Personal Training

80 days to go to the 2nd Asia Fitness Convention, once again held in Bangkok, Thailand. This year’s event - AFC 2010 - takes place from September 17th to 19th, 2010 in Bangkok at the world class Bangkok Convention Centre @ Centara Grand. My honest opinion is that even if you’re a ‘fitness junkie’, you’re going to really love this convention, so this is not only for Fitness Professionals - but for the serious fitness enthusiasts as well.

I’ve already signed up for this year - and this 2010, we’re going to see the favourites from last year come back - we’ve got Douglas Brooks, Peter Twist, Steve Cotter, The American Council on Exercise, Fraser Quelch (TRX), Jim Stoppani (Muscle and Fitness) and many others.

For the full list of presenters and details on the Convention, head over to the official website:

In response to Tuesday’s Blog Post “Having an Unproductive Workout?“, I’ve decided that due to popular request, it is only appropriate that today, I give you my Number #1 secret to having a productive workout.

I’m here to tell you that you CAN see great results with efficient 1 hour workouts or even less - whether it’s weight loss or to build a physique like a greek god. Anyone who tells you otherwise probably doesn’t have a clue on what he or she is doing. Take for example the personal trainer at your gym who only spends 1 hour with his/her clients, but when they do their own workouts - it sometimes goes up to 2 hours each. Are you being cheated? Well no - it’s just that they probably have no clue on what they’re doing themselves. But - we’ll save that story for another day before this post becomes a long-winded rant. So I’ve just got ONE secret to share with you - and actually, it’s not much of a secret at all.

I was having a brief chat with Malaysian radio legend Shazmin Shamsuddin just yesterday, sharing with her on how working with a Personal Trainer to help you with your fitness goals can actually turn out to be a life-changing experience (and not torture sessions like some people believe it to be).

A personal trainer can not only impact a client physically via exercise, but also the client’s behaviour, daily lifestyle decisions, and even mindset.

At times, a great trainer would not only be able to directly impact his/her client, but even indirectly alter the habits of those who are in contact with that client - for example the family, best friend, and colleagues of the client.

I don’t know about you, but that’s powerful stuff - and totally rewrites what many people think the roles of a Personal Trainer are.

Whoever you may be - accomplished CEO, busy executive, housewife, teenager or athlete, working with a Personal Trainer can help you improve your ‘game’ - the word game here not only referring to a physical sport, but also your work, studies, and fitness goals.

On a lighter note and in an attempt to illustrate my point, here are…

I’ve got a confession to make. I’ve had this habit for years… and I don’t think it’s a nice thing to do. But I love to peep… peep into the shopping trolleys and baskets of other shoppers at the grocery store. :-) [click to continue...]
