A lot of people in my profession talk about results as if they are some magic thing. Nope! When we do things, other things happen. It’s basic cause and effect. Exercise will change our bodies.
But. (There had to be a but, right?)
Results come from what happens before. If we make a habit of skipping workouts or if we phone it in every time we do show up, we’ll see the effects in the results we get. Similarly, if we consistently over-train, we will see results like exhaustion and injury and repetitive stress. I didn’t learn a lot in chemistry, but I did learn the concept of titration, or, as I like to call it, approximating our way to greatness. We look at the results and we see how we like them, adjusting as needed to get what we want.
As unique as we all are, we don’t have to start from absolute scratch with our cause and effect experiments. Those of us who want to build endurance need cardio and lots of reps with relatively light weights. Weight loss people need plenty of cardio, a good dose of weights, and an eating plan. A trained professional can help us figure out where to start and help us tailor from there.
Let’s play.
