Following some recent research, I have been thinking about the way we approach fitness training.There is some evidence that there are 2 modes in the body and we need to activate both for the best output. There is the short time, high intensity work and then the long, slow output.The problem is, when we train with people, we don’t focus on these, we fall onto the middle ground. It’s easy. We don’t need to work hard, we don’t need to push the client. But then they don’t improve, they get disheartened and our reputation isn’t enhanced.

Instead of taking them for a jog around the park, change it up. Make them sweat, push them hard. Use the primal patterns, look at complex movements if they are capable of them. And if they’re not, get them ready.

And then guide them to being more active every day (the long slow stuff). Help them change their diet so they eat clean.

They will see changes and you will enhance your reputation too!
