  Sarah Adams - Freelance Personal Trainer REPs Level 3 Advanced Fitness Instructor Member of Register of Exercise Professionals mobile: 07976 957427 sarah@fitangel.co.uk  The Register of Exercise Professionals is the body within which exercise professionals practice safely and competently and to a regulated standard. I carry full liability insurance and am trained in CPR and first aid. HELLO?...  CUT THIS OUT AND STICK IT ON THE FRIDGE. NOW. My personal and professional interest lies in Body Building Anatomy, Physiology and Biomechanics. SERVICES * Home fitness training * Nutrition solutions PHILOSOPHY Firstly, this is not about becoming muscularly HUGE. I believe it is fundamental to be athletically fit and toned. My fitness programme is realistic, tailored to your goal and sustainable WHAT DO I GET OUT OF HAVING A PERSONAL TRAINER? Personal Training is exactly what it says - Personal. INDIVIDUAL. Tailored to your requirements and goals. I won't instruct you to do anything that you are not comfortable with or that has a negative impact on your perception of physical exercise. * Are you struggling with motivation? * Are you bored of working out or want to start but don't know how? * Are you seeking a fit body for life? * Is that last 7 pounds a struggle to lose? * Are you just trying to be able to fit in your favourite jeans? * Do you need sport specific training? If you can answer YES to any of the above, then you're in the right place! With correct training and by following my programme, your body will be educated to walk and standtall, confident and lean - * YOU WILL move more - BECAUSE YOU WANT TO * YOU WILL do more - BECAUSE YOU CAN * YOU WILL burn more calories AT REST! * YOU WILL increase lean muscle mass * YOU WILL Improve circulation * YOU WILL Improve lymphatic performance * YOU WILL Increase motor function * YOU WILL Improve posture- no more joint pain I advocate perfect technique when lifting weights or when commiting to any purposeful physical movement. This is the basis of all my training sessions. There is ample clinical evidence out there to prove the positive benefits of strength training but the maximum benefit will only be realised with proper form. Only through this attention to technique can we achieve targeted fast results. Hard work - BUT WORTH IT . Practising perfect technique is also the only way to avoid injury. Stabilising muscles inside areas like the shoulder girdle, pelvis and spine, play a major role in the correct function of the larger muscle groups (the ones that use the largest amounts of calorific energy) and are essential for correct postural alignment. We need to focus on strengthening these stabilisers before we even think of progressing toward our goal. LADIES, PLEASEdo not be under any illusion about lifting weights. This does not result in hugely oversized muscles.... What you will get is toned, springy...LEAN muscle tissue. You will also get definition between muscle groups and improved body symmetry and proportion. The more muscles you bring out of hibernation, the more contribution to the speed of your muscular metabolism (burning fat quicker & more efficiently) they make - without you realising it. CARDIOVASCULAR EXERCISE Every session will have a cardiovascular element (in addition to the warm up) in order to strengthen the heart, circulation, lung function and for overall fitness. Examples of cardiovascular activities: * swimming (sees note on swimming) * brisk walking (outside or treadmill) * jogging (outside or treadmill) * cycling (outside or exercise bike) * cross trainer * rowing (machine only - I have no boat) * stair climber This is a separate note for those serious about making a start in bodybuilding or want to make substantial objective progress in your existing training. I will train alongside you and create progressive training programmes to meet your personal goals with sports nutrition guidance available on request. FOR THOSE WHO SIMPLY WANT TO VASTLY IMPROVE THE WAY THEY LOOK AND FEEL - READ ON..... This fitness programme WILL require some effort from you. You will also need committment * Weights ARE heavy and I DO require you to use them. * You WILL get out of breath in our sessions. * The pay-off? YOU WILL see fantastic results. When the 12 week programme has ended - you will find it VERY difficult to slip back into the familiar habits that have enabled your fitness to deteriorate. Why not top up your motivation with the odd Personal Training session every now an then to keep you on your toes? THINK OF HOW YOU COULD LOOK IN ONLY 12 WEEKS TIME..... DO I NEED TO BECOME A GYM SLAVE?? NO. You don't have to grab a gym membership by the throat and throttle it until you collapse - or lose interest. NO. You don't have to spend 3 months trying to cancel the direct debit so you can have your life back. NO. You don't have to set foot in a gym if you don't want to. EXCUSE ME.......  DID SOMEONE SAY..."GYM"?!!!!! Instead, resolve to commit yourself to a 12 week love affair with your body - and no one gets hurt! The huge benefits of training at a gym are obvious - but gyms are not everyone's cup of tea. PHONE ME TO BOOK YOUR FIRST SESSION AND LETS GET CRACKING!! |
