People pay for cures much more readily than they will pay for prevention.

Have you noticed that people don’t like to pay for prevention? However, those same people will pay just about anything for a cure.

As a personal trainer I hear this when it comes to people’s fitness and wellness. I don’t get a prospective client come to me stating, “I’m here because I want to keep from getting fat.” They come to me after the fact and are now willing to pay anything for the cure to being overfat – and for the host of other ailments that come along with being overfat.

My advice to you is to develop a fitness prevention plan. Meeting with a professional personal trainer is a good start. A qualified personal trainer will help you develop that game plan for prevention (or for fitness as a cure if you’re already overfat or have physical weakness or imbalances).

The trainer will start out with a consultation which may include a health history questionnaire and a physical evaluation to see what your current fitness level is. Your trainer then can help you with a plan of action to either prevent physical ailments or overcome the ones you may have accrued now.

Remember, a failure to plan is a plan for failure.
