Personal Trainer: Do you really need one?

Exercise is any movement that makes your muscles work and also allows your body to burn calories. Some examples of physical activity are swimming, biking, jogging, and also dancing. We all know how important exercise is in our everyday lives, but we may not understand why or what it can do for us.

It's important to note that we emerged from ancestors who spent their days wandering around in search of food and shelter, sometimes traveling long distances. Our bodies are engineered and developed to be involved on a regular basis.

We are drawn to move very similar to a sports car which is designed to go fast. If the sports car is driven once a week for a 3-mile round trip through a town center, it will almost certainly experience engine problems.

People, too, develop issues over time if they sit at a desk or in front of the television all day and get no exercise.
