I find it fairly remarkable to see people in a gym without any sort of plan to follow - or purpose. What's worse is having a trainer lead someone through a series of pointless exercises. It's killing time for a paycheck and not serving a clients needs. Most training in a gym (or home) can be done in little time. Unless one is training for the extreme end of a sport not a lot of time need be invested. And gimmick exercises don't belong in any training plan. Sure it's nice to make things entertaining - it's even better though to make ones time in the gym effective. The question to ask ourselves (and a trainer) is "why" - why would we do a particular movement or exercise? Is it meeting a need? The responsibility is on the trainee's own self - know why one is in the gym from the onset and if need be find a trainer who will help meet these goals. Be clear and ask questions and settle for nothing less than sound reason and logic. Thanks for reading.
Peace,
Eric
