Season 1, Episode 9 - Jeff and Thomas Discuss Resistance Training Programming

 Resistance training programming..So many clinicians and fitness professionals want to know more, be better at discussing it, be better at prescribing it, and just generally feel more comfortable about it..A big reason why there's a disconnect between medicine/rehab and fitness is because so many fitness professionals SCARE clinicians with their programming. It lacks a "continuity of care" which safely bridges what the patient has experienced in rehab, or what they are experiencing in daily life with their medical and musculoskeletal conditions with the fitness program itself..In this episode of The Medical Fitness Podcast, Thomas and I discuss a best practice approach on how to begin a resistance training program, and how this applies to both the physical therapy (and clinical) and fitness worlds..We also discuss how the initial familiarization phase differs from the rest of a properly designed resistance training program, and why it’s a critical start point from a fitness, medical, and even a behavior context..This is a unique opportunity to listen to a seasoned clinician and a seasoned exercise specialist discuss resistance training programming. We'll dive even deeper into the topic in future episodes. Support the show
