I have been a personal trainer for more than a decade and everyday I try to learn something new in my field. It has been a great help that the new studio I work at is open to new ideas. We all like sharing our new exercises and workout ideas. It seems everyone is coming up with combination movements. These are movements were you may have 2 or 3 exercises in sequence, ex. standing row with a squat. Now this is not only stimulating to the client, but the trainer can have some fun as well. It's fun to watch your clients being challenged. We all get in a rut sometimes and we do the same exercises over and over with our clients. I know my clients want and need a changing workout on a consistent basis. It's boring for both of us otherwise.
I see that I need to be around more like minded people. This helps me stay fresh and on top of my game. Talking and brainstorming is essential to me becoming better trainer. Please let me know what you think. What's new exercises do you know?
