So you aren’t sure what H.I.I.T is and what the benefits of this training style are? Let me see if I can give you a little insight on this style of training and why you may want to add it into you training program.
So apparently I talk about shoes and feet a lot. I had to dial back into the Delorian to see when I last touched on shoe wear. My previous blog spoke of the concept of why trainers and coaches look to see your feet. Again it is simple...we all have foot fetishes.
I was having a tough time coming up with a topic to write about this month and asked for help via Facebook….oh, the uses of Facebook! Thank you for all your suggestions, but there was one that struck me, “it’s a black fly in your chardonnay.” So here it goes…
After informing a client of their impending doom, (simply told her about her training regimen for the session), her reply was, "Oh I suck at squats! I hate them!" My retort was, "tell me WHY you feel they SUCK?"
What we put in our bodies will determine the results in what we see. As some of you know, I have been trying to start "distance" running a little bit. It has been a bit of a challenge so far because I am built for speed and power, NOT distance.
It may be apparent to some of you that I have many current clients and athletes that I coach and train with back issues. Some have chronic pain due to injuries and some that have had spinal surgery.
As many of you already know, we have been running a contest, of sorts, to encourage attendance at the gym over the summer. Well, I guess it is more of an incentive program really. There are no "winners" or "losers," only attendance benchmarks or goals for clients to strive for.
Did you ever have a time where you wanted to help someone, but they wouldn't let you? I went to a cookout at a friend's house, and one of his friends knew that I owned a gym. We got into a discussion about him wanting to lose weight. I answered some of his questions and gave him some advice.
In my first installment, we tackled the Farmer's Walk exercise. The simplicity of picking up heaps of weighted objects and carrying them at distance, yet with a purpose! This exercise has been around for a millennia, or longer..heh, much longer.
