☑️ Stop with the excuses!
Some of you need to change the story in your head before you can get results. Here are some of the top excuses we hear that are holding you back.
Too old -
You are never too old to start exercising!
Are things different as you get older? For sure! Those joints do not feel the same. There are probably some exercises you need to stay away from that you could do a few decades ago.
You have to move it , or you lose it! We have had clients in their 60s, 70s, and 80s. There is
a big difference between those who have taken care of themselves, and those who have not. But it’s never too late to start!
If you want to remain functional as you age, then you need to be exercising. Focus on functional strength training , mobility, balance, and flexibility work. Of course you need to stay active and get that cardio in, but keep it low impact!
Choose a qualified personal trainer to design a program for your goals and body type. Make sure they know how to modify exercises based on your body type. Do your research on top certifications, experience, and make sure their personality is a good fit with yours.
Too out of shape
I often hear “I need to get in shape before I hire a personal
trainer.” People are embarrassed to struggle, afraid of what other people may think of them. Afraid they will not be able to keep up with the pace of the workouts.
If you are not able to keep up with the pace of the workouts then you have an incompetent trainer. You picked the wrong gym. A good personal trainer will design a program to help you make progress. They will meet you where you are.
I understand being afraid you will not fit in with the group. But this never happens with our group sessions. At RPT, our personal trainers start with a no charge consultation to make sure you have the correct service based on your fitness level, injuries, and preference of service. We have 1 on 1, semi private groups of 2 to 5 people, and then our group training. We place you in a group with similar fitness levels that will support efforts.
No Time
Life gets busy. I get it. But you do have time. Stop using that excuse. You need to make time for something that will make every aspect of your life better.
It can be something as simple as 20 to 30 minutes of strength training 2-3 times per week. Focus on the fundamental
movements of strength training combined with getting in more steps per day. Or anything you can get in for cardio. Throw in a few stretches and mobility exercises around your workout, or even at your desk.
At RPT, we have flexible schedules, length of sessions, and payment packages to make it easier. We have 30, 45, and 60 minute sessions. We have time from 5am in the morning to 8pm in addition to weekend times. If you hate
contracts, we have options for session to session, month to month, and even punch passes.
Injuries
Major injuries can sideline you. Most people are able to do something, anything, to keep up some momentum towards their fitness goals.
If you have minor injuries, focus on what you can do.
Not what you can’t do. If you have a lower body injury, you can still get some upper body training in. Most people with shoulder injuries can benefit from upper back/posture work. Everyone can benefit from soft tissue work, mobility, and flexibility training.
Hire a personal trainer to design a program that helps you work around your injuries. Strengthen the muscles that will allow you to prevent injuries.
