When I plan workouts, I
think about what muscle groups are working in each exercise, how much an
exercise challenges cardio fitness, how to adapt for injury, and a whole bunch
of other things. Even so, workouts often
need to be changed in the moment for any number of reasons.
Sometimes, as I am taking
a client through what I planned, my client wants to try a different order of
exercises. So we try it and find out
what happens. Sometimes the new order is
better. Sometimes it turns out that I had
good reasons for ordering things the way I did.
Either way, we’ve learned something.
I am not the boss of the
workouts I do with my clients. I have
several jobs when we work together:
keeping the client safe, providing appropriate challenge, watching and
assisting with form, encouraging, and, of course, counting reps. We work together to make the workout work.
We can do this.
