I have an overweight female client who is not coordinated at all (!) and just starting out. Suggestions?
Clarification: I am working with her on the standard body weight exercises, some dumbbell exercises (light weights), aerobic exercise, nutrition, weight loss, etc. and she’s doing very well. However, due to her lack of coordination, I am trying to incorporate new twists so she doesn’t get bored and continues to improve. Any ideas would be helpful! Thank you!
Hello Alissa,
That’s great for your client to go through this for a better life.
You could try doing alternate bicep curls, then one side at a time, etc. with all the exercises until she becomes more coordinated. Incorporating dance steps for cardio should help, too. How is she with jumping jacks or skipping? That could be a good practice move, as well. These are all simple enough to start with, for now. Jump rope will do the trick, also, just start without the rope for now.
Take care and enjoy watching your client make improvements.
