As a medical oncologist for the Central Care Cancer Center, Dr. Mark Fesen currently practices in Wichita and Great Bend, Kansas. During his free time, Dr. Mark Fesen stays fit by exercising with his personal trainer.
Although hiring a personal trainer may seem intimidating at first, the experience can ultimately push you to take your exercise to the next level. Here are three of the most common benefits to hiring a personal trainer.
1. Setting precise goals - Many people exercise with only a loose goal in mind, like “lose 20 pounds” or even simply “get in better shape.” A personal trainer will help you transform your general goal into more detailed ones by examining your current fitness level and desired results through the lens of their experience. What’s more, a trainer will help motivate you to see those goals through to the end.
2. Fixing form and technique - If you exercise without a trainer, you have no way of knowing what you are doing wrong and how you could improve. A personal trainer will examine your movements and correct your technique, thus helping you get the most from each exercise session while also helping to prevent injury.
3. Adjusting for medical conditions - While exercise can help mitigate the effects of health issues like heart disease and diabetes, exercising with such conditions requires special considerations. An experienced and knowledgeable trainer who has specific experience working with people who share your condition can help you stick to your fitness goals without putting your health at risk.
