in·ten·si·ty
Exceptionally great concentration, power, or force.
Have you ever seen someone at the gym lifting enormous amount of weight effortlessly? Or seen a spin class and everyone in there is gasping for their last breath? Who is working harder? Is the person who is strong pushing themselves beyond their ability? Have you gone through your routine and left the gym knowing that you could have pushed harder or more weight? Better yet, have you left a training session knowing that your trainer could have pushed you more?
I have seen trainers sitting down, looking at the clock, on their phone, clients sitting around waiting for their trainer, I have seen trainers talk to other people while in session and even offer assistance to someone else while their client is just left waiting to be commanded and pushed.
- Focus on their muscle movement and contraction in order for the client to get the best workout possible.
- Focus on their heart rate, their strength levels and endurance.
- Focus on their body language and facial expressions.
- Focus on what they are telling you and know the difference on when they can push harder.
