Some things just don\u2019t make any sense!<\/p>\n
Especially in the fitness world.<\/p>\n
In fact, the longer I\u2019m in the business and deal with other trainers (and hear things from other trainers) the more \u201cdon\u2019t make any sense\u201d things I see and hear.<\/p>\n
Take the following for example\u2026<\/p>\n
1. Trainers who are texting in the middle of a client training session.<\/p>\n
2. And the ones who are more interested in watching TV when they\u2019re supposed to be helping clients.<\/p>\n
3. Skipping the warm up. What\u2019s with that? Pretty sure that was the first thing I was taught at school.<\/p>\n
4. This \u201ctrainer\u201d I saw lying on the ground next to his client, talking about going on vacation to Mexico. Great job pal. <= insert sarcasm.<\/p>\n
5. Trying to kill your client by making them to do endless burpees and high-impact exercises way beyond fatigue\u2026<\/p>\n
6. The trainers who are working out WITH their client. You know they are paying you to train them?<\/p>\n
7. Letting a client continue doing an exercise with TERRIBLE form and not correcting them.<\/p>\n
8. The \u201cfunctional\u201d trainer who gets their client to do all kinds of exercises while balancing on the BOSU. Because you never know when you\u2019ll have to do that in real life\u2026<\/p>\n
9. Doing hundreds of crunches and sit ups to train abs. When there are exercises proven to be more effective, why do I still see trainers everywhere doing this?<\/p>\n
10. Lifting heavy weights for low reps when you clearly can\u2019t do the bodyweight version with good form.<\/p>\n
There are probably another 50 things I could add onto this list.<\/p>\n
But then I\u2019d just belabor the point and waste your time.<\/p>\n
And that wouldn\u2019t make any sense, either.<\/p>\n
Keep on rocking!<\/p>\n

PS. I\u2019m dead serious about point #5. You should never do burpees until you break. Heck, you don\u2019t need any \u201chigh-impact\u201d workouts to get results.<\/p>\n
