The Thrive Body Balance Program Design Method

by Corey Walden

Program design can sometimes be the simplest part of personal training or rehabilitative care, but it is usually the most important. The intensity, frequency, and modalities you use determine training someone for power, for stability, or injuring them in the process. Many trainers seem to go from session to session just thinking "I'm just going to throw workouts at them and hope it comes out alright," instead of creating a comprehensive plan where each session, and indeed each exercise, forms a synergistic plan to safely and successfully achieve the clients goals. This text goes over a multi-stage 4-6 month training method that can be adapted just as easily to train a 70 year old accident victim and a 22 year old competition athlete. You and your clients both deserve the most well planned out program possible.
