One of the first questions people ask when starting a new training regimen, diet, or wellness program is how long it will take for the results to begin showing. However, the question is not always easy to answer. Every individual is different, so you may see your results sooner or later than someone else. In general, results from a training regimen will be noticeable in about two weeks. Often, the first noticeable improvements involve better posture and muscle gain. It’s important to remember, though, that this is a theoretical generalization that does not apply to everyone. Many factors impact your workout as well as your results, so there is a lot of wiggle room when it comes to how long you’ll have to wait to see a change in your body. How to Speed Up Results Even though you want to see changes as soon as possible, any Chappaqua personal trainer will warn you of the dangers of weight loss that is too rapid. Many people decide to cut calories to speed up their resu...

There comes a time - often when you see someone else doing it - that you think “I could do that!” You are watching someone who is maybe a little (or a lot) overweight, and they are out there running a marathon or taking an active part in a spin class. The leaders have left them for dust, they are struggling, but they are there putting one foot in front of the other, and you think 'well if they can do it...' and your decision to take it to the next level just happened. But how do you go about it? It depends on what you need to do. If you're looking to get stronger overall, you might think about stepping out of the box a little and considering one of the martial arts. A martial arts personal trainer in New York will explain how martial arts is a great preparation for almost every other sport.  Think of the sudden explosive movements so common to all the arts - does that remind anyone about the burst of energy to get you out of the blocks on race day? Another th...

You don’t need to have the six-pack look to have a strong chest. But even if you don’t want the look, there are still a lot of advantages to having a strong chest. The truth is you really can’t have a strong chest without having a generally strong upper body. But there’s a huge benefit to having both. One of the things a strong chest will give you is better posture, and posture is one of the basics of health and fitness. We have all seen people with bad posture slouching around, and in this day of permanent computer use, it is hard to sit up or stand up straight. But with a strong chest it is so much easier to have good posture. It’s actually a self-fulfilling prophesy: if you have a strong chest you will stand up straighter. Chappaqua personal trainers   will help you remember that strengthening the chest without also working on the back could leave you bending forward. Balance is essential. A trainer will give you a series of balanced exercises which will help you...

Taking the steps it takes to fully participate in a marathon is one of the most challenging things that you might ever do. Running a marathon and completing it takes an unparalleled amount of motivation, dedication, and more importantly, endurance. A marathon is less about how fast you can run, but more about how far you can go. You might be the fastest runner on earth but you still might not be able to run a marathon. There are some very specific training methods that work to prepare individuals for running a marathon that are conceptually simple, but physically demanding. When you go about training and preparing for the run, you should focus solely on increasing your stamina. Endurance is key in running a marathon and if you aren’t able to keep a steady pace as you run, you might find the monumental task of running a marathon almost impossible. You should first begin with a standard amount of miles and plan to run them at once without stopping every day. At this point, you...

If you want to start exercising in the most effective and time efficient way imaginable, you should look into hiring a personal trainer to help keep you on track. However, there are many things that you should take into consideration before you just go out and hire a personal trainer. You should take into account the personality and the methodology that the personal trainer practices and if it is going to be compatible with your workout plan, your personality, as well as providing you with an overall positive attitude that makes you want to come back and exercise the next day. When you choose a personal trainer, keep in mind that exercising close to where you live can be very advantageous. By scheduling workouts for early mornings or after the evening commute, rather than taking time out from work, you’re much more likely to stick to the routine. Exercising during the workday is too often interrupted by emergency meetings or rush deadlines. Trainers will often come to a loc...

Most often, people exercise to lose weight and it seems that most work out plans are based around weight loss and not weight gain. If you have been working to pack on muscle mass or are looking to reach a certain weight goal to qualify for a sporting event, you may be in need of some extra help to get you gaining weight the right way. When you work to gain weight, you need to pair anaerobic exercise and regular large meals together and fit them into your daily routine. The easiest way to gain muscle mass is through weight training. Muscle tissue grows by first being broken down through anaerobic exercise and building itself back, bigger than before. As muscle tissue rebuilds itself, it draws nutrients from the food that you eat throughout the day. You should be sure to incorporate plenty of fats and protein in your diet. Protein is especially the most preferable nutrient for building muscle mass. The best time to consume proteins is after your workout. This way most of the ...
