Athletic Training for Everyone
I write these blogs to share my knowledge of health and fitness with others and to inform individuals that Renegade training, although it is considered an athletic training, is great for the most “ordinary” of people. Although I am a personal trainer and enjoy working out, I am ordinary. I am not an athlete nor have ever been one. I don’t partake in any recreational sports. I am not training for a marathon, triathlon or any other event. I workout for the benefits of health and wellness. Yet, I utilize Renegade training because it is simply the best training there is for anyone and everyone.
Renegade training focuses on training the entire body, promoting optimal strength throughout that serves to reduce injury. Other workout regimes and exercises focus on isolating muscles groups which creates strong body parts but weaker links that promotes injury.
“On the exercise-front, with the ‘fitness revolution’ came the development of wide assortment of machinery to both make it ‘easier’ to technically perform a lift then its free-weight alternative and to ‘isolate’ the muscle grouping as well. Although well intended in most situations, the problem with this is that that these type training measures eliminate the finite demands on the body to stabilize while lifting and quite logically while isolating certain muscle groups we are more likely prone to creating stronger areas and thus weaker links that will not only limit development but make the individuals more prone to injuries. In simplest terms as an unfortunate rule of thumb most modern gym facilities are designed to train the extremities and by-pass the core of the body’s structure.” – Rotational Axis Training (John Davies)
Don’t be mistaken Renegade training is not just for the athlete but for the “ordinary” individual that desires a better quality of life. Contact a trainer today.
