Testing The Boundaries of Potential

For years a majority of trainees have trained in a certain way, up to certain intensity levels and ultimately reaped a specific level of conditioning.  Today the conditioning landscape is changing more than any other time in fitness history.  This is a damn good thing!

Ok, we could define elite conditioning training as many things from an athlete aiming to complete a marathon and training accordingly to a ‘regular person’ wanting to challenge themselves with a new fitness protocol to move them out of a comfort zone.

This last definition is what I feel the future of real elite conditioning and fitness training should be.  Today people are challenging themselves more than ever.  Ok, we are not all going to be elite olympic marathon runners but the exciting thing changing in the fitness world is that of more and more people seeing the possibilities in front of them that will offer variety, challenge and a level of personal results that  have not been so accessible before.

Today people want variety in their fitness. I agree, as a trainer, there will always be people who look at their fitness regime as one that requires they get into their gym 2-3 days a week after work and they are perfectly happy following their trainers program that may have them in front of the cardio tv sets on their treadmill and then on to a nice run through the machines etc.  Thats fair enough and not bad at all – not optimal – but not bad.  and congratulations to anyone who gets into the gym in the first place!

But what I’m alluding to here is the growing number of people who know they are capable of so much more and capable of levels of training and stimulating fitness protocols that they are searching out the new breed of fitness training.  Its out there, trust me, and new forms are popping up daily.

Certainly the old guard like weight training, cardio (though not long form cardio please! – read HIIT), circuit training etc are still great, but now the HYBRID forms of training are starting to take over.  Look at cross-fit for a perfect example of the shift in training protocol.

You could say its a return to old school principles and in a way it is, yes.  But its all wrapped up in a new challenging ideology that numerous forms of training can be blended together to offer an elite level workout that any person can succeed in with the right determination and faith in their ability to do this type of training.

All in all I’ll sign of here saying that a person today understands that they can really challenge their bodies and there are tools and systems available to prove people right.

For too long people have only really known or been schooled in the idea of going to the gym, doing the few different exercises sandwiched between some cardio for good measure….

But the shift from the smart people who began moving into properly structured group training classes and circuits is giving way to more and more people realizing that anyone can attempt and succeed in the new breed of fitness training systems coming up….

And in turn really test the boundaries of any persons true fitness potential!
