Bob:”You look really fit and toned! How do you do it? I can’t seem to improve much at the health club?"
Andy: "What’s your routine like?"
Bob: "I usually spend 30 minutes on the treadmill or stationary bike for the cardio, and then I lift weight for about 20 minutes."
Andy: "And how often do you go?"
Bob: "I want to go at least 3 times a week, but I usually workout twice only because of my work."
Andy: "Did an instructor give you a weekly schedule?”
Bob: “Yes, I’m supposed to work on legs and forearms too, but I didn’t enjoy that and I got a little sore afterwards.”
Andy: "How long have you been lifting weights?"
Bob: "For a year and a half but I don’t have much muscle definition."
Andy: “Maybe you’ve been working out on the same machines for too long, and you are pretty used to them. You need to vary your routine”
Bob:”I know. It’s only that I hate going to the gym really.”
Andy: “Have you thought about getting a personal trainer? You could sign up for a few sessions to help you set up a good regimen.”
Bob:”Isn’t that supposed to be very expensive?”
Andy:”It could be. Another option to see better results is to train more often, like every other day."
Bob: "That's a lot. I don't think I have the discipline for that."
Andy: "Just think of it as a hobby. It's actually fun when you start seeing results."
Bob:”Thanks for the advice. I’ll definitely look into that.”
