A training plan is a way to plan physical activity in such a way as to adjust the level of exercise and frequency of exercise to individual needs. The exercise schedule is a solution not only for people trying to keep fit or sculpt their figure. An appropriate training plan is also important for the health of people struggling with overweight or obesity.
Training plan – why is it worth it?
A properly prepared training plan is the basis for every person who wants to exercise. Arranging a physical activity schedule yourself is possible, but it can be difficult for a beginner. Personal trainers are responsible for creating special training plans, often combined with an individually adjusted diet. This form of work on physical fitness is so effective that it increases motivation and helps to maintain regularity of training.
Scheduling training sessions allows you to select exercises and activities that will allow you to achieve a specific effect. A different system will work when working on muscle mass, a different one for cardio trainingand yet another, when the goal is to significantly reduce body fat. Not only are the types of exercises important, but also the number of series, repetitions, and frequency of exercise. Following the rules established by an experienced training planner reduces the risk of injury and reduces the effectiveness of exercise.
Training plan – for whom?
Training plans can be adapted both to the needs of a beginner and the requirements of someone practicing sports professionally. They can be divided into several types, each targeting a different outcome:
- training plan for sculpture;
- training plan for reduction;
- muscle training plan.
In the case of overweight and obesity, regular training should be combined with a balanced diet established by a dietitian. Not all exercises are effective in significantly reducing body fat. The key to avoiding the yo-yo effect is strict adherence to dietary restrictions and the training plan.
Working on the general condition, body shape and muscle strength is possible thanks to circuit training. It consists in training individual parts of the body, and the sequence of exercises may be an important issue. It is a form of general development training that can be performed at home and in the gym. People interested mainly in increasing muscle mass will also find a suitable training plan for themselves.
It is possible to combine different solutions from the individual exercise programs. You should be careful, because lack of proper knowledge can lead to injury. Ready training plans can also be agreed with a physiotherapist – it is a safe option for people after injuries.
Pros and cons of the training plan
Taking care of the good physical condition of the body is a very important aspect of caring for its health, especially taking into account the sedentary lifestyle of a significant part of the society. A training plan prepared with the head or by a specialist should be safe for people who do not have contraindications to specific types of exercises. Individual types of training plans differ in the load on individual muscle groups. A certain downside in the case of intense workouts are long periods of regeneration, so you should maintain their appropriate frequency.
When establishing a training plan, the competences of the personal trainer who creates this training plan should be verified.
