For me anything that you do that takes your body beyond what it can already comfortably do can be resistance training. But that’s the hard part. To do that we have to push ourselves. We have to be willing to try things that we aren’t sure that we can do. So not only is there physical resistance, we also have to overcome the mental resistance to being uncomfortable.

Once we can do that we can do anything.

But why? Why should we care about this kind of exercise?

So How DO you get better at what you do in an industry where everyone is basically doing and offering the same things?

In my humble opinion what sets instructors apart lies outside traditional continuing education. Outside the letters after your name and the certifications on your wall. And in order to find it you need to think outside the health + fitness education box.

The way I find it is by taking a hard look at where I am resisting change.
