JANUARY’S TRAINER TIPS
Missed out on our trainers' valuable tips this month? No worries! We've got you covered with a quick roundup of some noteworthy insights shared by our fitness experts at Pitt Fit Project. Here are a few highlights from our IG account: @pittfitproject.
Coach Cloud: Speed
Ever feel the need for speed in your particular sport? reminds us that speed isn't just about rushing through movements. Instead, it's about precision and timing. In the world of fitness, knowing when to apply speed can be as crucial as the speed itself. His emphasis on the nuanced approach to speed brings a fresh perspective to our workouts, ensuring we optimize our efforts for maximum impact.
Coach Wes: Training Observations
1. We don’t always need to know the exact details of how something works - do an exercise that provides benefit with a simple explanation.
2. Doing a complex exercise doesn’t always mean someone is more fit - simple exercises can carry across all fitness levels.
3. General strength can carry over to more specific activities to a point - we also need training specific to a particular sports activity.
It's not always necessary to delve into the intricate details of an exercise. Sometimes, the most effective routines are the ones that deliver results with a simple, easy-to-understand approach. Wes also highlights that the complexity of an exercise doesn't necessarily correlate with one's fitness level—sometimes, simplicity is the key that unlocks progress for individuals across all fitness spectrums.
Coach Kendra: 5 Stages of Behavior Change
1. Precontemplation – not really ready to change
2. Contemplation – thinking about it
3. Preparation – getting ready for it
4. Action – making the change
5. Maintenance – keeping the change going
Understanding these stages not only helps us in our fitness journey but also empowers us to support others in their quest for a healthier lifestyle.
