Hey Boyd, Why Don’t You Post a Few Workouts?
Hey San Antonio,
I love providing fitness information, and over time, I’m going to try to transcribe everything from my brain onto video and post them on my sites. With that being said, people often ask me to post workouts on the blog…
There is a reason why I rarely do this. Sure, I could post what I do. I could write up a basic workout that whoever could follow and they’d definitely make SOME progress off of it. But I don’t like “SOME” progress. I like lots of it. I’m not a cookie-cutter guy, I’m totally custom.
All of my workouts, diet programs, etc are custom for the individual that I’m training. I consider everything: your current condition, your age, any obstacles, your goals, your exercise history and several other aspects. If I just write up a workout for the masses, than I’ve gotten away from what I’ve set out to do.
When I train a client, I find exactly what it is that is holding them back and keeping them from getting where they want to be. It may be muscle related, it may be discipline or consistency, and it may be emotionally (think people aren’t emotionally attached to food???). If it’s a bad habit, I have to help you replace that with better lifestyle choices. Some people need encouragement, others need a serious push. Bottom line is there is NO one size fits all.
Physically, no two people are alike. We all have different conditions, wants and desires, and physical make ups. I don’t mind simple recommendations, but I don’t want to post a few workouts and people look at that and think that it’s too hard or too simple, and that’s the only way I train people.
As my clients know, no two sessions are the same. They also know that the only easy session is the last one… Change is inspired by progressive resistance…
Don’t look for the latest fad workout. And cookie cutter workouts don’t serve much use, since it wasn’t created for you. Unfortunately, most personal trainers train every client the same way (which is typically how they train themselves). If the program isn’t designed specifically for you based on your needs and goals, you’re wasting time that could be used making serious progress.
Time is WAY too valuable!
