Injury Management 101

As a personal trainer, you get a terrific perspective on people’s lives through shared experiences. This week has given me pause to think about the trials and tribulations we all face. We are all prone to a setback here and there. We all have birthdays, parties, Christmas, New Year, Easter, the list goes on. We all get colds. We all get the occasional flu. We all have personal emergencies, relationship trouble, work stress. And we all get injured. Whether you’re a professional athlete or a couch potato. Throughout your life you will often have times when you have a muscle, bone, joint, tendon or ligament injury. Not to mention the variety of all other medical setbacks, check-ups, tests, procedures and surgeries.

This article delivers to you the basics of how to manage those injuries appropriately and safely, to not only recover but MAXIMISE your recovery.

Why Aren’t I Losing Weight?

This is the question that many people are asking themselves every day across the globe (or at least in developed nations with the most obesity and overweight issues). Usually it’s rhetorical.

In this article I outline some of the most common answers to a question that has many answers. Before I do, let me outline one thing that I know for sure: there is ALWAYS a reason!

Every year I have a strong representation of clients in the City2Surf. This year will be no different. As you all know I have run the City2Surf many times and coached many clients through the process. My clients can range from someone who is looking to compete in the City2Surf for the first time, someone who has never even walked 14km without stopping before to someone who has a target time to break 60mins or even faster! The bottom line is that the people I love working with are those that understand what a realistic goal is and no matter what their starting point, they are prepared to do what is required to achieve that goal. 

I know how to give you that feeling of achievement that only comes from a setting a tough goal – working hard – and achieving it! 

If that sounds like what you want to do this year for the City2Surf then that starts now!
