I over heard one of our board members contemplate the use of a personal trainer. She just didn't get why fit people would use one. And the truth is I suppose they really don't... of course I've been a busy one for about 25 years, so I must be doing something right?
But seriously, psychologists say the cornerstone of motivation is enjoyment. Knowing what makes training enjoyable is the key to staying motivated. Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, (i want to use his name in scrabble!) considered by many to be the world's leading expert on motivation, says enjoyment comes from challenging ourselves with tasks that are neither too difficult or too easy for our abilities.
A good trainer, (besides being half shrink)... knows how to temper your workouts on each day so that you get the most benefit in the shortest amount of time.
But that's just one mans opinion...
Til next time...
