How do you address a client who insists on pushing themselves too hard in sessions?

And more to the point, are they not progressing or are they getting injuries? If they are showing signs of over training, then you need to step in. I don’t know exactly what is happening so it is hard for me to advise more. But I adjust my clients programs with the guidance of their recovery markers. I ask questions like, “how are you sleeping?”, “how is your energy during the day?”, etc. And I keep a close eye on their stats, heart rate, repiratory rate, performance factors, etc.
