Tips From Your Online Personal Trainer: Fall Fitness

Fall Fitness: What Your Online Personal Trainer Wants You To Know

Get Outside
Even when summer comes to a close, it’s not too cold quite yet. Continue to go outside for all of the running, hiking, and biking you were doing in summer, but now add some layers so you’re ready for some chilly air. Getting outside is great for your body and mind so try to do it as much as possible before the ground becomes slippery with snow and ice. Some people actually prefer going outside for workouts in the fall, as the summer can be too hot and can cause a sense of fatigue. Whereas summer is a good time for an early morning outdoor workout before it gets too hot outside, fall is a great opportunity for a post-work run in the afternoon or early evening.

Go To A Gym
As the air cools down, you always have the option of taking your workout inside. Gyms offer a stable environment year-round, as well as advanced equipment and personal trainers. If going to the gym seems monotonous or if you struggle to know where to start, join a group class, hire a personal trainer, or make it a goal to spend the same amount of time on each machine so you can find your favourites.

Bring The Gym To You
As summer fun winds down, fall might mean a busy schedule once again. The kids are back in their afterschool activities and they need to be driven around, you’re preparing for major family holidays, maybe you’re a teacher who’s gone back to work. Whatever the case may be, it’s relatively common for schedules to fill up starting in the fall. If you don’t have time to make it to the gym, schedule sessions with an online personal trainer. This gives you an opportunity to squeeze in a workout at home while keeping your motivation levels up. Your online personal trainer will work with you to find times that work with your hectic schedule and they will customize a workout plan that will help you reach your specific goals.

Try Something New At Home
If you don’t have much time to go to the gym or if you’re not interested in going out as much as it gets colder and darker outside, keep your home workouts interesting. There are lots of inexpensive forms of equipment you can get for your home, including yoga mats, resistance bands, dumbbells, jump ropes (or weighted jump ropes if you’re looking for a challenge), medicine balls, and more. If you’re looking for a way to make your home workouts more engaging, ask your online personal trainer what at-home equipment is best for your goals and can be incorporated into your workouts.

FAQ

Q: How do I find the right online personal trainer for me?
A: It might seem difficult to find the right online personal trainer since you won’t actually be in person with one another, but you will still be interacting with them via video chat and receiving training and motivation from them. Make sure your personalities work well together by knowing What To Look For In An Online Personal Trainer. 

Q: Can I ask my personal trainer to do our workouts outside?
A: If you prefer working out outside, let your personal trainer know! Your trainer wants to make your workout sessions as enjoyable as possible so you can feel excited about exercising. Keep in mind that you will need a stable internet connection if you are doing online personal training.

Q: I want to start exercising to build strength after an injury. Can a personal trainer help me with this?
A: Yes, an in-person or online personal trainer will help make sure you are not overexerting yourself or doing any exercises that worsen your injury. However, before you start your personal training, you should consult with your doctor as well as give your personal trainer a detailed explanation of the type of injury you have, the severity of the injury, and how far along you are in the healing process. Personal trainers are qualified to help you achieve your fitness goals but not to give medical advice.
