An Annoyance

[Catrin]

There are many good trainers and coaches out there, it just takes doing one's homework to find them. Personally I've seen far more improvement working with my strength/conditioning coach than I ever did with physical therapy. That doesn't mean that I am anti-PT, just haven't had much luck with the ones I've worked with in recent years.

Oh, totally agree, which was my point actually. From everything V's said, her trainer is one of the good ones. Which leads to the inescapable conclusion that the person who was dissing her just didn't care to do it right, not that they didn't know how.

I know there are lots of good trainers. Denver is kind of an odd place. The trainers I'd like to work with are either downtown or on the east side. I'm in SW Denver. Until I resolve the SI joint issue I'm reluctant to work with just anyone. Besides, I ski 3-4 x's a week and with traveling between home and condo I'm reluctant to commit to a gym or trainer until I have more time.
I've always trained myself with advice from PT's, trainers and instructors. I went to a wonderful facility in Cincinnati and am disappointed I haven't found anything like that here.
Fortunately, I am committed to the new workouts. I'm expecting them to give me the foundation to move on.

Yep, for them it was about getting to the time, mo matter what. I think they started off with good form. She's got a picture of us on her website and we all look flat, but when they get tired and the burning kicks in instead of staying flat they either get a hike in their butts, or curve their backs. Personally, I tend to curve when I get tired and I can feel it. If I can't stop the curve, I stop the plank.

But, it's their workout.
