Personal Trainer A Better Source Of Fitness Knowledge Than Dvds

The world today is obsessed with having a healthy body and a pleasing personality. People opt for all sorts of options for maintaining fitness like going to a gym, hiring a personal trainer, dieting and abstinence from certain fattening foods. Though such methods are not proven to be successful in fortifying your health, they have become a rage amongst the youth of today, as everyone is in a mad race to look good and better than the people around them. What people do not realize is that due to this competition to look good, they are adopting wrong methods of weight loss or muscle development which will harm their body in the long run.

However, taking advantage of the craze for fitness, the market today is flooded with several bogus equipments, dietary supplements, diet courses, exercise regimes and exercise DVDs. There are various equipments like bench press equipment, ab-builders, tummy flatteners, sauna equipment, home-gyms etc which have flooded the market. These products are just taking advantage of the innocent and obsessed consumer and selling them worthless products with tall promises of health maintenance. Models and personal trainers who have been working out for years to develop their wonderful body will appear in television commercials and attribute their success to the product they endorse and brag about its wonderful effects and why you should order the same as soon as possible. However, these products are far from reality and millions of people around the world have not realized the fallacy of these tall claims by such fraudulent companies.

But the most fraudulent of such products are undoubtedly the exercise DVDs. These DVDs claim that by watching various personal trainers on your television screen and emulating their exercises, we can develop a body as toned as sculpted as their own. However, there is little truth in these claims. Exercise is not a simple activity; it is a science and has various aspects to be taken care of for your body to actually gain any advantage due to exercising. Improper usage of exercising techniques can lead to damage to the muscles and ligaments of our body in varying nature. This fact is mentioned in the DVDs but their focus is always on emphasizing how important and useful their product is.

So, you must be thinking how personal trainers are better than these DVD packages? Well the simple answer to this lies in the fact that the trainer will give you personal attention during your exercise. You may easily imitate the exercises shown in the DVD, but every human body has different ailments and some exercises may prove to be harmful for some humans with certain specific problems. In this case, the DVD cannot advise you a modification in the exercise while a real person will not only warn you about the aftereffects of the exercise but also suggest changes in a way which will not be harmful to the body.

Another aspect of these exercise DVDs is that you do not know if the exercises demonstrated, are actually of any good use. Generally, the personal trainers in gyms and health clubs are certified experts in exercise and have years of experience in the health industry. However, such data about the people who make these DVDs is not available. The customer can never know if the makers of the DVD are actually certified experts and know what they are doing.

In essence, it is for the betterment of your lives that you should make the active choice of not buying these worthless exercise DVDs. Real people and personal trainers shall give your body the expertise that these DVDs shall never achieve. Opt for the best and rely only on certified fitness instructors who can give your personal attention.
