Effort alone will not cut it when it comes to Fitness

The concept of working out harder and harder has turned into a billion dollar infomercial and affiliate industry. Like the 6 billion dollars in annual sales magic pill and potion supplement marketing monster this is lessening actual fitness progress. I deal with 2 types of clients primarily on a daily basis. The ones who can't get enough and want more more more. Mostly a good thing. Then there's the people who workout 1-2x a week and think walking on a treadmill at 2.5 mph with a 1% incline is going to burnfat. GRRRRRRRR that drives me nuts. I applaud the CrossFit model of barbaric physical destruction but the lack of programming, proper nutrition and supplement focus makes for a limited lean muscle mass growth potential. As well all these in my professional opinion jump around and do plyometrics in your living room DVDs are even more of a detriment to building lean muscle mass. Chaotic helter skelter exercise is just that! You'll sweat, you'll burn lots of glycogen, you'll have sore joints and muscles the next few days. But that pattern equates to minimal long term success and stunts actual fitness progress. Personal training and small group training has to match goals and ability with capability. Be a fitness professional and plan, strategize and do some research. Attend seminars and workshops. Read YES read books. YouTube won't teach you what takes months, years and thousands of reps to perfect. Diversify your training methods. NOT using TRX, kettlebells, freeweights and basic bodyweight core strength methods means you're not up to speed. Invest in your self so your clients and career will benefit even more.
