy. You never know that person you call up could also be in the same situation just like you.

When you know that another person is experiencing the same challenges like you are going through, facing similar obstacles, it is only comforting but motivating, especially when you work together. It develops strong sense of camaraderie.

Think About it there is Power in Numbers 

When you got another person going with you, it becomes less intimidating using the gym, starting new classes, trying out some new equipment such as kettlebells, or hitting the weights. If at some time you have ever considered starting something like a FourFitness training session, perhaps joining a strength training session or trying out yoga, get yourself a buddy. Things will certainly be less daunting.

On the financial aspect, good personal trainers will give you a discount when you book as a pair than when you each book a session separately.

There is Less Chances of Skipping Workouts 

When you know that your workout buddy is counting on you showing up at the gym at a specific hour, you are less likely to skip. It could be very tempting to skip a fitness class after a tiring day at your workplace, but when you know that your buddy is already rolling out the mat, you will not want to let him or her down.

Additionally, having a workout buddy means you can plan your fitness training sessions in advance so that they meet your respective personal schedules. Once it’s agreed upon and possibly written down, you are more likely to follow it through.

Likely to Work Out Harder 

Compared to when you are working out alone, when you got a training parter, the intensity will always be greater. However, it is very important that you pick a training partner who complements your skills and fitness goals. Your own athletic abilities ought to set the standard when choosing a buddy. When you are generally at par, you can positively push each other for mutual benefit.

Positive Chatter

Think about it, when we have some doubts regarding our training plan or are feeling guilty because we cheated here or there, it is very easy to give ourselves a big pity party. Self-talk has failed and something must be done. That’s what your fitness training partner is made for! They will reinforce the good you have achieved so far and point out the positive changes happening in you.

It Will Keep You Grounded

It’s normal that, from time to time, when someone begins to record good workout results that a little ego creeps in. A good workout buddy will recognize and appreciate your achievements. At the same time, he or she will keep you fully grounded by continually pushing you to do even better.

The bottom line is that having a well-selected workout buddy is likely to push you faster to your fitness goals than you would achieve alone. While all that we have discussed above are excellent reasons why you should get a good workout buddy, perhaps the greatest benefit that is often overlooked is the fun! Regularly working out with a close friend can be lots of fun! It’s no longer just you and your trainer, but a team.

The Importance of Working Out with Consistency

Sunday, 12 November 2017 by admin
By Marcisco Morrison

Working out consistently will help you get the fitness results you desire quicker. However, the fact is that in reality, life issues tend to get in the way even when we want to maintain a regular schedule of working out or training. The other undeniable fact is that there are indeed many legitimate reasons that force us to skip the workout routine now and then.

It is okay, of course, to miss a couple of workouts now and then, but if you want to reap the most benefits, the best option is to maintain consistency. Training experts will tell you that even a random training or a poorly designed program is likely to give you results if you consistently follow it and train regularly.

Maximize Your Results 

A training plan that is well-designed and consistently followed will maximize your outcomes. A plan that has been well-thought out with the proper blend of stress and recovery ensures you are getting the most appropriate kind of training and at the correct time.

Athletes that are well-balanced always have their training priorities in line, ultimately helping towards their success. Also very important, is to design a program that complements your lifestyle. One that you can consistently follow without causing upsets in other aspects of your daily life. Ensure that your workout goals don’t overreach the time available for your training.

Impact Your Physical Health 

Consistently working out is essential for your overall physical health. For example, when you run for five miles on a single day then avoiding exercising for the following two weeks will only end up leaving you feeling quite sore. For the body to experience random bouts of strenuous exercise, it is not only too straining but unhealthy.

For maximum impact, it is best to gradually build up levels of strength training, flexibility, and cardiovascular strength. A measured increase in the levels of intensity allows your tendons, ligaments and muscles a chance to gradually adjust to the challenges and strains of your workout regimen.

Increases Your Mental Well-Being 

Your mental well-being is enhanced through a consistent workout regimen that contributes to reducing stress. When your body is exposed to regular workouts, it releases endorphins that are proven to enhance your mood. Most likely, you have experienced that positive feeling that comes after finishing one of your cardiovascular sessions. In addition, when to go for a couple of days without working out, you might find that your general energy level decreases accompanied by low mood.

Conclusion 

A very illuminating point regarding consistency can be seen when we look more closely at the word consistency itself. Per se, the word doesn’t simply allude to a regular frequency but to an unflinching focus, a general steadiness. If you are committed to your workout, you will do all that is needed to maintain your focus because only then can you achieve the desired outcomes faster.

The key lies in training consistently, finding your unique “minimal effective dose”. This is what will provide you the kind of physical and mental outcomes you want to see. Once you focus on that, the results will come easily without too much stress.  Come visit us 650 Montgomery Street, Jersey City, NJ
