Last night on ABC’s Bachelorette, DeAnna Pappas, trimmed some much needed fat by essentially eliminating 10 bachelors from the show last night.  One of which was a quote – unquote “personal trainer” from New York.

I was sitting on the couch , laptop on my lap, submitting another article to an online article directory when my wife Andrea says, “look this guy is a personal trainer”.  Of course this got my attention.

The episode ends in this way: (excerpt from the ABC Bachelorette website)

“Greg is upset that she didn’t find him as attractive as the next guy, and proclaims that he is a “f-ing rebellious bastard.” He rips his shirt off, revealing all his tattoos to show DeAnna “what she’s missing.” He howls at the moon as inside, DeAnna toasts “Opa!” with the remaining Bachelors.”

This guy gave the impression that he cares about one thing…himself.  Now he may have a 4 year college degree and a nationally accredited certification for all I know.  More likely it was a cool way to meet women and, hey, his workouts made him buff soooo – take an online test, order some business cards and bam – I’m a personal trainer!

If you find yourself in need of a fitness professional (which you won’t if you join www.homeofficeworkouts.com) there are certain things you want to be aware of when you are interviewing possible candidates.

1. If they talk more about themselves and their “qualifications” than ask you questions about you and your goals, history, limitations, schedule etc. – WALK AWAY.
2. If they speak about how flexible their schedule is…take pause.  A good trainer will be busy.
3. Ask for referrals – the kind you can speak with and ask questions from.
4. Most referrals give great recomendations.  Ask specific questions about their trainer regarding punctuality, professionalism, etc.
5. Ask people you trust who hired a personal trainer what they like most about that trainers services.

A true professional trainer will ALWAYS have your best interest in mind and focus on discovering any and all obstacles that could derail you from losing weight and getting in shape from home.

• Accountibility
• Consistency
• Quicker results in less time
• Saving you time
• Knowledge of the body and how it reacts to exercise
• Saving you money in the long run
• Education

These are some but not all of the attributes and deliverables from a professional trainer for $60 - $100+ per session .  So too will www.homeofficeworkouts.com for a fraction of the cost (less that a cuppa coffee per day).

Be Strong.
