The typical client for these PERSONAL TRAINERS!!!!!! is a young professional person that maybe engages in some weekend warrior activity like playing basketball. It doesn't help them one bit. It was time better spent on building muscle using a classic routine.
Time is better spent building the body - not playing around on balls. There is no advantage in squatting on balls, doing sit-ups on balls, pressing on balls, or shitting on balls. It will not develop a superior physique, and it will not prevent injuries as I already proved. IN FACT - It's stupid, because you can't use as much weight if your concentrating on maintaining your center of balance.
NOT PRACTICAL OR USEFUL FOR 99% OF THE POPULATION. WASTE OF TIME.
IT's A GIMMICK TO GET PEOPLE INTERESTED IN WORKING OUT SO THE PTs CAN MAKE MONEY OFF THE SUCKERS!
But you only develop "functional" muscle right? Because muscle developed through classic(proven) exercises, not pseudo-science is not functional. Bodybuilders are meatheads that don't develop functional muscles right? What a clown.
Let me break this down.
1. I'm not you're typical "personal trainer"
2. If the "weekend warrior" plays on the weekend for example in a league, he obviously takes it seriously and needs the training. I have a few.
3. True, there is no advantage to squatting on a ball, but core work is a must, and yes sometimes on a ball is a must (core..rectus abdominus, intercostals, obliques, transverse abdominus, lower back.) for people who cannot do traditional movements and have to do indirect training.
4. The "average" person can careless about building a superior physique, they just want to be stronger, fit and healthy.
5. Funtional training is a must for people who cannot work with heavy weights like the elderly, children and adolesents and rehab clients.
6. And no, bodybuilders (at least National level and pro's) can care less about funtional muscle, although some (the smart ones) are adding it in their training. What proof?.....see how long an off season bodybuilder lasts in a college or pro combine or doing 2 a day training in the middle of summer!!
7. You cannot train an athlete like you would train a bodybuilder.....because BODYBUILDERS ARE NOT ATHLETES and the typical client is NOT A BODYBUILDER!!
