Obviously an individual's motivation or readiness for change is an important factor. The most important aspect however is knowing your body.
From here henceforth we will share step by step motivational procedures that keep us going.
As a trainer, I would say that physiccal testing and evaluation is key when stepping into the world of training for the first time or after illness, child-birth and injury.
You may frown all you like, but fitness testing and evaluation equips you, as a beginner, with information related to your current level of physical fitness. The more knowledge you possess the better position you are in to begin and maintain a safe and effective program and thus achieving great results!
The purpose may be any or all of the following:
1. To assess your fitness levels in relation to age and sex
2. To aid in the development of a safe and effective exercise program
3. To identify areas of health risks and consulting with an appropriate
health proffessional
4. To establish goals and provide motivation
5. To evaluate progress
Assessment measures the following components
Cardio respiratory efficiency: both at rest and during exercise
Muscular strength an endurance
Flexibility: both joint and muscle
Body composition:fat mass and lean body mass
The level of physical testing depends on the physical demands of an individual's optimal
lifestyle:
1. Desire to achieve competitive athletic fitness level
2. The ability to confront unforseen emergencies
3. Desire to live a healthy lifestyle that supports ones daily activities.
To evaluate a training program's effectiveness over time a re-assessment should be performed.
