We can either be a prisoner to our own health and fitness or we can be a warrior

First of all i ask questions when im working with a new client. what are their goals? What level of experience do they have? What do you enjoy about exercise? What obstacles may be in their way to achieving their goals? its very important for me to understand what motivates my clients and what pitfalls have disrupted their progress in the past. It is my job to help my clients progress, so i must to have lots of informations and details for planning appropriately. From a more scientific stand point, it is also important to collect data to know where we are starting from and define the goals ahead. I take anthropometric data like weight, height, body fat percentage. I look at movement patterns to check for deficiencies, compensations or imbalances that may inhibit progress. I record performance records to track improvement. Then i periodically invest time in reassessing the progress to motivate the client to perform better.
