What's up guys! Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! Can someone improve their posture? Does someone's posture effect how they feel? We answer these questions, and many more, in today's video which just so happens to be a sample personal training session.
Spoilers
As personal trainers we can have a positive effect on a clients posture, which is definitely a good thing. In fact, my goal with this video is to show that a personal training session that is focused on improving posture doesn't have to be that different compared to any other training session. There are a few techniques to incorporate, and some strategies that work well for posture in particular, but we don't need to reinvent the wheel when we're helping clients with this stuff. As always, keep it simple!
Thanks for the continued support everyone! We really appreciate it!

Hey guys, thanks for all of the support! I love you all!! I think a few people missed the point of this video. I kind of figured that might be the case since I chose to make this one as a session video and those tend to be a bit less concise. Anyways, exercise is inherently helpful when it comes to improving posture. We don’t actually have to change our sessions around too much to have a positive impact on someone’s posture. Also, considering improving posture is never really a clients primary goal, more of a secondary goal, we probably shouldn’t go too crazy trying to get our clients to do things outside of sessions when it comes to posture correction. Give them some solid ergonomic advice for when they’re not training with you, slightly change up your sessions to help out with posture, and stay consistent. That’s pretty much all you need to do! Anyone who’s doing more than that, when posture is the focus is probably doing it wrong.

The thing with posture is that it’s not the end goal. Just because someone has gotten their posture more in alignment doesn’t mean you’ve done them any good. The thing is to teach them how to move better and more efficient. Posture is very important, but the goal is to create a new stress associations so they always are in good position no matter what life throws at them. I don’t see any of these exercises teaching your client how to create better posture in dynamic positions what you’d actually find in real life. Good intention, but eh execution and delivery.

For anyone reading this, the comment above is the wrong way to view posture as a trainer. Exercise is inherently helpful when it comes to improving posture. We don’t actually have to change our sessions around too much to have a positive impact on someone’s posture. Also, considering improving posture is never really a clients primary goal, more of a secondary goal, we probably shouldn’t go too crazy trying to get our clients to do things outside of sessions when it comes to posture correction.

@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation Exercise will generate postural changes because you're putting the body through work. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you're creating a NEW FRAME for the person. (which is a whole separate conversation.) It's not static posture that's the metric, it's how the client has changed their dynamic movement and created new stress associations (AKA dealing with stress in a move resilient way) (whatever that means). We've all heard the mind and body are one. So the question is HOW DEEP DOES THAT CONNECTION GO? I understand posture isn't most clients main goal; but being healthy is. And most can only vaguely describe what that means. (me included) But if I had to, its something along the lines of: moving better and looking and feeling better. So how important is posture? Or put another way, FORM...very important. The exercises you showed aren't designed to create FORM in movement. They are useful to LOOK healthy, but in practice I'd say it's lacking actual application to real world problems. All this is say, I DO have something to suggest: ROTATIONAL EXERCISES. You had NONE. Posture is important only (or perhaps maybe only) when it comes to movement. And we move like coils. We spring and bounce. So if you want to help clients have better posture, work on putting them through exercises that train them to perfect their form in motion. That will then reflect how they stand (aka: posture) I hope this helps anyone out there that hasn't taken the time to consider these nuance points. Being a trainer is HARD WORK, and every person has unique needs. But all can benefit from posture (or form, said another way) in some way. This page is GREAT stuff, and I REALLY appreciate all the videos. I'm here to add to the conversation and put up points that I see most trainers overlook.

@@BrunoRodrigues-fw9ri listen man, I’m trying to appreciate what you’re saying, but how are exercises like bridges, rows, cable presses, etc not applicable to real world problems? You do push and pull things in your everyday day life right? I think I understand what you’re trying to say, but overall it really doesn’t make too much sense. Also, this is just one session, of course over the course of other sessions you would add in additional exercises that would help out with posture and real world strength as well. Anyways, agree to disagree, keep doing your thing! It sounds like whatever you’re doing is working well for you and your clients!

@BrunoRodrigues-fw9ri Год назад

@@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation I understand this is a youtube video and in practice there'd be progression once a client is on a program. I still stand on my point though. These exercises have flaws in them. For example: pulling and retracting the shoulder blades. (this will cause you to LOSE connection with other back muscles aka: fascial chains. Which in turn will cause posture changes that probably will do harm later. Like a forward shifted head position.) Another one you did: body weight lunge. Knees over toes. (Not to say this is wrong but there are problems in always cueing this. Aka overloading the quads) (which in turn will cause compensatory patterns, leading to injury and bad form) All in all and for anyone reading, these exercises don't work to change posture as much as you say they do. At least not in a fundamental way. People will see changes, NO DOUBT, but I'd bet my bottom dollar they'll eventually come to you with some new injury or pain that you'll have to address that would be uncomfortable to admit came from your protocol. I say all these not too attack you! Iv been this trainer. Iv done stuff I thought was doing good to people, only for them to come back next session with some pain and I have to face the fact that my exercises aren't doing what I'd thought they'd do. Today, I use fascia driven exercises and these training methods: GOATA, WECK METHOS, FUNCTIONAL PATTERNS and a few others.

@ryangradee Год назад

@@BrunoRodrigues-fw9ri GOATA, WECK, FP, are all a joke. Get training info a good trainer like Pat Davidson or Jeffrey Wolf. Fundamentals are fundamentals for a reason. If you want to train transverse just jog or use the assault bike. Sagittal movements are how we move heavy stuff. I was you a few months ago lol.
