Where Can I Find the Money For a Personal Trainer

Let’s pause for a minute and think of all the other things that we will spend our money on instead of our own bodies:

• Perhaps you’ve upgraded your perfectly fine box television for a sleek new flat screen.  Think of updating your back side with some sleek new curves. 
• Manicures, pedicures and facials are fantastic ways to make you feel more attractive.  It doesn’t get much more attractive than flaunting a healthy, fit body.
• Lottery tickets and casinos are, of course, a gamble.  For a sure thing, invest that money in your health and wellbeing.
• Seriously? Did you really need another (insert item here).  Example: pair of sandals, shoes, boots, video game, movie, etc.

Let’s go as far as to say a lot of people are more willing to spend their money on things that are actually bad for their bodies, as opposed to things that will help them out.  For example:

• Beer, wine, alcohol – Lots of empty calories here and exercise won’t give you a headache in the morning.
• Tanning beds - Nope, being darker does not make you healthier.  Sorry.
• Coffee – The extra fluff on your latte is also contributing to your extra fluff.
• Pop – Aspartame, phenyketonurics and other chemicals that you can’t pronounce.
• Diet “wonder” pills - Exercise and good nutrition will always be the best and safest way to lose weight.
• Girl Scout Cookies - Yep, these are definitely not helping your cause.
• Dinner out, again.  Tons of extra calories and fat (did I mention calories?)
• Energy drinks.  Nope, taurine is not considered a power food.
• Cigarettes – Really, do I need to explain this one? You are inhaling tar.
• Other drugs – If done correctly, personal training won’t land you in jail.

Most people would easily come up the money to buy a pill that promised a slim figure.   They do every day.  These dollars are wasted when the product doesn’t live up to the promise.   A much wiser investment would be to hire a trainer to educate you on how to work out, what to eat and how to treat your body to get the results you are looking for.  You will also get a better return on the investment you are already making for your gym membership by actually using the equipment correctly and most effectively.

Stop, think and spend wisely.
