I decided to get myself a personal trainer and have a fitness assesment scheduled for wed.what should i expect

i know i will have to deal with calipers don't know where she will pinch or what other tests i'll undergo. is there anything i can do to prepare?
Answer:
Just buy some Advil to eat after the fact, cause your body is going to hurt really bad after the work out your trainer will make you under go. You will be sore for a day or two.Don't get scared. The trainer needs to know in what physical condition you are in. So, he/she will take your weight, height, age, measure your waist line, calculate BMI. Show you the equipment in a gym. Explain you how to use and what schedule to follow based on your day/eve/weekend schedule.
They would also talk about nutrition, some do's and don't before and after your workout. Some of them will even do a workout with you. One very important thing, find out whether the trainer is certified and how much experience he/she has. Take referals and make phone calls to his/her customers and find out.
You want someone with whom you will be comfortable with.All in all have fun.

It will be a very light run through of different exercises to assess your strength and form. Be prepared to explain to her exactly what your goals are so she can tailor a regimine that fits it. Just wear something your going to be comfortable in.Have a light meal 1-2 hours before you go just to give you enough energy. A small apple and a piece of lean protein, perhaps chicken breast or white fish.It should be an enjoyable experience, her job is to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Also, if you have any questions about diet or "myths" about diet and exercise (like eating after a certain time) this would be a good time to ask away! Ask about foods, sleep, meal timing etc.

Most trainers don't use calipers anymore. They have a machine that you stand on (similar to a scale) that will measure your percentage of body fat. You have to take off your shoes before stepping onto the device. They will also be taking your measurements. Then, you will probably go through a 10 minute cardio warm-up and a basic resistance training workout. They end it with a sales pitch to try and get you to buy their personal training services. I recommend getting some bodybuilding magazines and designing your own wokout routine and fitness goals. If you're a self-motivated person, you will be saving yourself a great deal of cash.
