Hope Mindful Compassion Show – Episode 26 – Personal Training at Hope with Bill
A conversation between Bill and Paul Garrigan
In this episode, Bill talks about the benefits of personal training at Hope. Those of us who fall into addiction can have an ‘all or nothing’ attitude towards exercise. This can mean we either start off overenthusiastically and burn ourselves out, or we struggle to get motivated enough to do even one sit-up. Personal training is helpful because it means we avoid the extremes so we can get the most out of an exercise regime.
Some of the topics covered in this week’s show include:
- How important is fitness training for people who come to rehab?
- Which is more important – aerobic or strength?
- How do clients with low fitness cope with personal training?
- Are there clients who come to rehab who are unsuitable for personal training?
- What makes personal training worthwhile?
- What type of improvement from personal training can clients expect after a month of treatment?
- What fitness advice do you give to clients who are leaving rehab?
- Is there a particular exercise schedule you recommend clients follow?
