The personal trainer's health drink
Personal trainers: you demonstrate exercises all day, train yourself, spot heavy lifts, and your body IS your credential. The irony: the fitter you appear, the more your joints are screaming.
Personal trainer benefits
- Demonstration damage — showing exercises 20+ times/day adds volume your program doesn't account for
- Knees — demonstrating squats, lunges, box jumps to every client; cumulative load
- Shoulders — demonstrating presses, pull-ups, kettlebell work; rotator cuff wear
- Back — spotting heavy lifts, demonstrating deadlifts; disc protection
- Recovery — training yourself PLUS client demonstrations; double the volume
- Career longevity — most trainers can't demonstrate by 45; anti-inflammatory extends that
The demonstration tax
You demonstrate squats to your 8 AM client, your 9 AM client, your 10 AM... By 6 PM you've done 200 squats you didn't program. That's an invisible training load destroying your joints.
