Don't be afraid to touch your clients. No matter how eloquent your commands, occasionally physically manipulating your clients' positions will be necessary. This should never be done, however, in order to place a client in a position in which they're not prepared to be.

Practically what this means is resistance exercise (ideally functional/structural exercises performed in a circuit, e.g. CrossFit); monostructural interval training (e.g. rowing, running, cycling); reduction or elimination of ref......

Deadlifts are a key functional exercise for everyone. If you or a client are unable due to injury or other limitation to perform full range of motion deadlifts, find methods of reducing the ROM at least temporarily. Set the pins in a power rack to the lowest level and deadlift from there, or use blocks from which to lift and onto which to lower the bar through a limited ROM. Remember, weight is not the key ingredient—the movement is. Read Scale This in Issue 20 of the Performance Menu for ......

Add Dynamic Range of Motion (DROM) exercises to your morning routine to improve flexibility and joint mobility throughout the day and your life. Begin with low-speed, low-amplitude movements and gradually increase with each rep. Basic movements include single and double arm swings, over and backs, both upright and bent over torso rotations, and leg swings to the front, sides, and back. 10-20 reps of each is plenty.

When working frequently with barbells, pull-up bars, kettlebells and dumbbells, hand care becomes an important component of your training. Abused hands will develop calluses that will tear if not managed properly, interfering with your training. Spend a little time when necessary keeping your hands in good shape.
