Massive changes in your body will happen if you are training in a proper manner.
For instance, i was doing a one off session with someone yesterday and this person claimed she always did fit ball/swiss ball group classes and was also a regular a pilates classes.
Since a lot of my sessions are now focused on balance and stability work, i was ready for this person’s valuable input on my session.
The result was the exact opposite of the one i expected.
Out of 20 exercises i did on the fit ball, she had only done one of them before, i was stunned.
On the pilates moves i usually do, she had never done one of them.
Guess what too? She still had a bad back despite her appearance at all of these “group classes”!!!
I asked how she found all the new exercises i had given her, and she said she felt relieved because her back was so much looser and the exercises i had given her she felt would quickly strengthen her back. This was good for me to know too, as you are looking for good feedback on the work you do, and getting the right exercise prescription is always important.
It shows that if you do the right exercises, then not only do you get substantially better results, but you spend less time exercising too because you will be getting the job done a lot quicker!
It is like seeing someone who only does treadmill work every session, every week, every month for years. They may appear quite lean, but you know they are missing out on so many elements of health and fitness. For example, they are not doing a lot of muscle toning, bone strengthening, muscular endurance etc etc.
They will need resistance training in their lives if they are to reach their true potential. Sometimes we don’t like leaving out self-enforced comfort zones, but we must do it to reach our true ambitions.
