I’m not claiming anyone should invest in a personal trainer. You’re putting words in my mouth. I’m just saying that things aren’t as easy or as simple as people describe due to a lack of basic body awareness and knowledge that comes with exercise. For example when I first started I developed severe back soreness the next day, to the point where I worried I had severely injured myself. Google was obviously unhelpful here, as “lower back sore exercise injury or not” is full of SEO spam. It was only when I got to speak with other friends who weightlifted more regularly that it was determined to be probably just soreness from not stretching.
With a form, if you are going to claim that everyone must start with personal trainer to correct their crunches or squats form, pretty much no one will start exercising anymore. That is just going to be too expensive and time consuming. And among people I know who regularly exercise, none of them started with a trainer.
