if you're not bright enough to notice, the "secret" is science based and rarely they'll tell you that you should change you exercise routine every 30 days. if they teach you this they'll be out of job very soon.

What are you talking about? I have been working with the same personal trainer 4xs a week for the past 18months. My routine is extremely varied and I could do the routine myself BUT the trainer pushes me much farther than I would push myself. He makes me do things I thought I could never accomplish (and probably could not on my own).

My trainer is focused on switching up the routine, any trainer who does not would bore their clients to death and would never see results. Either you have never been to a trainer or had a horrible one. Having a PT will get you in amazing shape. What do you think celebrities do to look awesome? Trainers and a militant diet.

OP-Stop reading the lost 10lbs quick articles in SHAPE magazine. Once you hit a certain age, you must exercise and be so strict with your diet. I'm in the shape of my life, but eating is BORING. I hardly have room to budge with my diet. I eat very little bread, pasta, or sweets. I eat lean protiens, veggies, and fruit. Lentils and beans are my friends. It is not fun. When you hit your 30s (or that was at least my case) and after a few kids, it was so painful to look the way I want. I'm in great shape, and I have to watch my diet very closely in order to keep that layer of flab off, so my muscles shine through.

I will tell you OP, it TRULY is 80% diet, 20% exercise. If you lose the weight, focus on shaping your body. There is no easy fix. Exercise is easy, eating well for middle age is hard!

I was typing from my phone and it didn't went well.

I'm a personal trainer and what I meant to say is that we tell our clients just as much as we want them to know. Depending on the client's goal they need to know a little more or a little less.

Changing the routine is very important to shed those last 10 pounds but the trainer will do it without you noticing it most of the times (not always, depend on what kind of client you are).

That's what I meant to say. Sorry I was obviously not clear enough.

Is this still a phone problem? As someone who sees a trainer how could I not notice a routine change? Hmmm, 20 mile bike ride one day on the W&OD, pure free weights the next, suicides and stairs, boxing another, and studio work another. Of which ALL exercises are written down, weight, # of reps, type of exercise and then posted online for me to review and change as we determine together.

Not every trainer has to trick their clients into comming back, those who get results and push their clients in a methodical, planned manner have a book full of loyal clients who pay top dollar for a top trainer.

it's not tricking in the bad sense of the word. and the coming back factor depends not only on the trainer but also on the kind of client.

anyway I'll stop before it gets worse lol
