Sometimes there is a schism between what people say and what people do. There’s no doubt in my mind that a great coach does not have to be a great athlete. But for the average trainer working with the average client this simply cannot be the case. If the object of the exercise (literally) is to produce healthy, able, resilient individuals then is it’s a case of “physician heal thyself”. We are all walking laborotories, our own experiment in human potential. We can rise to the challenge or simply be “voyuers”.
I’m nursing a bad back this week. I could complain, but you know what? I’ve not been in such good shape for ten years. This current bump in the road can only slow me down for so long. I have an old injury that rears it’s ugly head every so often but I’ve never been better equiped to deal with it.
Today is mobility, slow and simple…but not easy!
On a seperate note I emailed my pal Lou Schuler with my thoughts on Scotlands new ranking as the second most obese country in the developed world. Lou has a great blog which is incisive and funny. (Not many people can do both when writing about fitness) You can check him out here…
