A couple of years ago I was a featured community member on the TRX Blog. The question: What does it mean to be fit and why do you think its important? Here was my answer:
“To be fit means to be physically able to live your life to its utmost capabilities. And while that may vary from person to person, pushing yourself to your physical potential enables you to tackle everyday life, separating those who are just ‘In-Shape’ from those who are ‘Fit’. The human body is an amazing machine and keeping it running on all cylinders is important to enjoy life and all it has to offer.”
I still believe whole heartedly in that statement and our training styles at Dave Q Fitness LLC reflect that with each client or class participant we teach. To be fit also means to be efficient in your movement. That’s why we believe in the principle of training movement and not the muscle, coaching the individual and not the weight, and train with a purpose in mind. These are training principles steeped in science with real world results. Having a solid system in place will help whomever you are working with to become much fitter, be it athlete or your average Joe and Jane.
Everyone has their own idea of being fit, some of you may agree with me and some may not. However one thing reigns constant. Being able to get others “Fit” revolves around your training principles and if they achieve results or not. Perhaps ask yourself the same questions. What does it mean to be fit to you and why is it important? Perhaps with that introspection, you can derive your recipe for success and develop your training principles and beliefs that achieve results.
This video should shed some light on what I’m talking about. “Do WorQ” and Train with a Purpose!
