Here are some questions you should know about your program.
QUESTIONS:
1) What are the four components to a succesful program?
2) What should your heart rate be while doing cardio and for how long should you
be doing cardio?
3) How much protein should you be getting in a day?
4) What is a carb and why should we eat them?
5) What is a protein and why should we eat them?
6) How much sleep should I get and what are 3 benifits to getting enough sleep?
If you don't know the answers ask your trainer or email me. These are important questions to know.
ANSWERES:
1) Weights or resistance training, Food, cardio, and sleep.
2) This is a calculation maximum heart rate and then is according to goal. A
little different for everyone. With wearing a heart rate monitor I was sure you
knew this one.
3) Again a little different for everyone. I like to use about 1 to 1 1/2 grams per
lb of lean body mass. We need to know your lean body mass to figure this one.
4) Carbs are different forms of sugars. They can be complex or simple. We can get
these from grains, pasta, startches, rice, oats, wheat, etc. We try to stay away
from these. Candy, cake, soda, any refined sugar or any sweets are carbs that we
should not consume. Fruits and vegetables are also carbs. These are the good
carbs. We want these. Carbohydrates give us energy and are the catolyst for all
bodily functions. Protein is the building material and carbs are the workers.
5) Protein is for the repair of our body after a workout. A post workout meal is
important within an hour for the repair of our muscles. Protein is the building
blocks for muscles, conective tissues, organs, brain function, and enzymes for
food metabolism.
6) We should sleep in between 7 hours and 15 minutes and 9 hours and 15 minutes.
This ensures R.E.M.(rapid eye movement). One,our brain gets rest here,
Second,our body releases growth hormone into the body here ( gives us full
benefit from our workout. The workout stimulates production of growth hormone
and we then release it in R.E.M.) Third it helps our immune system and who can
afford to or wants to be sick. There are other reasons that proper sleep is
important, stress is another. Mental clarity, coordination,etc.
I feel that these are things that all clients should know and we need to talk about more often. If you have any other question don't hesitate to ask.
Reaching out to as many people as I can about fitness and exercise to give them a better life. I believe I can do this by giving clarification to all the "media fitness". I want to create a healthier more fullfilling life for you and your family with fitness and exercise workout programs.

I disagree with the answer for #1... or think there's more to it. Those 4 are important, but goal setting and a positive attitude are really important components... and of course, Tom V's '5th element': having a personal trainer!
and for #6 - what if I only get 7 hours and 14 minutes?!?! LOL! :)
Yes you are correct. You could argue that there are hundreds of components to a program. I was meaning the four physical activities or actions. You set a goal and then these four activities get us to a goal. I am glad to hear you put these other components in there and this is why you will succeed. Mind/Body conection.
