Piano lessons have always been popular, and have you heard of new “how to play the piano” business that is VERY popular?
You go to a room, and there stands a piano, no teacher, nobody to check if you are doing it right, nobody to progress you, you can take some friends there too, they have learned their “piano skills” on YouTube so they must be good yes?
This is the new accepted way for so many people tell me.
I am teasing you of course, but it’s the way many people approach getting fit. No teacher/instructor/trainer at the gym.
If you “just watch others”, success may soon be yours.
No science, no scientific testing, nobody knowing what you are REALLY capable of, and nobody watching you if you get injured or not.
No progressions, no rehab when you things get muscles hurt through daily life, and no motivation, purpose or direction.
I consider it an honour, a privilege, an amazing situation to continually refine my craft, always trying to get better, teach things the SCIENTIFIC way that will bring results not for just right now, but for the long term too.
If you don’t think exercise is science then you must teleport yourself back to the 50’s when doctor’s told you weight training was “bad for your heart”, would “raise your blood pressure”-avoid gyms many would tell you, now science proves those doctor’s claims were laughable.
Then in the 70’s and 80’s when getting fitter and increasing your speed was just doing endless laps around a field, no sprint technique, no measuring if you are getting better, “more was simply better”, no real strategy.
Training should be about improving and a good coach will always improve you, take you to the next level, teach you new skills, let you know where you are right now and where you can possibly go to with hard work and dedication.
Exercise is a real science, it should be exciting to teach, it should make you feel incredible, when you exercise right, it can heal the body better than any pharmaceutical drug and is the true secret/fountain of youth to living a high quality of life deep into what they call “old age”.
Demand more to of your fitness and expect to learn new things regularly and surpass your initial expectations.
Or settle for the “piano lessons” with just a piano in the room with the no teacher analogy-life is a choice.
