Most fitness professionals have the same goal in mind when coaching exercise. Get people off the couch and get them moving more!
The whole fitness industry has been assumed to be a very simple institution of basic levels of knowledge. Move people more, burn more calories and follow up with a healthy diet.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t make as many assumptions about any industry now.
The world is filled with an overflow of expert advice. I tend to follow functional advice, meaning advice historically achieves set goals and maintains success. Follow advice from someone that walks the talk and can reference well and communicate clearly.
Look for credible letters after a name, success stories and treat your fitness trainer like a Doctor or lawyer. Hold them in high esteem and expect expert advice.
Let’s dive into my best advice for exercise Pro’s and Con’s:
How many times in the past have you have been flicking channels on the television and you came across poor reception. How is it that one channel is perfect and others can be fuzzy?
Maybe your aerial is misplaced, and you aren’t able to take in the necessary information to produce a clear picture.
I want to use this analogy to describe the 6 channels in the human body.
The statement “LEAN for life” may conjure up all sorts of thoughts and emotions with how you see yourself now. Be honest as to what the first thoughts were when you read that statement.
Was it positive?
Do you really think you are in control of that funky looking bio-meat suit that seems to never do as it is told?
