1. Have goals. Create a vision of what you are looking to accomplish.

2. Be OPEN to learning, be excited you are on the way to accomplishing good health!

3. Evaluate your weakness & strength's. Tell your trainer what your obstacles have been in the past, and together develop a strategy to combat them.

Note: consistency builds confidence.

4. Identify what motivates you and share this with your Personal Trainer.

5. Discover what your true intrinsic wants are for your personal well being. Make a list, and laminate it! Keep it by your side for those days where you are struggling & you don't want to exercise. The clearer your vision is, the more you will benefit from your sessions.

6. Ask any and all fitness related questions you have including nutrition, what muscles are working, the purpose of the exercise, and.have your trainer educate you as much as you can handle.

Q: How frequent should I exercise?

A. I would prefer cardio, 3-5 times per week for 30-60 minutes depending if you have your doctor's permission to do so, and 2-3 times a week for strength depending on your goals. For maintenance: strength training is ok 2 times a week: for weight loss/bone density issues, 3 -4 times is sufficient.
