Control of your body is gradually lost over time.   Exercise is the practice of retaining or even augmenting your control.   Yet it takes attention.   Just like any relationship.   If you respect the relationship with yourself and your body, show it some attention.   The time you take to train, and notice what happens while you train can make a huge difference on how you move.   More importantly, it can change how you feel.

 I know it sounds straightforward.   If you have trouble moving.....it should be easy to spot.  Right? Not always.   Most people are not paying attention to how they move.   Exercise can be an excellent tool to flush out what is tough to control.   And control is ultimately what we are looking to keep as we age.   Muscle, strength, balance..... it all starts with control. 

Ever feel stuck? Seeing patterns of change can be challenging.  That's exactly what Mark England from Enlifted is sharing with us today.   Using the Enlifted Four Stepping process has changed Keith and Brandon's practice.   They are sure it can help yours.     Click here for: Body Activation Chick here for: Enlifted

The phases of recovery and the impact of neural mapping on recovery.  How does the human sensorium influence movement quality?   When the body tissues have healed yet they don't move the same, it may be time to look at more than the injured area for solutions. Especially, since the body is "all connected."  Use that to your advantage and uncover new training stimuli to adapt differently.

Do you train until the "wheels fall off?"     Many people do.   Finding solutions to create the adaptation you feel and see helping is the key.   That is the challenging part.   Brandon and Keith go deeper into defining variables that help you deliver that experience.

In this series, we share concepts and approaches that help us limit the overwhelm of where to even start.

Principles of Neural Science, Eric Kandel Exerciseproed.com, Greg Mack How We Learn to Move, Rob Grey Why does memory matter? Everything we do is based on it. Memories are constructed. Constructed from experiences. Experiences that have to be sensed, encoded, and then stored. Amazing how our cells can do that. I share three main ways I use memory as an exercise professional to deliver positive experiences to my clients. Enjoy.

How many of your clients have been injured at one time or another? How many are dealing with undiagnosed disease? Here are some ideas that I have struggled with when it comes to real time decision making during sessions.

Spend your time wisely by understanding exactly what your clients need. Strengthen your practice with timely questions.

Your clients are depending on you. Especially if they are dealing with orthopedic and medical problems. They want to get healthy!!! Here is a way to meet them where they are at.

Look for next level business and practice info to help you work with populations that need it most. People need exercise professionals that are capable of solving some difficult movement problems. That is exactly why we are here to help.

Why is exercise so important?  Exercise Professionals use the phrase, "exercise is medicine."  If it is medicine, how are we dosing it? More importantly, why are still focused on arbitrary exercises, sets, and rep schemes instead of individually dosed challenges? Properly dosed challenges may be the difference between a client feeling great, or ending the session early.   This is the dawn of the modality of exercise being used as force diagnostics.   Instead of making claims to what is happening, this episode is about observing and documenting.  Then asking what the client perceives.   This, along with establishing baselines, build the direction of where to intervene or not with any client.  Enjoy the episode.  

Empower your clients to better results with these resources.

In our practice, people come in when they feel good. More importantly, they know they will feel better every time they walk through the door. People stop in to feel better. This is a piece of that puzzle.

Does how you charge reflect your client accountability? Cheap = better?   Does better equal higher value?     If your client needs a different level of interaction, what are you doing to provide that? This and more in this episode.

Know your timeframes. Understand your client. Deliver results. This is a framework to do just that.
