So you are out of shape,
and feel that getting into good physical condition is an uphill climb that you
can never make? Think of it like rallying in a baseball game. You must score one
run at a time. If you trail by a lot, you cannot hit a six-run homer. Put men on
base and knock 'em in one at a time.
The same thing applies to
conditioning. Put in a little effort every day. Do not worry about your gains.
Do not even check your weight every day. If you put in effort, you will
see gains over time.
Most trainers emphasize
fitness strength. However, that may not yield the results you are looking for.
Most people train to look good; the amount of weight they lift is a secondary
concern, if a concern at all. Therefore, train for cosmetic enhancements. This
will help you to create the desired body shape, rather than oddly developed or
unchanged bodies.
Most trainers do not give
a lot of thought to the uniqueness of a client's body. Their thinking is
"If it works for me, it'll work for you." However, most trainers have
been training for many years and do not know how to teach a new trainee how to
get in touch with their body and feel their muscles perform the exercises
properly. You must be able to feel and control your muscles.
Change your routine
Most trainers have their clients perform the same workout every time, over and
over again, for months and even years. Your body needs a change (not to mention
your mind). Create an ever-evolving workout pattern for yourself. Do not limit
yourself to a certain rote series of sets, reps and exercises. You will improve
more safely and quickly by changing things around.
Jason Kozma
"I've had an opportunity to train with five different trainers," says
entrepreneur Steve Buscemi (not the "Fargo" actor). "Jason is the
only trainer I'm aware of who customizes training and nutrition to my specific
needs and goals."
Jason emphasizes the
gradual approach outlined above. If that sounds good to you, he can be reached
at (310) 772-5105, or by checking out his web site at
www.smpersonaltraining.com .
Personal training sessions are $65 and up per hour. He can tailor a starter program for
you, and work with you on body part specialization, in-home training, nutrition,
and custom-designing the program that is right for you.
Forget lethargy and
apathy. Give Jason a ring and get started!
