How do you choose with so many Personal Trainers in Chicago?

Choosing a Chicago personal trainer can be a challenge.  When searching online for a personal trainer, you'll come
across dozens of web sites promoting personal fitness training.  However most of these sites are simply promoting
their services without offering quality information on health and fitness.  Our web site along with just a handful of other
Chicago personal Training sites, offers in depth information for all of Chicago and America to reference back too.  A
personal training web site of true quality also adds and updates content on regular basis.

Also, look for a personal trainer who has relationships with other allied health and fitness professionals, and offers
references to other organizations related to health and fitness.  A true professional personal trainer maintains a
network of colleagues who are willing to work and reference to one another.  We trust that you will find all of these fine
qualities within our personal training web site, and that you'll base your decision on choosing a personal trainer in
Chicago off of these guidelines.  We look forward to working with you on achieving your goals.

Defining Basic Fitness - A complete and
well-rounded exercise program includes the
following training methods:



Strength Training.
Utilization of the anaerobic energy system,
(Muscular),  through various methods of
resistance training to improve bone density,
muscular structure, and metabolic rate.

Cardio Conditioning.
The use of aerobic energy systems in order
to improve VO2 uptake, (Oxygen), and
maximize the functions of the heart, blood,
and the respiratory system.

Flexibility Training.
Improving range of motion and prevention
of injuries through a variety of stretching
and elongating muscular fibers.

Balance & Stability Training.
Improving the maintenance of equilibrium
while stationary or during movement.


How often should you exercise weekly?
In order to maintain general health, The
American College of Sports Medicine
recommends a minimum of 20 minutes of
physical activity at least three days a week.  
This can be brisk walking or jogging,
cycling, exercise videos, dancing, basket
ball, or even  gardening.  Perhaps even
visiting your local health club for a quick
circuit on the weight machines, working on
a treadmill or elliptical trainer, taking an
aerobic or yoga class, or a few laps around
the pool.

Of course to achieve a more optimal level
of fitness, you'll benefit better by exercising
30-90 minutes daily.  Follow a structured,
well designed, progressive exercise
program geared towards your personal
goals.
