Running seems to be the default workout trainers recommend to their clients. And to be honest, it’s not the best option for losing weight or getting fitter.
If you find your clients are struggling to achieve their fitness goals through running, or if they’re just tired of forcing themselves to keep putting one foot in front of the other, then this episode is for you.
I’m going to be talking about why you shouldn’t be making your clients run, what’s really key to achieving the fitness goals of your clients, and how your decisions affect not just your client but your business.
Find out whether running is the best approach for your client and if you should be recommending it to everyone.
