After 6 months, I had tangible benefits, I lost kilos and inches and dropped at least a dress size. After being diagnosed with asthma as a child I also found that I could retrain myself to break out of my appalling breathing patterns.  My improved overall energy levels meant I was motivated in my everyday life and I had refreshing sleep as a result of being physically tired.

You often hear that people tend to give up exercising after the first session of their planned fitness programme. The main reason behind this is due to the excruciating pain or injury experienced after exercising.

Most injuries are often traced back to bad workout habits which are common mistakes associated with common exercise. It is important to determine how you can get fit and healthy without causing any major injuries to yourself.

Here are some tips on how you can reduce those risks:

1.    With a personal trainer by your side, he or she can determine you fitness level and create a bespoke programme that will help you achieve your goals without experiencing any injuries.

2.    It is important to ensure that you warm-up before any programme. While some might not consider this as an important step but it is a very big mistake and often leads to massive injuries. Your trainer can keep your warm-up sessions fresh by teaching you various different methods.

3.    Stretching is another crucial point as it allows the muscles to loosen and get prepared for the movements and exercises. Failure to stretch will often cause extra stress on joints, ligaments and massive injuries in a long run.  

4.    Following the set exercise regime, you personal trainer will ensure your exercise is carried out properly. This is the stage where most injuries happen especially when you don’t have the proper guidance.

5.    Then your personal trainer will gradually add on various exercising methods to your regime to increase fitness level based on your progress.

At Esteem Fitness, we also provide free health check prior to your training session coupled with free nutritional advice when you sign up. Following the proper exercise and nutritional advice, you will see satisfactory results within a set period of time.

At the end of the day, not only will you feel and look great by shedding the extra pounds, you will also have more energy. With the new changes, you will be motivated to lead a healthy lifestyle.

To get to know ‘you’ and find the right match we always conduct a free health check before beginning any personal training that takes 1 hour.

Paramount to this is your decision. Decision is the opposite of indecision or procrastination. So, if that gym membership is going to waste, its time you made a decision. Maybe a change in pattern or a helping hand that will whip you into shape. Put simply, a personal trainer that’ll take your well-being to heart and soldier through sweat and grunts to get you the physique that’s eluded you all this while. It’s attainable, decide if you want it!

All you need is a change of attitude. With anything in life, the key factor to success is having the right mind set and most importantly, motivation. Yes, you heard me — Motivation! Although many utter ‘exercise’ as the answer to living a healthy lifestyle but it always boils down to motivation to ensure you carry on and complete any programme.

Without the motivation factor, many struggle to even get up in the morning let alone exercise. With a personal trainer, you literally have no excuses. You just have to get up and open your front door. Having your personal trainer making house calls is the most convenient aspect of starting your healthy lifestyle. You get to work out at the comforts of your own home, in your garden or even at a nearby park if you prefer the outdoors.

Working out with a personal trainer will enable you to follow a tailored programme that will directly help you achieve your weight loss goals within a given time frame. The personal trainer will create a plan judging from your current physical status, i.e. fitness level and specific goals.

By having your personal trainer by your side, you can be rest assured that your workout sessions are being executed properly and this is very important to avoid any injuries. He or she will also be your motivational factor and will give you the encouragement required to complete your exercise regime.

With the right advice from your personal trainer as well as our nutritionist, you will achieve your goals in the shortest timeframe. Having the right balanced diet determines the performance and appearance, and then you can have the health and physique you always wanted.

So if you think enough is enough. No more excuses. All you need to do is just get yourself a personal trainer. You can start living a healthy lifestyle by giving us at Esteem Fitness a call. We would match you with the most appropriate personal trainer if you do have any complications or prior injuries. At Esteem Fitness, we can offer personal trainers to people in London and South East of UK. This includes areas like Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Middlesex and Herfordshire.

Stop putting it off and get ready to transform your life by letting us at Esteem Fitness help you fight for your health, fitness and appearance goals. So remember, all you need is Motivation! Motivation! Motivation!

Thank you for finding personal trainer Jon Weale for me. I have achieved my goal of running the half marathon in under 2 hours – I definitely would not have been able to do it without Jon whipping me round Richmond Park!

Thanks

The really good news is home gyms can also be cost-effective. They don’t have to be huge – you could use part of a spare room or a garage, for example. And you don’t need to deck them out exactly like a gym. You can simply select your favourite machines such as a treadmill and an exercise bike, along with a few weights to get you started.

As you enjoy your home training, you can always add extra machines or weights and expand your home gym over time. Although machines can be expensive, if you search online or buy during a sale, you can get a lot for a relative little. Plus, whatever you spend, you are making an investment. You have something to show for your money and should you ever decide to join a real gym in the future, you can sell off your equipment.

Having the gym equipment in your own house means you are far more likely to exercise, even when you are feeling a little tired, as you won’t have to trek to the gym or worry about the state of your hair or gym clothing. Your gym means your rules – you can wear what you like, listen to the music you find motivating or perhaps catch up on your favourite soap while exercising. You can set your own pace without the pressure of what those around you are doing.

You can also combine having a home gym with other forms of exercise such as a personal trainer. With a personal trainer, you can create the perfect schedule for you, based on your current fitness levels and goals. You can enjoy personal training in the comfort of your own home – for example, warming up in the garden and then using the exercise machines and weights alongside other routines, with your personal training encouraging you at every step.

So whether it’s because you dislike the gym environment or because you want the freedom to exercise how you want and when you want, a home gym could provide the ideal solution for you. And if you do want to combine this with having a personal trainer, Esteem Fitness can help as they offer personal training to people in London, Surrey, Sussex, Middlesex, Hertfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.

You can exercise in the park all year round, weather permitting. Imagine how invigorated you’ll feel after a quick workout on a cold, crisp and bright winter’s morning. And you need no special equipment – just make sure you dress for the occasion with light clothing  in the summer and add on some layers as it gets colder and some visibility, so you can be seen plus whatever the weather keep a bottle of water to hand for rehydration purposes.

The biggest bonus with park exercising is the variety. You have so much freedom to enjoy a workout or sport of your choosing – we have suggested a few below to get your ideas flowing.

Jogging

Probably the most obvious choice, along with walking, but jogging is ideal for park exercising. You can choose to jog around the perimeter or create your own route – for example, in Battersea Park in London, you could jog alongside the bank of the River Thames.

If you are not keen on jogging or just starting with your fitness training, you could alternate walking and jogging. For example, you could walk at a reasonable pace for three minutes and then jog for one minute, repeating this as often as you like.

Fitness circuits

If your local park is a reasonable size, it may have a fitness circuit. Many of the parks in London and the South East have this facility including Battersea Park in London and Light water Country Park in Surrey. Each one is slightly different but fitness circuits offer a great workout at your level – select the exercises you want to do as you work your way around.

Create your own exercise routine

If your local park does not have a fitness circuit, you can easily create your own – all you need is a small playground which has monkey bars or equipment with a bar at a suitable height and a park bench. With just these few things, you can do some pushups on the bar, for example, using both hands and lifting your body up towards the bar and then slowly lowering yourself. Repeat about ten times, depending on your fitness level.

With the park bench you can simply stand behind it and take two steps back. Balancing on your toes, place your hands on the back of the bench with your arms stretched out. Then simply lower yourself down towards the bench until your chest is near the back of the bench, and then push back up. Another exercise is squats. Stand in front of the bench and put your hands on your hip, legs shoulder width apart – chest lifted, stomach in and body weight on the heel of your feet – and simply lower yourself closer to the bench and to a comfortable level. Then raise yourself up again. Repeat both these exercises about ten to fifteen times.

Of course, you don’t actually need any park equipment at all to do some exercise. For example, you could do some traditional push ups on the grass; some lunges and arm stretches; or find a kerb and step onto it and off it repeatedly. Alternatively, you may want to enjoy a game of Frisbee which will give your arms a good workout as you stretch to catch it or run around and kick a ball for a bit.

Extras

There are plenty of options to add variety to your park exercising. You could go running with a friend or play tennis on the outdoor courts. Also, many parks have sports pitches for football, hockey, basketball etc, as well as sports centres for indoor group training such as circuits or for exercise classes although these are not always free activities.

Parks are also the ideal place for personal training as there is more than enough room for you and your personal trainer to create the perfect fitness training for you.
