 Hi, I'm Lance and I'm a nerdy personal trainer. I don't like calling myself that though It's not the nerdy part. I'm absolutely a nerd It's the personal trainer part that I disagree with. I Think it has this negative connotation, right? So when I hear the words personal trainer I picture the biggest loser the TV show So there's a trainer and a client and the trainer tells the client exactly what to do every time is this better I want you to eat this. I want you to eat that much of it. I Want you to do this exercise and I want you to do it this way It reminds me of when my clients say Am I doing this okay? Or is this working out? Usually what I respond with is does it feel okay? How does it feel? Because the answers lie within you When you look at the biggest loser at the end of the show most of the people have lost a ton of weight and Then when you talk to him 12 months later Most of them have gained it back Now why is that? Maybe these people Don't need more advice maybe They just need a plan a plan that they can come up with on their own a plan that Allows them to adjust a plan that fits into their life a plan that is sustainable You know, I had a client come up to me once and tell me if I had known that working out was like this I would have started a long time ago This woman was in her mid 30s and super fun to work with and it was kind of sad but it was also kind of cool Because not only had we created this environment that she was comfortable Sweating in around strangers But we had given her the tools to take her life into her own hands And that's what I want to challenge other trainers to do and if you're your own trainer That's what I want to challenge you to do Plan a is important and it's very necessary to get going but It hardly ever works Plan B plan C plan D Those are the ones that you need to be ready for Because sometimes stress is gonna come hit you because sometimes your knee is gonna hurt that day I want you to have options. I want you to have tools in your toolbox so that you can continue working out in a way That is sustainable What if instead of squatting hurting your knees? You had a way to squat and you knew how to adjust yourself What if instead of working out and feeling exhausted every time you had another way to work out where you felt rejuvenated and you Picture this life where you can't imagine not working out. What if Instead of not knowing what to do You had something else you could try Good luck
