As trainers, many of you will be spending a fair bit of time with people that are, in some way or another, beginners. And we know some of you are beginners yourselves when it comes to training people!
Here’s a series of posts to help with considering their problems, building appropriate programs, concentrating on muscle building, fixing mistakes early on, and things to consider for your own career.
After our all video post last week, we’re going back to covering just one theme, and this week that’s concentrating on just one exercise, the Turkish Get Up. We’ve only mentioned this glorious exercise once before on our blog and so we thought it time to give this truly excellent exercise a little more love.
I don’t know about you, but 2017 felt like it was going to take an age to arrive. And now that we’re back, all of a sudden we’re half way through January and already the gyms are starting to empty out of some of those who made their new year resolutions to get fit and decided perhaps it can wait a while longer.
Not so for your clients I hope!
We start of this New Year with a post on daily exercise habit forming, a round-up of some of the Best of 2016 posts from a couple of well known fitness writers.
This week we’re having a look at a couple of posts about supplementation, another two posts discussing low back pain and, lastly, how to make your own lifting platform.
This week it’s mainly brains and butts! We share an insightful series of posts on willpower, how hormones make you feel hungry and full, what mental toughness really is and how to build it, why glute training matters and a positive tale of long term success working in a commercial gym.
We’re sharing some excellent information this week on Testosterone Replacement Therapy, squat bar positioning, thoughts on different forms of cardio, a follow up on fitness apps, and exercise myths that just won’t die.
This week we’ve really enjoyed these first two posts specifically geared towards female fitness, then posts on fitness apps tested by scientists, some nice finishing workouts using farmer’s carries, and setting up your own home gym.
This week we’ve enjoyed posts from a variety of sources, with a great breakdown of hows and whys of the Turkish Get-Up and Cluster Sets, motivation for all and lies in the fitness industry. Enjoy!
This week we’ve particularly enjoyed not reading too much about nutrition and, instead, we’ve been concentrating on lots of workout ideas. Here are our favourites from the past week.
This week we’re continuing on a discussion from last week on a recent low fat vs low carb study before sharing posts with talk on deadlifting, how to use chalk, cold water immersion, passion and what happens to your body when you stop doing all that exercise!
