The nice thing about personal training programs is that you can
always talk to your trainer about getting into an alternative program to
do aerobic exercise or even weight lifting for that matter. There are
many other ways you can slim down or bulk up, and they can be just as
effective as traditional fitness workouts.
Pilates
Although commonly associated with women's fitness, Pilates can be just as effective for men. It can also serve as both cardio and strength building because you would have to carry your own weight. This is also one type of alternative workout that would benefit from having a personal trainer as some of the positions you have to achieve can lead to bodily injury if not performed correctly.
Pilates was invented by Joseph Pilates in Germany and requires the use of a Pilates ball.
Yoga
This is a lot similar to Pilates in the sense that it requires people to contort their bodies into seemingly difficult or awkward positions. In fact, there is also a fitness program called yogilates which combines teachings and exercises promoted by both yoga and Pilates.
This type of fitness program requires the use of a yoga or exercise mat.
Boxing
For those looking for an alternative workout that's undeniably designed for men's fitness, you may want to give boxing a try. Don't worry, though. There will be no actual physical contact involved. Mostly, you will be trained to perform the same moves that get boxers a knockout win in the ring. This type of workout program hones mostly upper body strength, which is why it should go well if it is partnered with the other alternative workout program listed below.
Kick boxing
You can very well consider this as a complementary partner to boxing as it is designed to hone lower body strength - something that is unfortunately ignored in the above type of sparring sessions. Again, you are not to worry because you do not actually have to go against anyone to train for kick boxing.
Both boxing and kick boxing can also be used for women's fitness programs. You just have to talk to your trainer about it.
Martial arts
As you are probably aware of, there are various types of martial arts and it can also work as a fitness program. Take the time to explore your options and learn, for instance, what makes martial arts styles like taekwondo, aikido, and judo different from each other.
Keep in mind that all of the alternative programs listed here require your personal trainer to be certified as well for providing professional instruction about them. This is especially important as professional training can further ensure that you do not come into accidental harm while working out on your alternative fitness program.
