Philadelphia Personal Trainer makes posture assessment critical component of fitness assessment

Each year millions of people embark on a journey in a Philadelphia Personal Trainer program to help with weight loss, muscle building, or overall enhanced wellness. Philadelphia personal training is a great way to get in the best shape of your life with the help of a certified professional. The value is tremendous.

Over the years the vast majority of trainers usually offer traditional resistance training programming to their clients. Which is a critical component in a weight loss program. To burn the maximum amount of calories per day you need to maximize the amount of muscle mass you have. That goes for men and women. Aerobics alone will not do it. In fact, weight lifting alone will offer the results you seek as opposed to a aerobic only training program.

What most traditional trainers do not address is human movement and posture. What does this mean? Suppose you are ready to go, hire a trainer and start working out but notice that your ability to perform an exercise is not ideal and the trainer simply substitutes another one for you.
Postural distortion is something that each and every trainer should be aware of. If a client has poor static posture (rounded shoulders, or excess forward lean) this will effect their ability to perform a squat correctly and it will also affect their ability to do over head movements correctly.
Posture is one thing that is commonly over looked.

You can't simply just put anyone through a traditional resistance training program without first addressing poor posture. Not everyone has poor posture, but most people have muscle imbalances which cause the poor posture.

As your Philadelphia Personal Trainer, I am nationally certified by 3 posture specialty organizations, NASM, which stands for National Academy of Sports Medicine, Functional Movement Screen Systems and The National Posture Institute.
I am also certified by NASM as a Corrective Exercise Specialist which means I am trained to correct these imbalances or postural issues before proceeding to a traditional resistance training program.

Posture is very critical and to not address it prior to just resistance training is a mistake. It is simply building a home on a poor foundation and wondering why, later, the foundation is faulty.
The body must be aligned correctly, with both a static and dynamic posture test.

If you want to achieve the ultimately weight loss and get your body fine tuned, start the right way, with a posture analysis, corrective exercise then gradually move to more traditional training.
