10 Tips to get maximum benefit from your training sessions!

1. Stop talking and start working:  Although a little back and forth builds rapport and keeps things lively, a constant stream of small talk can be harmful - particuarly when you're both distracted from your efforts, timing, and form.
2. Show up 10 minutes early:  Complete your warm up before your training session starts.  This will allow the trainer to go right into the program they have ready for you.
3. Respect small breaks:  There is a reason why trainers keep breaks minimal.  They want your heart rate in a cardio zone to burn maximum calories in least amount of time.  Everything the trainer does has a purpose to it!
4. Develop better eating habits:  This will get you seeing results faster and you will perform so much better in your sessions.  I'm not saying to overwhelm yourself by going from eating horrible to perfect.  Start by using 80/20 rule (eat clean 80% of time and cheat 20% of time), also start with 5 smaller meals per day and drinking enough water to stay hydrated.  Try those tips for a few weeks and master them, then ask your trainer for a couple more healthy eating habits you can adopt.
5. Follow your program:  Most likely you will be seeing your trainer 2-4 times per week; so they will tell you what to do on the other days you are not with them.  There is a reason why you need to do those extra workouts; do not skip out on them! 
6. Be open minded:  Your trainer will show you new exercises on a regular basis; do not think you can't do it because if they have faith in you that you can then trust them.  They will modify if they see you can't complete proper form and position.  Have fun learning new exercises and new sequences! 
7. Trust your Trainer at LiveFit 7:  Your trainer has a college degree, national certification, and usually some specialty certifications with plenty of experience.  They are very focused on keeping you safe and making sure you are on the path to reaching your goals! 
8. Sleep Tight:  In order to recover your body from the day you must sleep 7-8 hours/night.  This is so important to your performance in each session and throughout your day.
9. Don't be shy:  Your trainer knows your strong points and weaknesses, but if you have a question or concern about anything make sure to talk to them about it.  This will keep you on the right track to succeed. 
10. 100% Effort in each workout:  If you really want to Transform your mind and body and change your life forever you must put some effort into your workouts.  More Effort = Faster Results!

I hope this helps you get maximum benefit from your training sessions!  Please feel free to comment if you have any questions!

Until next time, reach your PERSONAL BEST!
