Make Sure It Works, Not Hurts

Make Sure It Works, Not Hurts

   A client that works with one of our trainers talked to her about a class she's taking. It's an old-school class that consists of repetitive workouts and static holds (An example would be doing a leg lift exercise for a minute or more). The client feels it's making a difference, but it's hurting her in the process. 

   The client has rheumatoid arthritis, and those types of workouts are heavy on the joints which causes pain in the affected areas. Can it be an effective exercise for some, yes. But, you shouldn't be doing those exercises if you're hurting yourself in the process.

   The amazing thing about working out is that there are multitudes of ways to exercise a specific or set of muscles. If there is an exercise that you are unhappy with or are hurting from, change it. 

   There is a way that you can make a difference in your body without causing pain. If you can't think of one, personal trainers are around to assist you.

   Our trainer sat the client down and was frank with her. "You only have those joints", she warned, "Be happy with replacing them, or choose a different exercise that works for you". 

   Clients need to understand that these are serious issues that can cause massive pain, which decreases their chances of being able to keep healthy in the future. Please, think about your body and make sure it's the right workout for you.

You Don't Need A Trainer Do You?

You Don't Need A Trainer Do You?: Man Training Woman
Found on Ethno Gym

   With all of the free workout videos on YouTube and advise from virtual communities, you don't need a personal trainer! Unfortunately, that's wrong.

   There are a plethora of things in this world that you'd want to have an expert there to do. Today I had a plumber come in to fix my shower. Could I have bought the same machines that he used and tried to unclog the pipe? Sure, but that would take more money and time than it would for this plumber to come in and do it for me.
