Can people make their own fitness plans, or should they seek professional guidance?
I recommend a few sessions with a certified personal trainer: It’s the best investment you can make for a healthy and appropriate exercise program. People often fail because they don’t have a plan, but a trainer can give you a safe, manageable, personalized routine that fits into your lifestyle, goals and preferences. You can then continue to work out on your own with periodic checkups to ensure proper technique and form, as well as to adjust the amount of weight and number of reps and sets you do. Also, the trainer will be able to provide fresh ideas to update your existing routine.
