So, you decided to sign up for that gym membership on special in January and reclaim your overall health and wellness<\/a>? You\u2019ve heard that a personal trainer can really help you kick-start your new active lifestyle, with exercises and fitness plans that suit your specific needs. They\u2019re right, but just what type of results can<\/em> you realistically expect from working with a personal trainer? Let\u2019s take a look at a few:<\/p>\n

Personal training results<\/h2>\n

Lose Weight & Get Strong<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Face it \u2013 most of us think we could lose a centimetre or two here and there. The number one reason people hire personal trainers is to lose weight and get healthy. Your personal trainer will advise you on improving your diet (which makes up 70% of weight loss) and take you through training programmes that will involve both cardiovascular and resistance training. Get ready to see yourself grow in strength, and trim in size, with a personal trainer at your side to guide you the entire journey.<\/p>\n

A great exercise that your personal trainer may recommend to you in order to help you to lose weight is the Kettlebell One Arm Swing. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Place your feet in such a way that allows you to generate the most power. This is usually shoulder width or just outside shoulder width.<\/li>\n
  • Turn the kettlebell to a 45-degree angle.<\/li>\n
  • Take hold of the inside of the KB with your left arm. Keep your head up, with your eyes on the horizon. Make sure that your back remains extended by pulling in your core and retracting your shoulder blades.<\/li>\n
  • Push your hips back to get ready to swing.<\/li>\n
  • Drag the kettlebell back through your legs and keep it as close as possible to your groin. (It should never be lower than your knees).<\/li>\n
  • As you pull the kettlebell back, turn your wrist so that your left thumb points behind you. When the kettlebell cannot be pulled back any further, squeeze your glutes to generate enough power through your hips to swing the kettlebell.<\/li>\n
  • As the kettlebell is being swung up turn your wrist so that your thumb points up by the time the piece of equipment is in line with your chest. Finish with your body in a straight line.<\/li>\n
  • Let the momentum bring the kettlebell back down between your legs. As it comes down turn your wrist so that your thumb is now pointing behind you. Repeat your swing and alternate sides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
