1 YEAR AS A PERSONAL TRAINER!!

What can I say,

When starting out as a personal trainer, I knew 2 things, 1, how hard it was going to be, and 2, what I wanted to get out of it.

I knew it was going to be hard because I’ve never been self employed before so I knew challenges would come with that, and if I want something done I had no one to rely on so it was down to me to achieve what I wanted

So what did I want?

Community, was at the top of my list when I started out because the gym, as everyone knows, is a scary place at first, and when you don’t know anyone, it’s even harder to start, so making people comfortable and getting them talking to people who are in the same boat as them was very important to me 🙌🏻

Being open and honest, PT gets a bad name and people sometimes look at us and think we are scary, but I promise you, we are human and we also had to start somewhere, I’ve been rock bottom and the gym brought the best out of me and I have/wanted to feed that on to my clients when they join me so they know that I can relate to them 💪🏻

Sharing my knowledge and changing mindsets, I knew it would come to a point where clients would no longer need my service, but I wouldn’t want their journey to end there. So I wanted to make sure that when a client is ready to move on they leave me knowing exactly what to do so they don’t have to worry anymore, in regards to mindset, I hear people saying that they can’t do something when they are literally doing what they say they can’t do, and it always baffles me, when you put that doubt in your mind you will never achieve anything, so I wanted clients leaving me with a change of mindset also. 🧠

So, with my first year wrapped up, I must say, I couldn’t be more proud of myself with how far AGPT has come, I’m so proud of my past and current clients, they truly have made my life easy with the work they put in! 💪🏻❤️

TEAM SOCIALS 🙌🏻👫

Bringing people from all different backgrounds and building a community was one of the big things I wanted to achieve when becoming a PT 🙌🏻

We’ve done pen y fan, a 5k charity run and now been out for a team meal, a shame not all my clients could make it but hopefully for the next event they can 🙏🏻

Making new friends and building relationships inside and out of the gym to help them all build their confidence and improve their mental health 🧠

These team events also help the team to talk about their wins since starting with me and to encourage one another to keep going 💪🏻

If you want to join the team and community which I am building, get in touch now and start your journey today 🙌🏻🙏🏻

💡THURSDAY THOUGHTS💡
HOW DO I JUGGLE GOING TO THE GYM WHILE ALSO HAVING A SOCIAL LIFE?? 💭

“I can’t go out for a meal because I won’t know the calories or macros” 🗣️

*Friend messages asking you to go out just as you were about to go to the gym* “I can catch up next week, I’ll go out” 🗣️

Have you said any of these things? Have a read below on how you can change them ⬇️

When start getting into a routine at the gym and with your nutrition, it’s very easy for you to worry that one little blip in the cycle will send you back to the start of you journey.

But that is not true!!

I’ve been there myself, I was scared to socialise incase I consumed too many calories or drunk too much beer. But I promise you, 1 day of enjoying yourself isn’t going to ruin your gains.

But if you are still concerned that 1 day will ruin your gains, then here’s some tips I picked up along the way to help me.

Firstly, BANKING CALORIES. This was a massive change I made. Banking calories means over the course of a week, save some of your daily calories ready for the weekend if you know you are going out. For example, if you are on 2000 calories a day over a 7 day period, try and bank 100 out of the 6 days so then on the Saturday you have an extra 600 calories, incase you need them. 💪🏻

Again, still be mindful of what you are eating but also do be worried to have a cheeky dessert after your meal 😉

Secondly, LEARN TO SAY NO!! This was something I massively used to struggle with. But if you have plans to go to the gym and a mate has messaged you to go out, see if they can either do something after your session, or otherwise, rearrange.

If you start swapping the gym for nights out with your mate, it’s going to difficult to stay in a routine. And you’ll get used to not going to the gym. Which results in you having to start your fitness journey again.

Finally, SPEAK 🗣️, by this I mean speak to the waiter/waitress at the restaurant if you are that worried about calories in a meal.

In most places these days, the calories are stated on the menu, but if they are not, there is no harm in asking a member of staff from the restaurant if they can find out for you.

WHAT IS THE BEST WORKOUT SPLIT FOR ME?? 💭

In my last Thursday thoughts we looked at how to double up on muscle groups to fit them all into a week 🙌🏻

Today, we will look at Workout splits, or in other words, what exercises should we do each day.

When it comes to sorting a workout split for yourself, there are many factors that could come into play to why you may not be able to train, for example ⬇️

* Work
* Social life
* Family (child care)

So, some people may only be able to train twice a week where others can train 5/6, everyone is different, but we can still find ways to get our exercise in so we hit all of the muscle groups. 💪🏻

For someone with less time on their hands, the best way to get as many muscle groups worked in a session would be doing something called FULL BODY. 🏋️‍♂️

A FULL BODY session includes, if you haven’t already worked it out, workouts which target muscles groups all over the body.

So, if you were aimed for a typical 5 exercise workout regime, you could include back, chest, glutes, hamstrings, abs, for one day, and then biceps, triceps, shoulders, quads and calf’s for a second workout

Now, for someone with a bit more time, you can break your muscle groups up in to different ways, for example ⬇️

If you are able to train 3 days a week I recommend either - Upper day, Lower day, and Full body day
Or
Chest+Back, Arms (shoulders, biceps + triceps), legs and AB’s

For 4 days a week, I recommend either - Upper day, Lower day, Full body, Full body
Or
Upper day x2, Lower day x2

For 5/6 days a week, I would recommend -

5 day split - Chest+Triceps, Back+Biceps, Legs+abs, Arms, Chest+Back

6 days split - Chest+Back, Arms (shoulders, biceps + triceps), legs and AB’s - then repeat

🌟CLIENT SUCCESS🌟

This is my client Dan.

He has reached the 12 week mark with me and what a transformation he has made 🙌🏻

He works from home and is sat at a desk for the majority of the day. His main goal when joining me was to improve his general fitness while also build some muscle.

I’ll just let the result speak for itself!! 💪🏻

The change he has made has not just helped him physically but also mentally. 🧠

And it’s not just what he has done in the gym, but also outside with his nutrition switch up and daily habit’s implemented 🚶‍♂️🍗

We move in to the 4th month now where we are looking to up his cardio and change some exercises to keep his gym experience less repetitive 💪🏻

💡THURSDAY THOUGHTS💡
There are so many muscle groups but only 7 days in a week, what can I do?? 💭

If you were to break down all the muscle groups you would typically train in the gym, you would have

* Chest
* Back
* Shoulders
* Biceps
* Triceps
* Abs
* Quads
* Hamstrings
* Glutes
* Calf’s

That is a lot of muscle groups!!!

So how can we fit all of that in to a week?

Well firstly, let’s think about our rest days.

We need to give our body time to rest and recover from exercise so our muscles can perform to the same standard every time, if not better.

So you would normally look at getting 2-3 rest days in a week for a beginner, but for someone more advanced 1-2

No we are stuck with 5 days left of the week and have 10 muscle groups to target.

Lets pair some up shall we.

So,

Chest/shoulders/triceps - these three muscle groups are usually trained together as they are pushing movements.

Back/biceps - these muscle two groups are usually trained together as they are pulling movements

Legs/abs - this is something I usually do and many others, just so the abs can get done in the week.
