Hysterectomies, Core Exercise, and Firing Clients: Ask the Personal Trainer
Hey kids, it's time for the next installment of "Ask the Personal Trainer!"
And notice how I'm using photo selection as a subliminal way to butch it up around here, so the whole hysterectomy thing doesn't scare off the boys?
Oh wait. A cute vintage image of a body builder, however muscular, is perhaps not all that manly and macho a design choice. Dudes: just pretend there is a photo montage featuring football heroes, pitchers of beer, big juicy steaks, large-breasted women, and any other gender stereotyped eye-candy that will help you sneak past references to womens' malfunctioning uteri and the surgical removal thereof.
If it's any consolation, we feel the same way about sitting through those endless erectile dysfunction commercials. Do we really need to have to visualize a bunch of elderly guys walking around with 4-hour erections?
And actually, you don't have to have a uterus to require abdominal surgery, so there's good info for anyone who recently had a surgeon hacking around in their insides.
Plus, deep core work is good for everyone's physiology, and might be the actual answer to all those searching for the "one rule for a flat stomach". (Though I think the REAL rule is stay the hell out of the cookie jar).
And we're also going to talk about unmotivated clients and whether to kick 'em to the curb or not.
Note: there was also going to be a rotator cuff question this week, but I realized it was crazy to run so many questions at once, so that will appear next time. Stay tuned!
