In this Wuyue Square, there is a gym called Jieshi Fitness, which is also a national chain store. The activity is also vigorous. If you sign the bill, everyone can come to the door. The most attractive thing about this gym is a swimming pool with constant temperature all the year round. Swimming is a comprehensive fitness program. Considering that the child is going to primary school soon, it is also a good choice to take him swimming more. In addition, the number of exercises in the past two years has become less and less, and I feel that my physical condition is not as good as before, so I discussed with my wife and got a family card to prepare for the New Year.
At the end of March this year, I started my fitness journey. I have an appointment with a fitness consultant to open a card. The first thing to do when you arrive at the store is to take you for a physical examination. It was a little girl who helped me with my physical examination, and she was also a personal trainer here. Anyone who has gone to the gym for physical examination knows that physical examination is actually standing on the instrument to help you measure various indexes and parameters of your body. Then print out a table and your initial data will be established.
I thought it was over and I could start my own exercise. However, the little girl invited me to sit down at a small table and began to explain to me all the indicators and technical terms on this table. I come to the conclusion that my physical fitness is poor and my body fat rate is too high. In other words, I am too fat and should lose weight. My comprehensive score is very low, less than 70. I don't know how bad this score is. Anyway, in a word, I belong to sub-health and should exercise.
She is absolutely right. It's time for me to exercise. I'm here to exercise. However, one of her questions stumped me. She asked me how I was going to exercise, and before I could answer, she guessed what I wanted to say, which is what most people do when they go to the gym. They just run around and play with simple equipment, sweating all over. But we can't answer why we should exercise like this, and this method is right. Then there are all kinds of big truths, and I can't shake my head. The only thing that shook my head was the moment I saw the price list of private education. I finally understand why it is extravagant to ask private tutors.
The private lessons here are divided into many stages. I was asked to do a course of treatment as soon as they came up. One year's courses are 40 thousand to 50 thousand, which is almost catching up with my income for half a year, and I am not allowed to live. I shirked everything and people advised me to surrender. Finally, I asked their sales manager to give me the biggest discount. To put it bluntly, it is all a sales strategy, that is, selling classes. And I was a person who didn't like to refuse others since I was a child, and no one gave me any advice. I went alone, repeatedly, and surrendered. I think life needs more experience, and I must try something I haven't done before. So, I bought a small stage course as a life experience.
On the day I placed the order, I started my first private education class. The time is about one hour, five or six movements, and each movement has four groups. An hour later, I was exhausted. This kind of fatigue is completely different from running. This is a feeling of pain from head to toe. In fact, there are many tutorials about these movements on the Internet, but there is still a big gap between watching videos and personal guidance by real people. Many details will be pointed out to you in time and corrected in place. As long as you can't do it, someone will remind you immediately. And private education also plays a role in urging you. When you want to give up, someone behind you is pushing you until you insist on finishing.
Four or five days after returning home, my body reacted strongly, my arms were not straight, my buttocks, thighs and calves were sore, and it was very difficult to go down the stairs. I feel all the physiological reactions and experiences I should have. It shows that the effect of this one-hour private teaching class is very obvious. This also made me feel different about private education and gradually got some good feelings. Teacher Xiao Lai once said that paying is picking up cheap. There must be a reason why a good course is expensive. Spending money on other people's time is ultimately to save your own time.
I dressed for a few days and made an appointment for the second class. The content of the second lesson changed some movements, each movement has its own use, and it also reflects the situation of different parts of the body. There are several moves that I have to finish very hard, so I have to reduce the amount. After class, I talked to my personal trainer about my physical reaction, and the other person explained to me that it was a lack of professional stretching. In my impression, stretching is just some warm-up exercises I do before and after fitness. After listening to the private tutor, I learned for the first time that stretching can be divided into active stretching and passive stretching. The stretching class in the gym is a kind of passive stretching, which is more professional and has better effect, but it is not free, and it is also charged according to class hours.
In order to let me experience the stretching class, the personal trainer helped me sign up for a main class to offset a stretching class, so the first stretching class in my life began again. Sitting and pulling, sideways, lying down, I have never been pulled so much anyway, and I have experienced the feeling that one tendon is about to break. In ten words, stretching is painful and pulling is easy. This stretching can't be done by one person at home. You must have a companion.
After stretching class, I'm going to have a rest and take a bath, and the personal education is coming again. This time, she once again showed her professional ability and began to tell me the importance of stretching. The main course must be accompanied by a certain stretching class to get twice the result with half the effort. I also called the coach of the stretching class to tell me. I thought to myself, that's true, but I just lack money. After overcoming the inner contradiction, I finally refused their stretching class. My personal trainer has gradually learned about my situation and is willing to teach me some active stretching methods after class to help me exercise better. I am still very grateful to them for this.
By the weekend, I had finished three classes, including stretching class. The whole process is still clearly remembered and the harvest is full. These are all my personal experiences, and I have said so many feelings. To sum up, there are mainly the following points:
1, the payment is cheap, and private education can definitely help you improve your physical fitness. If you can, buy some private lessons, and persist in studying hard and learn the essentials of action, so you can practice alone in the future.
2. People should learn to refuse and not be pushed beyond their abilities. After all, private education is a kind of high consumption, and most people still can't afford it. If you can't afford it, you can change your method and find a fitness method that suits you.
3, money must have its value, it is difficult to insist on free things, such as fitness. You may insist on going to the gym for money, but lying at home is free, and you may not even want to move.
The last point is for all private teachers. Don't try to sell classes in order to complete the performance. Focus on doing your own job, teach students well, accumulate word of mouth for yourself with real people, and let everyone take the initiative to buy lessons from you instead of passively selling them.
Fitness, like writing, takes time to accumulate, and the Long March has just begun. I want to prove my choice with time. If you want to go to the gym, find a personal trainer. I hope this article will give you some inspiration and help you find the most suitable fitness path.
