The struggle is very real, people.
Anyone who is out there trying to slim down, or improve their health, knows it is an uphill battle.
Remember how easy it was to coast, to eat whatever you wanted, drink anything you pleased, and lounge on the couch for hours on end? Eventually it all catches up with you, and as you age your metabolism changes. Now you can’t coast, because you are going downhill too fast, and you need to work harder just to stay the same weight. I recommend using a personal trainer, and before you jump to conclusions about what that means, hear me out. If you don’t go to the gym very often, you may have an outdated image of a personal trainer in your head. These days, especially since COVID sent us all into a tailspin, there are more diverse kinds of personal trainers than ever before. Beyond personal training, there are online physical therapy and rehabilitation experts out there for people with special health needs. Since so many gyms were closed down during the pandemic, a lot of personal trainers took their experience and set up consulting businesses. Now it is very easy to have a Facetime or a Zoom chat with a personal trainer, who can customize a health and wellness plan based on your lifestyle and your needs. For anyone out there wanting to get healthier but not wanting to go to the gym, try consulting with an online personal trainer just to see what they say. It may not help, but it certainly couldn’t hurt.
