It seems that when in comes to training most people still want to work body parts. They refer to their body in parts – “I want to do abs,” or “I want to get rid of my flabby arms,” or “lift my sagging butt.” I gently educate them that the body works as a whole – joints and muscles and that it’s best to train the entire body, rather than isolate parts of it. It makes more sense to work the body as one, an entire unit. First it’s far more efficient, second more effective and third fun! It takes a bit of coaxing and explaining to help people understand how the body works. Our culture is so focused on asthethics and external appearances. Take the fixation on abs or chiseled arms – this does little to promote realistic attitudes and fitness goals or an appreciation and relationship to our body. The next time you work out – think of working your body in its entirety – squat – lunge – twist – push and pull using all of you!
