Summer is starting to wind down and many kids are either back in school or will be very soon… but it’s still super busy as many of our clients are shopping for school supplies and clothes, filling out school forms and trying to get in a little more fun before the summer is over!
Encourage your clients to get at least some exercise in if the don’t have time to see you this week.
Send them this 10 min quickfix workout to remind them that you are thinking of them! Tell your clients that something is always better than nothing and if you work it, 10 minutes can be an amazing workout!
“Complete each of the following 3 exercises for one minute each with a 30 second rest at the end of each of the 3 exercises. Then do it again 2 more times for a total of 10 minutes. Remember to take a few minutes to warm-up and cool-down and feel free to take breaks if you can’t make it one minute without stopping. Never sacrifice quality for quantity!

10 Minute QuickFix Workout:
Warmup first.
“Rectangle Drill”
Place 4 cones or mark 4 corners with tape in the shape of a rectangle or square with each cone about 15 feet apart from each other. Start at one corner and sprint to the top of the square. Then shuffle across the top of the square. Then back-shuffle. Then laterally shuffle back to the start. Do this 30 seconds one way and 30 seconds the other way.
One Leg to Push-up
Stand on one leg. Slowly reach down towards the floor and crawl your hands forward until you are in a push-up position. Complete a push-up keeping the foot lifted (if needed, drop to both knees to complete the push-up). Then slowly crawl your hands back towards your feet and slowly push away from the floor back to the starting position staying on one leg if possible. Keep your core strong throughout the entire exercise. Switch legs and do it again. Complete for 1 minute alternating legs.
Bridge
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Tighten your abdominal and buttock muscles and slowly lift your buttocks off the floor until your body weight is resting on the top of your shoulder blades and your knees and shoulders are in a straight line. Keep your hips square to the ceiling. Try to avoid letting your pelvis rotate. Hold this position for a few seconds and then slowly release down. Continue for one minute.
30 second recovery and then complete 2 more times for 10 minutes total full body workout!”
This is a great one to send to your clients to try when they can’t see you, but you can also try this exercises during sessions with your clients!
Yours in health, fitness and business

BUSINESS OF PERSONAL TRAINING SYSTEM
Did you know that I wrote the ONLY complete training business system designed to help you run a million dollar personal training business?! You can have this same business system that will help you work SMARTER and generate HUGE profits like we do here at Northwest Personal Training. The fee to purchase the Business of Personal Training System can be made up within 1 month of increased PT sales and there are NO recurring franchise or licensing fees. A comparable business system in other industries would require an initial investment of tens of thousands of dollars.
