What Coaching Adds
A program design is a list of
exercises put together to complete a specific workout goal. For example there
are endurance programs and strength programs or programs for a stay at home mom
and programs for a professional athlete. There are so many different types of
programs, and they are everywhere. Most health clubs or gyms set members up
with a general program design based on your gender, age, and goals. You can go
online and find numerous programs for anything and everything. Magazines print
program designs of famous performance coaches and athletes. Most likely
everyone who works out has come across a program design and almost everyone has
used one to work out. They are like workout skeletons or a tool you can use.
You have the ability to customize it to you and you get to choose what
exercises you want and don’t want to do. The problem is in doing this you are
relying on your own knowledge base of exercise physiology. Most of us don’t
have a vast background and education in this field. That’s where a performance
coach comes in. By having a performance coach to help you work out, you now
have access to their knowledge base. They build a program that is especially
for you. It’s a workout that fits you like a glove. They know how to make your
form, speed, and reps best fit what you want and keeps you from getting hurt.
For example you might have an elbow injury and can’t do curls. They know other
exercises that use the same muscles, but don’t strain your elbow, that you many
have never knew before. Basically a
performance coach adds levels of exercise education, efficiency, and safety to
your workout.
Sincerely T
Not the best choice in exercise for lower body strength. Why did this trainer choose this exercise and where does this fall in our progressions? I hope this trainer has a good answer and does understand that you can't create force very well on a BOSU ball. Is this a good choice maybe maybe not.
