Personal Training Smarts!

There are more people these days who work out in gyms and health clubs to keep fit and have a healthier lifestyle. Unfortunately, not all gyms maintain high standards of cleanliness and hygiene. There are gyms that do not have the basic amenities, supplies and equipment needed to maintain cleanliness for the people who are using their facilities. Aside from checking the various personal training courses being offered when looking for a gym to join, you should also check out the facilities if they are up to your own standards of cleanliness and hygiene.

One of the main reasons why people join gyms is to be fitter and be more healthy, but all these will go to waste if the gym you join ends up being the reason for your contracting an illness or disease due to poor sanitation. There are several things that you can do to help maintain your gym’s cleanliness. One of these is to wear the proper workout attire and footwear. All members must be responsible enough to follow the gym’s rules and guidelines when it comes to the allowed dress code inside the workout areas. Various types of fitness courses also prescribe a certain kind of outfit, and it is best to ask your trainer or instructor about the required workout wardrobe. Also, as much as possible, always bring your own towels. Though gyms usually provide towels for rent, you can never be sure about the cleanliness of these towels as numerous people have already used them before you. It is still cleaner and safer to bring and use your own towels during your workout.

Remember to bring your own water whenever you go the gym. Hydration is very important during exercise, and though most gyms have their own water dispensers, you can never be sure if their water supply is clean and tested free of bacteria and other organisms. It should also be part of the gym’s maintenance or facilities personnel’s duties to regularly clean and disinfect the gym equipment and exercise areas. If you notice any defects or in their equipment and machines, report these at once so that they can be repaired or replaced immediately. Safety belts and locks must be inspected regularly so that they can be checked for signs of wear and tear.

Do not go to the gym when you feel like you may be coming down with some sort of sickness so as to prevent this from spreading to others who will be working out and make your own condition worsen. If while in the gym you notice that anybody might be sick, advise them to consult with the doctor or nurse on-site immediately. Remember, whatever you do, safety is still of utmost importance. Check if your gym has a health and fitness certification from the proper authorities so that you are ensured of working out in a clean and safe environment.

In Australia, personal trainers choose to be registered in highly accredited fitness registration bodies all over the country. Some of these registration bodies are Fitness Australia, Australian Institute of Personal Trainers and Kinect Australia. In fact, around 60% of these personal trainers are already registered and have personal trainer certification. To be able to register, a personal trainer will need to have a Certificate IV and an industry approved first-aid certificate. A personal trainer may also need continuing education in his field to be able to keep his registration for two years. Although some personal trainers do not register anymore, they can still be as experienced as a registered personal trainer. However, if you want to play it safe and to be sure, hiring a registered personal trainer is the best way to go.

Personal trainers must apply for indemnity insurance and public liability. This is because they are dealing on a regular basis with a client’s health and body, and there is always the risk of injury during training. But for those who are registered with Fitness Australia, Kinect Australia and who has AIPT fitness certification, they can access their insurances through these registration bodies. Additionally, personal trainers who have studied human movement or sports science degree at a university are eligible to register as certified personal trainers. However, do not think that any sports degree major can be easily accepted as a certified personal trainer. These individuals will also undergo a series of test that they should pass to be able to be called a certified personal trainer. In the end, everyone’s goal is to get a Certificate IV whether it specializes in children, young adults, adults, or older adults, although you may find a personal trainer that specializes in more than one area which is a big advantage in this field of fitness.

In this Video Aliesa George will share how to properly sit down and do it well… The aim is to help you reduce knee pain and strengthen your hips and legs.

During many daily life activities we can practice our Pilates exercise principles, and execute our movements with proper muscle action. In fact one of the great benefits of Pilates training is learning how to use the body well and transfer what we do during our exercise workouts back to our everyday tasks, to reinforce our good new wellness habits.

So heres todays question Do You Squat or Plop when you sit down?

By my definition squatting is using the muscles of the hips and legs to control your bodys rate of decent when sitting down in a chair, on the couch, or even the toilet! And plopping means that you might have started with control, but at some point gravity wins and youre basically falling out of control until your butt lands on the surface you intended.

I kind of messed up my knee a few weeks ago took a hard fall on my inline skates, and its had me hobbling around a bit, and working on retraining and re-strengthening all the muscles around my knee especially my glutes, quadriceps and hamstrings. AND it got me thinking about the concept of Squatting versus Plopping, since I found myself doing the latter to avoid using the muscles around my knee. Use this poor plopping habit long enough and it becomes accepted as THE way to sit which is definitely NOT what I want to happen.

So heres a rundown of what I believe the ploppers of the world need to practice to switch that not-so-good muscle habit to the improved technique of squatting to sit, and do it well:

As you sit plant your feet firmly and be sure that you have equal weight on both legs.
Think about the muscles on the back of the thigh (the hamstrings) doing the work to bend the knees. The sitz bones should reach towards your heels, which will lower your hips and butt to sit.
Be sure that the knees stay lined up over the toes to reduce strain on the joints while they are moving.
If you tuck the pelvis as you sit, there is actually more stress and pressure placed on the knees. Be sure to keep a neutral pelvis position which means the tailbone is poked out behind you a bit and the lower back is in its normal arched position.

Keep the lower abdominal muscles lifting up and your body is going down to help support and control the lowering action. Occasionally spot check your technique and body control. At different points along the way from standing to sitting, you should be able to stop and hold your position if you are using your leg muscles with good control.

Its every bit as important to pay attention to the muscles you are using to stand back up too! If you only think about straightening your knees to stand, the quadriceps muscles along the front of the thighs will do most of the work, and this places a lot more stress on the knees.
So here are a few tips to get you back on your feet to a good standing position:
** Plant your feet firmly and be sure the weight is evenly distributed on both legs, with the knees staying lined up over the toes.

** Connect the sole of your feet to the floor, then contract the muscles of your butt to extend the thighs bringing them from a parallel seated position to vertical standing position.

** Keep the abdominals lifting in and up while you are lifting the whole body up. Tighter is lighter.

** The quadriceps muscles along the front of the thighs assist to straighten the knees as you rise.

Im sure you have lots of great opportunities throughout the day to practice good squatting technique! Even if youre not a snowboard fanatic! And the better your technique, the stronger your body will be, and the less risk of injury or chronic knee issues.

You should at least be able to squat comfortably to 90 degrees, or perhaps a bit lower than that. If you have knee issues, check with your doctor first, then start in a short range of motion, listen to your body, and progress slowly. Good technique shouldnt just happen when were exercising. Take that technique out of your exercise program and into your daily life activities.

Remember, our muscles only get stronger in the range of motion we are working in, and there are times in daily life where we need to actually do a full squat to get down to the floor. Its important that we are strong, and flexible enough to get down with good control, AND be able to easily get back up again! Check out more Pilates, Health, and Wellness resources on my website at
