“Train Outside of the Box”

I find that some clients want to train or focus on a specific body part, rather than the whole body. For example, I hear them say, “I just want to get rid of the flab on the back of my arms,” or “I want a flat stomach,” or “I want upper body strength.” Questions like, “Can you get rid of this belly fat? or “Can I get toned arms?” are common ones that I hear regularly. Most of their focus has to do the aesthetics of body parts rather than the entire body functioning as a healthy, fit, and balanced unit.

So what’s the solution? Do I just focus on body parts or the whole? Trainers never train body parts. We train a person as a whole or holistic unit. This means that we take a healthy and balanced approach rather than a partial solution. My work with clients involves gentle coaxing to keep an open mind and “train outside of the box.” Train all of you not parts of you!
