Determining Exercise Selection (Program Design Series Part 4) | PD Podcast Ep.50

Episode 50 seems unreal and we thank you so much for listening!

Today's episode is the fourth in a five-part series all about program design. For this episode, we will focus on determining exercise selection. To listen to the first three parts, skip back to episodes 47, 48, & 49. Today, Sue, Alex, and Austin dive into how Team PD coaches determine a client's exercise selection and how it is dependent on the goals each client has.

As always, it is our goal not only to supply you, the listener, with valuable insights on the topics or questions but also to plant some seeds for further research and thought. Without further ado, let’s get into today's episode.
