Life's Lessons - Dan John Style!
September 19, 2011
As you get a little older and (hopefully) a little wiser, you start to accumulate wisdom and some things begin to get a little clearer. In the strength and conditioning world the last thing most trainers want you to do is simplify your training routine. To them, the more complicated you make it the longer they can keep the paychecks rolling in. I know that's unfair to a lot of great trainers out there... but life's unfair as well!
A good trainer has the insight and experience to make sure that you are doing the things you need to do to improve your fitness and your life; all aspects of your life. What does this mean to you? It means that you should be working on the "big ticket" movements that are going to make you stronger, more mobile, and resistant to injury. You know what they are... you just don't want to do them because they're hard and make you sweat like a banshee with Atomic Balm on its butt! My job (and John's) is to make the hard work fun, interesting, inspiring and make you want to do it... over and over again!
BTW - check out this article by Michael Boyle that talks about the wisdom that he has gleaned from working with Dan John... it's worth a few minutes of your time!
