Both Olivia and I have noticed a problem that's been popping up
in the fitness industry, more so of late. And that is the issue of
injecting women into workouts or training programs that include
high-intensity interval training, or high-intensity resistance
training, without a foundation of aerobic fitness.
We see it all the time. While the responsibility falls on the
trainer, part of this can also be blamed on the way the fitness
industry has set up expectations.
Many clients enter our training partnership with the preconceived
idea that the trainer's (Gym) job is to make them sweaty, exhausted
and feel 'as if they've done something hard'.
The trainer then feels pressure to meet this expectation out of
fear of losing the client if they don't give them what they want
and expect.
It's a vicious cycle that keeps both the client and trainer stuck
in an inefficient (and potentially harmful) way of being. It's a
lose-lose situation.
When a fitness professional keeps prescribing high-intensity
activity without first establishing a solid foundation of movement
and capacity, it limits the client's potential.
This is why both of us put a lot of attention on building a solid
base of aerobic conditioning when building out programs (regardless
of the goal).
Tune in to hear us talk about:
1. Why skipping aerobic conditioning is problematic
2. Our definition of aerobic conditioning
3. The big difference between developing fitness and just 'doing' fitness
4. How to build this into your programming
It's juicy so get ready to take notes!!
