General Fitness: Body Weight & Bands

Untitled design

From a general fitness perspective, the best trainers are not just the ones that can directly train a client adequately.  It’s the education of what to do in a “worst case” scenario if your client needs to travel, has an emergency, or has a logistical issue like family issues that inhibits the ability to attend sessions.

In any of the above scenarios, body weight training and band training is a great place to start.  There are many different modes of training, but body weight and bands can usually be the best system to implement because of the ease of implementation with no “facility”.  It’s easy to travel with, it’s inexpensive, and the overall variety of exercise implementation can really facilitate a solid, scientifically based program.
