The #1 Mistake Fitness Content Creators Make
Fitness professionals who are using websites or social media in order to get more clients need to treat their online presence as a proper work like any other field. Followers and views don’t automatically translate into sales. You have to be able to capitalize on having those followers and make it easier for them to become paying clients.
The Colorado Experiment
The Colorado Experiment was not conducted in a truly scientific way, but was more of a marketing push very similiar to today’s common “get ripped quick with little effort” schemes. The results published results were astonishingly, impossibly good in terms of muscle building and body composition, but there isn’t a way to prove if the parameters of the experiment were truly followed and people have never been able to replicate the results since.
You Don’t Need To Be An Athlete To Get Out of Bed
Not everyone’s fitness goals need to be about perfection, world record breaking, or that of a high performance athlete. Most people really only need a moderate and consistent movement practice in order to live their life, maintain good health, and prevent injury. Coaches and trainers may be doing a disservice to their clients by overempasizing “perfect” form and reach goals that may be either uninteresting or not doable for them. It can also create fear in people that getting injured doing any kind of exercise will cause injury.
There Is No Goal
Often exercisers set unrealistic goals, especially in the short term, which can easily demotivate them when they’re not achieved. Sometimes it can be best to not make goals at all, focus on making consistent and steady progress by continuing to exercise.
You Probably Care Too Much About Exercise Form
“Proper” form is not the end-all be-all when it comes to injury prevention nor being able to lift more weight. There are many high level strength athletes who have unique forms when lifting and are healthy and injury free.
