Keeping your workout planning priorities in order

There are so many standardized workouts out there right now. Too many for me to count. While I’m all for working through a progression and following a methodology, I worry that people sometimes lose sight of the importance of really looking at the individual you are working with. Whether it’s a 1:1 training client or several people in a class you are teaching, it’s important to be ready to make changes on the fly based on what participants are bringing to you on a given day.

In my view, the person always comes before the workout. Assess the person and then develop the workout based on what you see and learn about them that day. It’s good to be prepared with a plan and a progression, but be ready to make changes on the fly.

This is true for your own workouts as well. Set a goal; have a plan, but listen to your body and adjust accordingly.
