Episode #121 I thought I Was Exercising

Before you start reading this article, I want to make it clear that I am not against mobility or any movement when it is about exercise. Moving and exercising is a lot better than not doing anything. However, I want to clarify that because you are moving or stayiang active does not mean that you are improving your strength and quality of life to meet the demands of many of the activities you may do.  Many of our members before they sign up to our program think that they are in shape.  Once they start exercising, they notice that they are not in as good shape as they thought.  When I interview many people before they start exercising, they say they do exercise by playing golf, riding their horse, walking, skiing and other movements. While it is true they do move their bodies, it will not improve their sterngth to perform better in the specific sport or hobby they are practicing. This is the reason why the best athletes lift weights when they compete. They know strengthening their bodies will improve their performance. For example, I have a client who I recently interviewed who loves to ride horses. She crashed many times while riding until one day she knew something had to change because no matter how much she rides, her riding and strength will not improve.  That was when Shannon decided to come and see us...  She understood that she needed to increase her strength to be able to ride her horse and perform better and maybe stop crashing.
