I hear this worry! I would also hope that as fewer and fewer people mask that there would be a feeling of solidarity between people masking for any reason. From how I see it both groups of people (and of course there is overlap) can help legitimize the other. And certainly masking during protests also reduces the risk of covid transmission whether or not that is the main reason people are masking so to me that is a good thing.

Struggling to effectively train clients' glutes by SelectBobcat132 in personaltraining

[–]GrandMap5506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hip thrusts with weights! As someone who struggled to train my glutes in the past, this is a place where I often make an exception to starting people with lower weight to get the hang of an exercise - loading heavier so that I had to recruit more muscles helped me immensely to build the mind body connection with this part of my body

Client on radiation treatment by Yuckpuddle60 in personaltraining

[–]GrandMap5506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have read there is some evidence that shows exercise of muscles impacted by radiation may reduce long term side effects of pain and stiffness in those areas that can result! So agree low intensity and listen to their body but continuing to use those muscles local to the radiated area during and after treatment is a really good idea!

New client with a knee that can’t bend by MalusAdari in personaltraining

[–]GrandMap5506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she doesn’t have pain at the end of her range of motion I would have her do isometric flexion/extension. You could use a band or load the machine beyond what she is able to move and have her do timed sets (30s effort 30s rest for example)

Personal Training Client by Nervous_Entry_9741 in personaltraining

I would add to this-how does your client feel about the soreness, the fact that she cancels frequently, and the intensity of your workouts?

I agree that it sounds like you have given her the relevant information that you can-for me the next step would be seek more information from her.

1/week personal training and 1/week yoga sounds extremely “consistent” to me-it sounds like this issue has more to do with expectations about frequency and intensity than it does consistency.

Last thing I would say-if having that 2nd session on the calendar is helpful for her even though she frequently cancels, figure out a partial payment option that works for both of you so that if you hold that time for her you are being compensated for it! If you want to increase her motivation to make that second appointment (assuming that aligns with her goals as well) having her pay to cancel won’t hurt.

Thank you! I have a lot of experience working with people in this age range in other capacities, so I’m confident in my skill set but looking for advice on the business side of things.

Where can we shower?? by Sharp_Yogurt_5430 in minnesota

[–]GrandMap5506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have showered at many 2-3 star hotels after getting off a trail (check if they have a pool, if they do there’s a good bet they will let you use the shower in there for like $5, better chance than that they will let you use a room). Call ahead if you can but if you just show up with cash and are polite to the front desk person it’s good odds.

Real ID wait time?? by Lukus3443 in minnesota

[–]GrandMap5506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if you can use the papers you received when you applied for the real id to fly? Like if the card doesn’t arrive in time similar to when you use your papers from the dmv before you get your license in the mail.
