    My trainer posted this on her Facebook page. I thought some of the points were great for everyone, not just the "super fit" so I thought I would share...

    5. They tune everything out when they work out
    Focus. They know that anything you give your undivided attention to works out better. Being in tune with your body allows them to make tweaks, and know which tweaks to make.

    I would love to underscore that one. Most of the people I see with personal trainers seem to be paying for friendship or gossip time then actually sweating. I guess if they have the cash and enjoy it's all good but it's annoying when they take up a lot of space and are not actually doing in real work.

    I just saw this! In weights class this morning. Ladies running around the room socializing instead of working out. And I thought "What are they here for?" I catch up with my friends before/after class.

    Thanks for the post!

    I agree with an earlier response about the importance of #7.

    Since joining mfp and logging in my calories daily,....I can easily look back and see a pattern,......when I prepare my food ahead of time and have a plan I stick to my daily goals.

    On weekends especially, when its less structured, I do not have a pattern of sticking to my goals and either over eat or eat the wrong things.

    Preparing for the day with snacks and meals is really key to being successful

    I disagree with this.. My trainer is a chatter.. He told me from day one he thinks that makes the session go by faster and I agree. My trainer before him was also a chatter... and my trainer before him was a brick wall and it was creepy.

    I don't pay for him to be my friend.. I pay for him to kick my butt. Chatting and getting to know one another are just perks that come along with the relationship.
