We start this episode off by introducing our new coach Jordan Hoppel and asking him some questions about himself and his experience. Tatiana asks Jordan about his biggest pet peeve when it comes to coaching, which leads us to talk about how doctors commonly advise people not to workout.
Jordan explains that when some clients don't want to do a particular exercise, they throw the trump card that their doctor told them not to do it. This can be very frustrating for a coach since they want to help you and wouldn't let you do an exercise that can injure you or aggravate your injury.
As fitness coaches, we don't advocate for an all or nothing mindset when it comes to exercises. Some doctors and clients will say no workouts if there is a problem with a particular part of the body, but we can work around it to keep you in good shape to recover quicker.
The key thing is working with your coach to come up with modifications to your exercises that help you work around your injury. Immobilizing an injury is never a good idea. Proper movements that encourage blood flow to the area and strengthen the muscles around the injury is the best way to recover.
Listen in to this episode to hear more about training while recovering from an injury and working with your coach to keep moving.
