Struggling to stay fit during lockdown? There are a lot of places, and trainers, doing online workouts and classes to help you stay fit. But what if you want more? Let’s look at online personal training during lockdown.
When people think of personal training they think of being physically with someone in a gym setting, a trainer counting reps for you and that’s pretty much it. That is the “training” part of it, but let’s look at the “personal” side of things.
A personal trainer adjusts for your circumstances
Just like sex, a good session is all about communication. Your PT will know how you’re feeling that day, if you’re tired, low, stressed etc. If you slept badly and now your hip hurts they will know how to help you.
If you’re on your period, on top of all this other lockdown crap, they should know how to adjust your session to ease cramps, back pain and fatigue.
This means you can still workout on days where you wouldn’t if you were on your own. Your PT can keep you moving no matter what obstacles are in the way.
A personal trainer gives you accountability
Most of us now have very little structure to our days. Even if we work from home the usual routine is different. The commute is now from your bed to your new work space (in a city centre flat, that might also be your bedroom).
If you have a session on *this day* at *this time* you will be there. Without a defined time to workout, often we push it to the end of the day and it doesn’t get done.
