In assessing your clients before developing a training program for them, how does the subjective assessment you perform influence how you go about developing their training program?
I am finding subjective assessments to be a secret weapon against failure when my clients are not motivated by their objective assessments. When you know more about what your client wants from life, you get closer to what they want from exercise.
This is how I train.
Yes, I gather information but since we are all humans and humans change constantly, I switch gears when I need to in order to motivate, accomodate and challenge my clients.
My belief is to always challenge, never be bored or boring
I agree with the responses given. The, as you call it, subjective assessment is the foundation on which you develop the program design for your client. The types of exercise have to be matched to your client’s skills and preferences.
