Exercise of the Month - August 2011:
“Keeping it Fun”
While I’m constantly after clients to push themselves during their training session, I never lose site on the fact that I need to keep things interesting and FUN. If clients didn’t enjoy their training sessions, I’d simply be out of business. One way to keep things interesting is to engage in semi-private/small group training. Another way is to incorporate things we used to do as kids (i.e. Jump Rope). For some reason, people are always looking for the latest “cardio machine,” when in fact for about $20, you can get a great workout. Jump Ropes are fantastic for burning fat, improving muscular endurance, and agility. From a functional perspective, they can be used as a training tool to prevent falls and improve balance since they can be used bilaterally or unilaterally.
Jump Ropes can be ordered by clicking the following link:
