Innovation and technology have brought information at our fingertips. A quick click here, a few scrolls there, and voila! a training regimen. In a time when instant is premium, fitness and diet fads that promise a quick and easy way of losing weight, of getting strong, or of achieving that beach-ready body, have been selling like hotcakes.
But how different is it to have an expert write your program and coach your session?
Let’s break it down to three: Tailor fit programming, Athlete accountability and Education, Progress tracking and Result.
Tailor-fit Programming
Good lead coaching will make sure that you're doing what you need to do, when you need to do it. Why is your rest period this short? Why does this exercise come after that block? Why are we doing this and not that? The program is planned, in detail, and rationalised to the very bit. Training isn’t a guessing game, so it shouldn’t be left to chance.
Athlete Accountability and Education
While committing to a schedule is one thing, attending to it is another. A great coach will hold you accountable for your commitment to your goals and will make sure you show up and get the work done, day in and day out. Whether it be a simple 40min recovery session or an all-out lifting day, a great coach will make sure to get the best out of you.
And when you’ve reached your goal, a great coach will also ensure that you will have the tools and knowledge to go further. You’ve lost weight? That's amazing. A great coach will make sure that you develop the habits and discipline to keep that 5 kilos off for the rest of your life.
Accountability and education should always be part of the equation.
Progress Tracking and Results
Undergoing a training program will entail a ton of commitment. And if you are going to put in time, resource and effort into something, you would want to see progress and results. Training with an expert will ensure that you are moving towards the direction you want to head at. Tracking data, analysing variables, and setting baseline measurements to check for improvements, and to celebrate milestones is a standard of world-class coaching.
Movement, and exercise of any nature definitely beats being sedentary, but if you’re going all in, getting the help of an expert is the best and surest way forward.
