I always said that if I ever won the lottery, among other things, I would enlist the services of a personal trainer and a nutritionist. I mean who wouldn’t? If you like working out, but you never seem to see the results you’d like from doing it yourself, why not get a little professional to help?
While I haven’t won the lottery yet, I did get a personal trainer and a nutritionist, sort of. I’ve signed up for this service through menshealth.com that acts as your personal trainer and nutritionist. It created a customized full body workout for me and laid out meal plans for everyday of the week. The greatest thing about it is that if you don’t like something on the meal plan, you can just substitute it for something else. There are tons of options to choose from. Also it requires you to enter in how much weight you lifted during the workout, and then over time it will use that information to change up your workout according to how strong you get.
While I know some people believe that something like this is a waste of money, I think if I really work hard at this, it will work out surprising well. Also it’s only costing me $2 and some change a week so it’s not really that big of an investment. If I see some serious results like I think I will, I’ll be sure to post some before and after photos.
If you’re interested about what the workouts/meal plans look like, please feel free to shoot me an email. Menshealth.com seems to encourage sharing.
