Supervised Workouts Improve Results
New research supports the benifit of hiring a qualified personal trainer to help you attain your fitness goals. Twenty men ages 18 to 35 were placed on a 12 week resistnce training program.
Half the group trained unsupervised and maintaied their own workout logs. The other half recieved one-on-one supervision with a certified personal trainer. In addtion to keeping track of their workouts and charting their progress, the trainers provided spotting and advice to participants and made sure training loads were increased progressively. Unsupervised participants made to their programs using the same principles and were self-motivated. Both groups achieved significant strength gains; however, the supervised group also made significant improvements in body mass, fat mass and fat free mass. Researchers suggest thet the trainer encourged participants to use and tolerate greater training loads, thus eliciting greater gains than those who self-selected their training loads.
