The Benefits Of Training Partners By: Iain Smith | - I have always thought it was strange that most people training to look better do it in a completely different way from people that train to perform better. Most Glasgow personal trainers advertise the fact that they offer one to one training like this is the best option for training. There are some situations where one to one tuition is required. Music lessons and driving lessons spring to mind but there are many more where one to one attention may be much less effective than group training. ...

New Year Weight Loss Do's And Don'ts By: Iain Smith | - A lot of people make new years resolutions to lose weight and get in shape, in fact losing weight is the most common New Year's resolution of all. It beats out stopping smoking, drinking less, saving more money and spending more time with your family. Losing weight is also the New Years resolution that most people fail to keep and it is by this time of year that most people have stopped trying. This is nearly always down to the fact that people fixate on the what, and don't focus on the how. ... Tags:Glasgow personal trainer, Glasgow gyms, Glasgow fitness
Five Must Have "supplements" For Fat Loss By: Iain Smith | - Working as a Glasgow personal trainer I often get asked questions about what supplements are best for fat loss. People have a misconception about supplements. They tend to think that they are something you can take instead of doing something else. A supplement is something added to complete a thing; it won't have any effect on its own. If you consume more calories than you use fat loss supplements are useless, you need a state of energy deficit (more calories used than consumed). The idea t ...

Selecting Rep Ranges In The Gym By: Iain Smith | - Most people that lift weights slog away doing the same old repetition (rep) ranges that they have been doing for years without stopping to think about exactly why they train the way they do. I have seen Glasgow personal trainers who continue to prescribe the same old 10 reps per set sessions without any thought as to why they are doing it. The organisation of a good training programme is quite complicated so here is a general overview or how to choose a rep range that suits your goals.

Most coaches have fears, worries, or anxiety about something. In fact, I'm not sure I know any coaches who don't. It's pretty normal, when you really care about something greatly, to have concerns or worries about it. However there is one softball coaching fear in particular that I see get in the way of good coaching time after time. Can you guess what it is? It's the fear of what others will think about you.

How Many Sets Should You Do? By: Iain Smith | - I have previously discussed factors to consider when deciding what rep range to use in your training. This week we will look at how many sets you should be doing. It is essential to not fall into the same trap a lot of other Glasgow personal trainers do by just having clients do 3 sets on each exercise before moving on. Just as with rep ranges, set numbers are tied to your goals so more thought is required to get the best session and the best results. More sets per exercise means greater vol ...

Eating For A Healthy Lifestyle By: Iain Smith | - When someone decides to lose weight they think they should go on a "diet", but with hundreds to choose how do you decide? I would not bother trying because the only factor that all good diet plans share is the need for moderate energy deficit. This means to lose weight you have to eat fewer calories than you expend. Without energy deficit you will not lose weight so all your efforts should go to achieving moderate energy deficit. Working as a Glasgow personal trainer one of the biggest chall ...

How Long Should You Rest Between Sets? By: Iain Smith | - In previous articles I have shown you how to select rep ranges and set numbers based on your training goals. There is another key variable that we have to cover and that is how long to rest between sets. It is important that as a Glasgow personal trainer I plan rest periods and make sure my clients stick to them. It is all too easy to get caught up in entertaining conversations with clients between sets and end up resting far too long.
Five Great Exercises For Men By: Iain Smith | - The general awareness of what constitutes good exercise selection is low. One of my challenges as a Glasgow personal trainer is to convince new guys in my gym that there are better options than curls and lateral dumbbell raise. Here are 5 great exercises that guys should use to get their bodies ready to be put on public display.
The first exercise all guys should be doing is deadlift. It works the low back, glutes, hamstrings, the upper back and shoulders making it great for ... Tags:Glasgow personal trainer, Glasgow gyms, Glasgow fitness
Five Great Exercises For Women By: Iain Smith | - Trying to convince women that lifting weights is one of the fastest and more effective ways of training to get the body they want can be quite challenging for me as a Glasgow personal trainer. It can take quite a bit of reassuring that they won't end up looking like a female body builder just by picking up a weight. Explaining how an increase in lean body mass will help reduce both excess body fat and inches always seems to help.

Food Addiction By: Iain Smith | - The vast majority of people who train do so to lose weight, and diet is easily the most important part of the process. When giving nutritional advice as a Glasgow personal trainer the thing I hear all the time is "Oh but I could not live without bread, wine, cheese, chocolate, crisps, biscuits etc". This is the first sign of food addiction and is seen before you even try to give up the problem food. Regularly using particular food to cheer you up or calm you down also indicates possible addic ... Tags:Glasgow personal trainer, Glasgow gyms, Glasgow fitness
Fine Tuning Exercise Order For Optimum Effect By: Iain Smith | - In previous articles I have discussed how the best training plan for effective fat loss to do resistance circuits based around non competing movement patterns.

Here, the basic plan involves one set of a quality multi-joint leg exercise immediately followed by a upper body pull movement, then ... Tags:Glasgow personal trainer, Glasgow gyms, Glasgow fitness

Traditionally, the holidays are a time for family. So what better time to take a step back and re-evaluate your priorities than during this time when things usually slow down a bit? Especially when it comes to being a parent/coach. Most people who coach start out for the right reasons. Usually a team their daughter is on needs a coach, the coach has some knowledge and wants to give back to the game, and the parents wants to spend more quality time with his/her daughter. Somewh ...

Carbohydrates And How They Make You Fat By: Iain Smith | - Diet is the most important aspect of your weight loss plan. It is not enough to achieve calorie deficit (more energy expended than consumed). You have to be aware of how different foods affect your body and this is one of the areas I spend a lot of time as a personal trainer in Glasgow. A lot is made of the fact that carbohydrates only contain 4 calories per gram, as does protein, but fats contain 9 calories per gram. As a result fat is often singled out as the main villain you fight when you ... Tags:Glasgow personal trainer, Glasgow gyms, Glasgow fitness
Dietary Self Control By: Iain Smith | - Perhaps the toughest obstacle I have to overcome as a Glasgow personal trainer is getting clients to open up to the idea of changing their diet. As soon as people manage to change their diet they start losing weight and seeing positive results provides momentum that keeps people going. The most important step is always the first one, so how do you take it? How many times have you watched a parent in a supermarket giving in to a child who just would not stop nagging for sweets? How many times ... Tags:Glasgow personal trainer, Glasgow gyms, Glasgow fitness, Glasgow weight loss
Ultra Abbreviated Training By: Iain Smith | - People often blame a lack of time for not training. For the most part these people are just making excuses to justify their laziness because if you want to train you can find the time. For those that really are busy but are still determined to train ultra abbreviated training is the answer. Working as a Glasgow personal trainer I often have to squeeze a quick session in for myself between training groups for clients. In these situations ultra abbreviated training sessions are always the answ ... Tags:Glasgow personal trainer, Glasgow gyms, Glasgow fitness
Intermittent Fasting By: Iain Smith | - How would you like to lose weight without doing anything? This is an offer I make to all my Glasgow personal training clients. They jump at it, so would anyone else but as you know, anything that sounds too good to be true probably is, so what is the catch?
The truth is with intermittent fasting there really isn't one as it is much easier to do than it first seems. To lose weight with intermittent fasting you don't change your healthy eating habits at all except for one or two ... Tags:Glasgow personal trainer, Glasgow gyms, Glasgow fitness, Glasgow weight loss
Muscle Confusion By: Iain Smith | - A phrase that often gets thrown around by Glasgow personal trainers is "muscle confusion".

Building Muscle With Feast And Famine Feeding By: Iain Smith | - Most diet plans are based around losing weight, but what should you do if you want to build muscle? Building muscle is probably the second most common request I get as a Glasgow personal trainer after weight loss. Conventional wisdom is to over eat for many weeks while weight training to bulk up before strictly dieting to strip away fat. Unfortunately long term over eating adds lots of fat and under eating costs you lots of muscle so you end up taking 2 steps forward and 2 steps back. A bett ...

The Magic Of Simplicity By: Iain Smith | - Albert Einstein said that everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler. Now he wasn't a Glasgow personal trainer but this philosophy is as true for training program design and nutritional advice as it is for theoretical physics.

The more complicated something is the more likely it is to break down and not work. The mos ... Tags:Glasgow personal trainer, Glasgow gyms, Glasgow fitness
Who Should You Believe? By: Iain Smith | - When looking for good training advice knowing who to ignore is as important as whom to listen to. Just because a Glasgow personal trainer charges 50 pounds an hour there is no guarantee that they give high quality advice. Corporate gyms are based around finding and retaining members and not providing results. Their in house training courses used to "educate" their staff tend to be fad based so their instructors will be well informed about current gimmicks but not about scientific underpinning ...

Your Own Worst Enemy By: Iain Smith | - Losing weight is so much easier than you think, but getting clients to understand this is perhaps the most difficult thing I face as a Glasgow personal trainer. All you need to do is stop making excuses about why you are not losing weight.

There is only one obstacle to weight loss that cannot be overcome and it is this: "I'm not losin ... Tags:Glasgow personal trainer, Glasgow gyms, Glasgow fitness, glasgow weight loss

Things I Hear In The Gym By: Iain Smith | - Through my years as a Glasgow personal trainer I have come to realise that generally speaking most people are their own biggest obstacle to reaching their training goals.

Why? Motivations For Weight Loss By: Iain Smith | - The most important word when trying to lose weight is "why". Everything starts with "why" and "why" will usually determine success or failure. Until I get to the bottom of why my Glasgow personal training clients are trying to lose weight it can be hard to motivate them. Once I know the thing that will drive them to succeed it is easy to keep coming back to it and keep my clients working hard. If you don't really care about your reason for losing weight then it is unlikely to motivate you to ... Tags:Glasgow personal trainer, Glasgow gyms, Glasgow fitness, Glasgow weight loss
The Difference Between Eating And Feeding By: Iain Smith | - If you are struggling to change your dietary habits it can help to distinguish between eating and feeding. Making this distinction and being aware of when you are doing one or the other is a good way to rationally look at why you are consuming food. This distinction is not something that comes naturally to many of my Glasgow personal training clients. This is important because the consumption of food and drink is not always a rational act. The harder you find it to establish good dietary hab ... Tags:Glasgow personal trainer, Glasgow gyms, Glasgow fitness

Simple Changes, Faster Results By: Iain Smith | - A big misconception about weight loss is that it requires total upheaval to your way of life but nothing could be further from the truth. As a Glasgow personal trainer getting clients to make a few minor adjustments to their diet can be all that is needed to make a noticeable impact on their waistline. A mistake people make is thinking that they can out train a bad diet but this is simply not possible. Around 80% of the success you get when losing weight comes from changes to your diet, not y ...

Avoiding Training Injuries By: Iain Smith | - Everyone knows that they should warm up but not everyone does it, mostly because it is kind of boring. Working as a Glasgow personal trainer rule one in my gym is "don't get hurt". I would suggest it is better to suffer the boredom of a 10 minute warm up rather than a 10 week minimum rehabilitation of a major muscle tear. A bit of light cardio like skipping for 5 minutes followed by another 5 minutes of active bodyweight circuits is enough to dramatically cut the risk of injury.
