Personal training routines often share these characteristics:
- Rapid forceful movements
- (Therefore) higher risk of injury
- Moderate to high calorie consumption
- Fatigue (breathing is taxed)
- A competitive attitude
If you think about it, this kind of exercise may not be the best way to condition your body and mind. If you have a busy and stressful job it may be more beneficial to try something without week by week goals (you have those at work!). Further more, if you are a woman looking to get into shape, you may not want to ‘bulk up’, this is the typical after-effect of even light well managed weight training routines.
