This is Sally, she has been training with me at JLC since January 2024.
In that time she has become endlessly stronger, fitter and more confident in what her body is capable of.
When we first met, Sally told me she had fused toe joints and couldn't do any exercises where she needs to bend her toes.
She's never been able to do certain things like planks and lunges in the usual way. So we have found alternatives for everything.
Exercise isn't a one size fits all. And a good coach adapts and find solutions that work with you. Whether it's because of an injury, a limitaion, or simply that your body moves differently.
At a recent review, Sally told me she was pleased with her progress but wanted to push herself more. To see what she is capable of and try the things she had avoided.
So when planks came around in our group sessions, we found a way for her to try them for the first time ever
The look on her face when she achieved something she didn't think possible for her was priceless.
Now she can moan about planks with everyone else 😀
