Anyone tried a personal trainer?

I see that there is a lady who runs buggy fit also does personal training. Hubby is happy to spend the money as long my figure goes below size 14 again as now bouncing between 18-20 and smallish frame with small boobs. I have an awful figure my boobs are flat but my tummy sticks out like a 5 month pregy lady.

I can no longer find clothes....this is no good!!!

Surely everyone has different needs hence would a personal trainer be able to help me out and start the ball rolling with this terrible body.

I used to be one, once upon a time.
I'd pay for it, if they were any good.

The great thing is that they should be able to keep you moving through a workout programme and do all the thinking bits so you get more done in less time.
You cut out the ....hmm i wonder what weight i should be lifting, hmmm, what did i do last time, now did i just do 10 or 11 reps, ah crap i can't remember, i think i'll go for a shower.
I used to fit in a good passive stretch for my clients too, which is such a treat.

If the money is there, i'd do it.

I used a personal trainer from Feb this year, when I was a size 14, until mid August and am now a size 8-10, having lost 2.5 stone.

It really worked for me, as I had someone helping me both with the sort of foods I should be eating, the type and amount of exercise I had to do and a weekly weigh in - all were hugely motivating. I "only" wanted to get to a size 12, but found that with all the toning that happened as a result of the exercise, I got to a size 10 relatively easily and now a size 8 in a number of outfits.

Although the trainer obviously cost money, I found I also saved money by eating less, drinking less and not having so many food related treats. Although the overall expenditure has increased,due to having to buy a whole new wardrobe - but hey, that is a great problem to have :-)

Go for it, you won't regret it.
