It seems like half of NYC is working with Personal Trainers in one way or another these days. Some workout with their favorite Personal Trainers through fitness boot camps in NYC or at their homes with In Home Personal Trainers in NYC, while others are members of Private Personal training gyms in NYC where you have to be connected to at least one trainer just to become a member.

Why is this? What drives so many people to pay Personal Trainers when they could just workout by themselves in an ordinary gym?

#1: You are more likely to workout if someone is waiting at the gym for you.

Most people who workout in ordinary gyms don’t actually workout half the time they say they are going to! They have no one holding them accountable and most people will flake out on themselves when they would never do it to someone else. It’s sad, but it is a fact of human nature.

Think back to the last time you skipped a workout. Yes, you were tired or had a bad day at work or the weather was horrible outside and it was too much of an effort to go tot the gym. That is understandable, but would you have gotten up and done the workout anyway if you knew a personal trainer was waiting for you at the gym?

You are more likely to stand yourself up than you are to stand someone else up, so Personal Trainers are great tools just to get your butt to the gym in the first place.

 #2: Working out with someone else is more fun.

Why do you see so many people in gyms working out with their iPods? Workouts just get boring without someone else to talk to and coach you through. Plus, many of them are spending way too much time just walking on a treadmill or circles around a track. If they had Personal Trainers they would be doing more exciting things and would have a companion. The workout wouldn’t be boring, even without their music!

If you can find a Personal Trainer that you really connect with, even the most intense workouts can be tons of fun.

#3: You don’t have to wonder if what you are doing is intense enough for your goals.

Since you don’t have the expertise, knowledge and experience that Personal Trainers have, you are always wondering if your exercise plan is enough. If you aren’t seeing results you wonder what you need to do to change that. If you are seeing some results you wonder what can be done to intensify the results even more.

That is where Personal Trainers come in handy. When you attend a private personal training gym in NYC or hire a Personal Trainer in NYC they know how to get the results. They have the knowledge to answer those questions and make you successful.

#4: You will be pushed much harder than you could ever push yourself.

Let’s just face it. Most of us are wimps when it comes to feeling our pulse throb between our ears and the sweat flooding from our pores. Personal Trainers will always push you harder than you push yourself. That’s why they get the results you can’t get by yourself!

 #5: Your results will be downright addicting.

In the end, you will be glad you hired one of our Personal Trainers in NYC because the changes you see in your body will be nothing short of amazing. The results can be addicting, so watch out! 

The core of your body includes not only your abdominals, but your back and pelvic region as well. The reason why the best personal trainers in NYC often focus on strengthening these muscles is because every movement that you make throughout your lifetime will depend on strength in the core. Stronger core muscles reduce your risk of injuring your back or hips during every day activities, through exercise, or when participating in sports and other activities.

The following are the top 6 core exercises often used by personal trainers to strengthen the core.

1. Plank

Go into push up position with arms bent at 90 degrees and flat on the ground. Make sure arms are parallel to each other and shoulder width apart. Make sure your elbows are in line with shoulders and prevent your buttocks from pushing up toward the ceiling. Your weight should balance on your toes and arms with your body in one straight line. For an easier modified version some personal trainers may allow you to lower your knees to the ground.

2. Superman

Lie on your stomach with your legs together and arms stretched out above your head straight. Lift arms and legs all up together, arching your back to bring them up. Hold for a few seconds and then lower to the ground and repeat.

3. Swimmers

Lay face down on the floor and raise opposite arm and leg up at the same time. Hold for a few seconds then lower and repeat with the other arm and leg. Keep your head in a comfortable position and don’t strain to raise it with your limbs. Personal trainers will often combine this movement with the superman pose.

4. Ab Twists

Stand up straight and hold your arms out at your sides. You can also do this one holding a large exercise ball in your arms in front of you. Twist from the waist, bringing one arm all the way over to meet the other arm (second arm doesn’t move) and then rotate back in the other direction. If using a ball, simply twist it side to side with the movement coming from the waist. Your hips should remain stable throughout the movement.

5. Ball Crunches

You can do standard crunches on the floor, but it is a lot safer and more comfortable to perform them on an exercise ball. Lay across the ball to perform regular crunches with hands on your temples so that your don’t pull on your  neck. Focus on working your ab muscles.

6. Unstable Motions

Here’s a trick that personal trainers use but which most people never think of doing. You can build up strength in your core while strengthening other areas of the body if you stand on an unstable surface while doing it. For instance, you can do bicep curls with dumbbells while standing on a Bosu ball or push-ups with one arm up on a higher surface. These movements put your body off center and your core muscles will have to work to keep you stable.

These exercises should get you started toward your personal fitness goals, but there are many secrets of personal training that can only be discovered by working with a personal trainer. If you want to see real changes in your body in as little time as possible, consult with one of our top personal trainers at our private personal training gym in NYC for more info.
