You don’t grow in the gym; you grow in recovery. You also get faster, leaner and stronger whilst you recover, so it is perfectly reasonable to prioritise recovery in a training program. And recovery doesn’t mean simply drinking a protein shake, it means rest, and there is no better way to rest than to sleep.
There is no doubt that becoming a personal trainer can change someone’s life forever. By being a mentor, personal trainers develop a deep connection with clients, helping them reach their physical goals and becoming healthier in the process.

As a health and fitness professional, it is vital that you are prepared for any eventuality when working with your clients. Whether you are in the gym, running the city streets or performing jumping jacks in the local park, you just never know what could happen at any given moment. Accidents can and do occur. Should someone fall and fracture their leg, or collapse with the symptoms of a heart attack, an ambulance should, of course, be called.
Alcohol can reduce the health benefits of exercise, affect performance and recovery. Our body is always going through muscle protein synthesis by either building new proteins or breaking down proteins for muscle repair. With resistance exercise we stimulate muscle protein synthesis, which causes our body to repair and super compensate so we gain muscle.
Wendy Suzuki, a Professor of Neural Science and Psychology in the Center for Neural Science at New York University, once said in a TED talk in reference to exercise that “Simply moving your body, has immediate, long-lasting and protective benefits for your brain”.
