Spend too much time hunched over a desk? ๐
Your training can help you move better outside the gym too.
In this video, we break down a couple of simple exercises designed to get the upper back moving, open through the chest and shoulders, and work on the positions that can become restricted after spending hours sitting at a desk.
The takeaway for future trainers? ๐ก
Donโt just prescribe an exercise โ understand why youโre using it, what you want your client to feel, and how to coach the movement effectively.
Thatโs the difference between simply knowing exercises and knowing how to coach them. ๐ช
