The 6 key steps for looking good, feeling good, and building stamina are:

1. Good Cardiovascular Exercises
2. Good Nutrition/Diet
3. Good Fluid Intake
4. A relaxed atmosphere, In that the mind must be healthy before the body can react. The old saying is healthy body healthy mind, but it works both ways.
5. Good Flexibility is very important for the recovery time of over training and injured muscle tissue.
6. You can then start to hit the weights.

Hitting the weights

Basically you can hit the weight but not before learning
the proper techniques and posture with light weights example 2Kg.
The body is all about balance and if your technique is wrong you will put the body out of alignment causing muscle-skeletal discomfort.

There are many types of personal training for example

1. Body Building programes
2. Sports Specific Programmes, in that you would not use the same programme to a golfer as you would a Rugby player.
3. Flexability programmes
4. Rehabilitation programmes
5. Structural Alignment Techniques SAT. This is a program i devised myself specifically for Actors , Dancers, Performing Artists and for people who are geuinnelly interested in good health. For i have found that poor posture accounts for over 80% of all (no induced injuries) Musclur skelatal Disorders
6. Econcentric, Concentric and /

My two favourite of training Structural Alignment Technique excersises, Pilates, Body Pump which i also teach.

The Hardest thing to obtain is working out and relaxing at the same time, but if you can come out
of a gym after doing a good workout and say that you are relaxed, well then you are well on your
way to obtaining your goal.
