Introduction:

Planning a your health and fitness journey can be a daunting task, but with the right approach, it can also be an incredibly rewarding experience. In this guide, I will walk you through the steps you need to take to plan your health and fitness journey, from setting a budget to choosing the perfect personal trainer, and selecting the ideal approach. With our comprehensive guide, you'll be well on your way to creating the body of your dreams.

Section 1: Setting a Budget

121 Personal Training does not come cheap, but it can be a rewarding and educating experience and lesson if done correctly, so do some research on the average session/rate in your area, for example in the ruislip/pinner area sessions begin from £40 and go up to £50/session. Set aside a long-term budget for the cost of three months at the bare minimum.

Setting a budget will sometimes require sacrifice, maybe you should delay that 1-week vacation in order to focus on yourself, cut down on the night-outs with the guys or gals, cut down on the booze, restaurants and takeaways, as you'll probably need to anyway.

Section 2: Selecting a Personal Trainer

I touch on this briefly in my previous post "Unlock The Secrets To Staying Motivated". As a Personal Trainer myself, I believe it is part of my job to keep my clients motivated. So you should feel motivated by your Personal Trainer, so have a trial session with a few in your area, and pick the one which gives you the best feeling.

A mistake people make is picking a Personal Trainer at face value, without getting to know them truly. Some trainers look amazing, but that does not mean they are great trainers or motivators. Here are some qualities and things to look for in a Personal Trainer:

• Energetic and easy-going
• Knowledgeable and happy to explain things
• What is their schedule like
• Experience and qualifications
• Cancellation policies
• What types of clients do they usually work with
• What equipment and facilities do they use

Section 3: Selecting your Goal

Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself what do you want to look like, 99/100 people have the same vision; a lean body, visible abdominals, chiseled jaw-line, toned lower body, a pleasantly curvy looking set of buttocks. However, everybody is at a different stage and it may take somebody three months to get there, and another person three years.

Take this step by step, Firstly, have bite-size short term goals to begin with, for example, "I want to lose 4kgs within the next 2 months", most people would want to lose double or triple that in the timeframe, but the truth is slow and steady wins the race in this journey. If you overload your body with too much change in too little time, it will be easier to revert back to your previous shape/state.

Secondly, have a realistic long-term goal, for example "I want to lose 12kgs by end of the year" (this post was written in February). This sets a vision in your mind which you won't stop thinking about, therefore you will take the steps to become that vision in your mind.

Section 4: There will be setbacks

There are zero things in life which are perfect, this journey included. There will be days where you are tired, and feel like giving up and everybody has those days, as mentioned earlier your body does not like change and wants to revert back to its original 'comfortable' state.

It's important to look back to the long-term goal, and remember why you started and where you want to finish. Here are some common setbacks people experience in their health and fitness journey:

• Unexplained minor niggles/injuries
• Work schedule changes
• An illness
• Losing motivation
• Post-holiday comeback

All of these setbacks have one thing in common: they are temporary, learn to accept and make peace with them, it happens! Focus on how you will adjust and adapt, and what you will do next.
