Your workout needs both continuity and change. Finding the right balance creates the magic.
Everyone has a different appetite for change. And without continuity there is no tangible way to measure improvement.
Personalizing a program means focusing on specific areas until your priorities naturally shift. Tweaking form, eliminating redundancy, adapting exercise combinations to individual tendencies and quirks, fixing and working around injuries; spotlighting priorities and identifying propensities are used to accelerate overall efficiency.
The best exercises are invented. Not copied off the internet. Because individual foibles are taken into account. The body is a beautiful mystery. It doesn’t lie. But a personal trainer is dealing with the rhythms of the mind as well as the body.
To get the most out of it, enjoy the process. Being positive works best, and explaining the mechanics clearly. Creating a positive atmosphere is just better. Don’t nitpick. And be encouraging when a person gets it and is doing it right. Be motivating.
For the uninitiated, personal training is a revelation. It doesn’t matter a bit you know nothing. You still benefit from a vast amount of experience. For the initiated, the experience of working out is elevated to a whole new altitude. It can make you dizzy.
Get your butt out here! Ciao, Pietro
