You're listening to fit processions were parallel coaching episode number 22. Hi. I'm Jill Bergman and in today's podcast. I'm talking with Haley. What about how to avoid overwhelming self-doubt when planning workouts for your personal trainer clients? So stay tuned. Hi, I'm Neil Bergman and I'm Haley Bergman over the last 10 years. We've helped thousands of Fitness professionals to get qualified lemon Simplicity and Coach clients with confidence with the first to say that learning and being a fit probe doesn't have to be hard work. Work and that with the right structure support and resources. You can become a confident and knowledgeable business professional that is dedicated to more. How do you learn qualify and Kickstart as a Pit Row? This is the pit procession podcast is parallel coaching. So episode number 22. It is the first one of 2020. Good morning. How we doing Happy New Year. It's a little bit late for happy New Year. It's the 9th of January when this goes like this right notice. We don't have a green screen. Today, I'm a lightens down as well. But that's all okay, you can still see and hear us all. Okay. So what we talked about today Haley today, we talked about planning. So we get a lot of questions from our Learners, especially when we put in our Inner Circle asking for questions and what people want to ask us and it's usually around planning and how much how overwhelming planning is and how it can breed a certain amount of self-doubt for people that are already qualified as personal trainers and fit Pros. So ultimately what we're talking about is planning and how to drop overwhelm and self-doubt. Yeah, exactly. And a lot of those questions come in saying all do it. Like do I need loads of software? Do I need to have all this all-singing all-dancing? What if I've got lots week you could you could but that might lead to more overwhelm learning a new bit of software and new bit of Kit. Absolutely unnecessarily. Maybe it's up to you. You never know. I've been a PT for over a decade and I can genuinely say I only use one app really with clients which is my fitness pal. Yep. There we go. It really simple and so the problem that we see most with fit Pros is that they don't necessarily value the time it takes to do the planning. So I'm going to drop that right in there nice and early Sun and that could be a result of something that happened from their PT course, it might be something they've experienced themselves. I think historically as well, but PT industry has very much been not suddenly I've seen it's been paper says Russian paper go and serve a client pays you less a 30 pound for the session in the gym or at home and that covers everything but covers for travel the planning the set up the session the debrief unpacking the drive home where I'm going to say Petey has become a lot more sophisticated in the last I've seen it, you know as a PT still active. I still PT clients myself and it's become a lot more sophisticated in the last couple of years and If that comes a lot more value are stacked value, which means I or You should be value in all of your time. Yes. So rather than C is a paper sessions a 30 pound per hour. It's not just those training sessions account. So completely it's all areas of how you manage your clients lifestyle and mindset and also, let's keep it on track. Just playing if we don't value planning from a monetary perspective. I'm not going to do a great deal of planning. For my client massive problem and that also causes a certain amount of overwhelm and I've heard many a clients before say that I find it really confusing. They got Bits of Paper everywhere. They're trying to think about what their clients should be doing in like 12 weeks time and they just don't really know where to start and then they start thinking about the exercises first. They get massive overwhelming like I don't know how to make it good and they get stuck in this thing of actually probably it's better that I just don't bother planning. I'll just turn Couldn't and wing it. So they get longer. I don't jump in. I just remembered something here. And yes, this irritates the heebie-jeebies out of me TV TV. See him very politically not gonna sweat. Maybe that's my 2020. Maybe New Year's resolution is not heebie-jeebies. I'm going to save the body coach was doing a hit session on Facebook live. He had near on like 8,000 people tuned in and he said categorically at the beginning very Mine He's a role model own in mind a lot of fit Pros look up to him bearing in mind. He's made in excess of 10 million quid in my last couple of years. Yeah, and so he provides evidence that it's possible to make it big. I'm in Fitness and he categorically said live I haven't planned this session guys. I'm just going to make it up as I go. What the I'll let you fill in the blank. It doesn't promote planning. It doesn't promote planning. That's my point. So if I'm a new fitpro and I'm I'm inspired and looking up to some industry greats because he has been great for our industry. There's no doubt about it. Yeah, it's the same point. He's set with Preston, but sometimes you don't need to plan when in actual fact you do. Yeah, you do. It's It's a massive problem. Not just in that area. But also like if people feel like they are stuck for like they're overwhelmed and planning takes a backseat. It doesn't get valued and as a result, it ends up not getting done and as a result that affects the clients goals, but the real opportunity that we've got here is that rather than having this problem is if we do it, right and we do planning in a real simple and structured way. We're going to share some principles with you here today is that you can plan with Simplicity you can plan with structure. ER and you cannot see it as a chore and you can actually get really great results of your clients. So planning is a real clear opportunity cheesy. I'm going to say it fail to plan plan to fail. Whoo. It doesn't matter what area of life we look at if we don't have a plan but I can't work towards something. Yes. Nice simple of that's really that simple. Yeah exactly. So we want to share five main principles with you and also a serious amount of action as well and we've made our notes. Wow, so let us know. But incredibly strong through a very strong periodized plan, but I'm following know. So where do we go first tell you because you've you've planned miss you plan for popcorn ceiling organize your feeling is that planning is it have your day to go into a session without a plan. Of course, you're not going to feel organized this course, you're going to feel like what am I doing overwhelmed and self-doubt? Absolutely. So we even plan this so yes, the first one is about Volume Now volume has two different sides to it. Really the key thing about volume is that it's going to get easier the more you do. So I touched so many of you know loads and loads of our Learners, you know on the PT course a time because you make planning sound so easy. I do find planning easy because every time I talk about planning I lay down a new kind of what's the word muscle fiber in my brain repetition. That's what planning is. That's how it works. And every time I say I sat in a slightly different way, so every time I teach it planning for me becomes so so familiar because it's repetition repetition is Amara will skill and so, you know across the last decade for me personally. I've done countless numbers of plants thousands of plans and taught it hundreds of times. So planning does appear easy. Absolutely. So that's one part of volume so volume for the new PT have a new fitpro whether you're a personal trainer gym instructor, sir. Constructor spin instructor etm. Instructed a quick quick kids yoga Pilates. You never it doesn't matter what volume comes down to how many times do I plan? Yeah. Nice. And also, how many do you have to deal with any one point? You're a brand new instructor brand new Petey. I'm gonna guess you probably don't have tons and tons of clients. So you might be doing this part-time alongside your existing job. You might be doing this as so You're trying to get going full time, but still you only got a few clients. So in as in reality, you probably don't have that much volume of car of planning to do so, there's not that much 200 get overwhelmed about which becomes this is mindset issue that it sounds overwhelming but really you've only got three or five clients to prepare for anyway, one thing I hear an awful lot is I don't want to hurt my client and on a break my client. I don't want it to be too easy or too hard. And so we used Those limiting self-belief stories to stop us from taking action and planning something. I remember doing feels like I've talked a lot about me. I'm gonna say it. Anyway something I used to do an awful lot back in when I first started was makeup hypothetical plans. So I used to say to Haley. Yeah. I remember that. Yeah, it's all hail. Excuse me act like a hypothetical case study or client and I used Pink and just jot down some notes of what I would do for them over a four-week or an eight week or twelve-week plan. I wouldn't overthink it just literally two or three minutes and I'll try and push out a plan and became you only repetition. I remember driving to our PT course when we were learning to be Pete. He's doing this backwards and forwards I would suggest a client like profile when he make up a plan and then Neil would suggest one and I'll make up a plan and we've done this for the whole for our journey. I still I still do this. It's repetition repetition. So rather than say wait for the volume or I've only got three clients at the moment. I only got two clients that moment. I don't feel that great at planning. I feel overwhelmed go on and create some hypothetical case studies and think like, what would I do with a 35 year old guy? That's super super busy. We can only train twice a week. What could I do with a young mum? That's 25 years old that has been given the sign-off from GP to go and train again 12 weeks after the pregnancy. Absolutely. What would I do with a 30 year old guy that's getting back into martial arts Jiu-Jitsu and wants to develop his muscular strength and that will take care of the volume. So wherever you are principal one is volume, whether you've got a small amount you need to design some extra ones, imagine them or get stuck into the volume you do have this leads really nice into principal to principal to is about having a specific. Take type of client if you've got no mentioned loads of different ones a minute ago. If you've got loads of different types of client, you're going to feel overwhelmed I'd feel overwhelmed. If a really experienced bodybuilder came to me and said, can you improve my performance on stage? It's not my specialist. If a hockey player came to me. Uh, I don't know. I don't specialize in that. So today we're on day three of our January Sprint's we have our Fitness business Kickstarter. We got how many people in the group? Almost 50 50 50 new fit Pros inside the group and they want a free of the 28-day Fitness business Kickstarter. And today is all about the early stages of that Avatar now ideal client and this helps firm set themselves up for success. I was a bit of a mouthful because from a planning perspective. If you have one ideal client or two really are Max ideal clients. You've only ever got a plan for really one person because even if you have let's say 30 clients, but they're all The same type of client then you've obviously got a plan individuality to that but you know, the the concepts that were training principles. That's what I'm talking about, but training principles and the research behind that so for example, let's go back to a previous learner. She deals with menopause. Yeah, so she knows what majority of our all of our clients are ladies knows the problems that you know the problem she knows what they're somewhere in their 40s and early 50s. These she knows so much about that client. She knows what to plan based upon their prey pain and their problem and knows how to kind of liberate then through training nutrition and mindset awesome. And so yes, she's got to do lots of different plans for everybody. But she has a generic plan knowing what she's got to do for that person. So specificity of a client type is crucial. I think that dissolves overwhelm the most because you're not going what if this person person comes and asks me what if this person also positions you as the expert it positions you as for local expert because you rent deal with let's say you're dealing with menopause. You're only dealing with ladies, but I'm in menopause so that when a guy comes along you I don't train guys you need to go to this party to go to this person and that really does position you as the expert if you look at any successful business they have very clear on who they work with and they're very clear on who they don't work with and they're very confident saying yes, I work. You and no I don't work with you. Awesome. Yes, and that's principle. Number two the client which flows really nicely into principle number three, which is about valuing the time you spend on your planning. Now, we mentioned this at the beginning. I think it's linked with the specificity because if you're doing research about your client and you're doing research about that client type, let's say for example menopause. Are you doing lots of research in that area? You can value that research time and you can value then all the little planning of all of the different variables more likely to get my goal to Petey's PT. Number one does no planning. No research turns up paper. Our just is does a session. Yeah PT number two does the research they do for planning. They applied for research to the planning. They turn up they deliver a race specific sessions were very specific person. It's like the guy a taken. I've got a very specific set of skills. Skills that's not even go down in person. Oh, that was rubbish. Anyway, you get my point right? I can't do this for client really want Pleasant. In fact, I would pay more for number two. And now your position does the expert they're more likely to go get I want that person and that would explain why there's a gap in the PT Market or the coaching Market if you look at for example, Sample James Baldwin and verdad Coach. Why is it that he is accelerating off? Very very specific with this ideal client and other people that are doing other things associated with dads aren't able to even come close to what is delivery. Why is it everybody coach or Jane Smith or Jamie Alderson able to accelerate off ultimately doing the same thing as a new fitpro? Yeah. Anybody can do this. Same outcomes. Same things same thing for y of accelerating off nice. Okay, and that comes back to to that point of fact doing the research for planning the positioning the specificity in the volume. And now you that in your pricing. Yeah. Absolutely number four number four is about the format that you choose this often causes a huge amount of overwhelm. Where do I use software? Do I use word? Do I write them back of a fag packet? Probably not affect the test goes for seat will do but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Whatever makes you feel comfortable with your quite tacky. You could hop. To a software thing. If you want to you could use canva is really good way for very techy person and I use PowerPoint. I use PowerPoint. I like PowerPoint because you can put images you can list out what they've got to do. I always think about how do I keep the end user in mind? How do I and so for example, like you guys you come on our courses revision Mastery, whatever we always thinking how do I keep it? So goddamn damn simple keep it It simple stupid keep it simple structured structured so that you or the client actually get it first time. There's no more guessing. It's pipsqueak e-easy pipsqueak. It was when you said in the beginning, I don't know codswallop now, I had an email. I don't know. I'm on it none but Wicked I love that analogy. So could a five-year-old right it not a civilian context. Your knowledge is not understand that could a five-year-old understand. It's something my coach used to say an awful lot to me was Neil treat everybody as if they're stupid unless they prove you are. Otherwise this way treat me like that. Yeah, and I love this concept that's not to say that the client is stupid by any means, but if I can deliver this information, which is quite in-depth knowledge in depth Research In Depth planning in a really concise easy to follow for Matt. Yeah then There's no deletion of words. There's no I'm not generalized anything. I've not distorted anything and that comes to I tell us a little bit of NLP though. I've made no assumptions. I just made it super super clear. So can you deliver this for in a format? That is so super simple. And you know, what for me it was always PowerPoint. It was just a list of exercises in order do this for this number of sets reps. Rest Tempo blah and you Easy adapt that each week. Yeah it and change the exercise and stuff. Well, I do find sometimes software does is that it makes you focus on the funkiest sexiest programming of exercises not necessarily the overall periodization and variables which will come on to in a moment because at the end of a day the client could just do one exercise for 30 minutes and still get the same out pretty much in the grand scheme of things not for same with food Makai. I could eat pizza for breakfast lunch and dinner providing my idea to calorie calorie deficit calorie maintenance our calorie Surplus for the energy balance equation in the grand scheme of things. I yeah, I've made that quite crude, but absolutely. Yeah, it's what matters so let's go onto principle number five just our fifth one and finally won the final one of the principles and then we've got some action steps to look at as well. So the first the final one is about knowing the adaptation you You want your client to I thought you going to just pop me I confess pump. Do you know what I love because actually we get to come back to the same topic of anatomy and physiology. You know, when you go in the gym you are your client doesn't matter go out for a run home based work out in the park the Dome at where it is. You're not training exercises. You're not going on. I'm gonna go and do a lat pulldown. I'm training my back you're training for the physiological and Anna. Get my words out you're training for being that him get my words out Michael anatomical and physiological. Thank you for any response in that muscle towards a goal. So I need to understand. Where's my client right now? What's my current status? Where do I need to go to and how long is that realistically going to take which comes back to smart goals? Yes. Well that was big can of worms here, but ultimately know the intensity the variables of like reps and things like that unless you know, Don't taste you're even looking for and what is that tension specific adaptations would impose them and another we've mentioned this a lot of this podcast, but it's true. I think we can mention even more to be honest. But yes, I don't know what I'm changing in the anatomy and in the physiology of the client, I'm literally guessing. I'm literally just doing a series of exercises and you have a client might get a little bit faster fitter stronger leaner and meaner through just exercising but it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to get a goal. I was talking to a guy in a gym a couple of weeks ago. Go a few weeks back now actually and he pulled me over and he asked me something about that again. It wasn't that cool down or seated row and I asked him how long you've been doing his plan and he'd been doing his plan for three years. He hadn't changed it fair play to his guide tip my hat because it done the same plan for two three times a week for three years. Well, the realized he wasn't actually yesterday thousand times twice ridiculous be wasn't actually didn't get his goal. He was actually quite open. It said your how frustrated he was. And that comes down to it doesn't it's not about we exercise. No, it's about be physiological and anatomical adaptation brought about by exercise by training and there we go to focus on so let's recap those five principles and then we'll bring all this into a few real clear action steps to make sure those five principles were number one volume number two specificity. I have an idea ideal client Avatar. Who are they? What are they do I You name it we can um, but every podcast on that may be a fit for a session just on ideal client. Yeah, number three factor in the planning and value that time number four was about format. It doesn't matter just use Crayola crayons and and no vibe was about knowing the physiological adaptation. You want to see so action point. Yeah. The action points we want to roll into is something that we really promote when we teach our PT courses when we do coaching confidence Workshop day. He's we really look at how many Sonic's coaching conference march-april calls me that so so when we're structuring everything together, it basically means that you are focusing on the right things at the right time. Now, we suggest you start first of all with the end in mind. So you need to know what the clients goal is and what measurement they want to achieve. So measurement is the first thing really really imagine that I live in Plymouth. We live in Plymouth and our Academy training cost was up in Milton Keynes. Yeah matched if I didn't know that that was the end outcome to get to Milton Keynes. I just got in the car and I just drove and I was like is this for training then, you know is this for training then, you know is this for training and you know, like of course you're never going to reach your destination. So you've got to know the end outcome before you even start if we can start planning before you think about anything else? No the end outcome which comes from measuring and talking to a client and then you want to go further some Big variables the big variables are fit frequency intensity type and time and time so frequency intensity time and type are basically the big four and you want to know you want to focus on these and how you adapt them over each week. So you can show progression so frequency. How many times does my client train per week? That might be you know, the gold number I believe is a minimum of three times per week and that hits all kind of ACSM. Earns for forfeit. Yeah, okay. So three times a week you your client might only train with you once but you still have to plan B other two, they could you can't just do like one PT session and go Hey Joe bloggs going to be over to on your own. I'll go and do this in class and Miss body attack cause he's good enough to get my goal. So you've got to plan all three even though they're only with you for one. That's why we said about value in planning more. Because you got a plan for sessions. You're not even going to be there and that's why you've got to be able to write in Crayola crayons. Perfect. And then after frequency had intensity intensity all links that physiological adaptation. You can only know what intensity to choose if you know, they're after weight loss or endurance or hypertrophy or strength to get that by knowing exactly where they are now. So doing some cardiovascular testing some resistance based testing some range of movement flexibility testing some objective and subjective. Active some questionnaires subject questionnaires and objective measurements like height weight BMI, waist hip circumference body circumferences fat calipers, whatever it might be and what they can do and what we can do now, I can complain about intensity and intensity is not just, you know, say to I'm going to do 12 RN but also what training systems my going to use I'm a beginner intermediate Advanced are do I have no training age of a not been in the gym for 20 years or have they been triggered? Lincoln six months what's their training aid and then I can be quite a bit going to do single sets basic sets circuits, Pha The Long Watkins Giant Steps triceps supersets pre-exhaust post exhaust eccentric you get the gist. So that's where your level free training systems come into play with in intensity. Yes, next one's really important to have time. So time that you choose and the timings of the session are still coming under this variable. Is it a 40 minute session? Is it an hour or so? Session is it a 20-minute session? I mean we need to drop the fact that people are paying for their gonna pay me for not paying for me. I'm not paying you for an hour. They're paying you for results and they're paying you for a session. So repeat, so I'm not again. We're paying you for a result. Not a session. Is that way? Yeah, they're not paying you for an hour hour. They're paying you for a result. Like my PT session last night was I think 35 40 minutes max. It's fine. As long as I get the results. And actually sometimes better. Yeah, this is we get less is more because actually we hit the and that's a condom get my werder the anatomical and physiological demands of that session and they were really high demands and serve our clients kind of fuel tank was spent after 25 30 minutes in the grand scheme of things. That's that so there's no point in me pushing for the hour because for client just wouldn't be able to do that. Then that's knowing the clients goal. That's known for clients current physiological anatomical Status and going well, they're paying for a result. Not my time. Absolutely. Not not an hour. And then once you know that time frame, let's say we want it could be 20 minutes and then week two we can be 25 minutes and how it progresses then you can break down your timings of your session. So once you extract the warm-up, so that's 10 minutes and you extract the cooldown and that's five minutes. What are you left with in the main body? Okay. So let's say we got something 50-minute session. We do 10 minutes warm up ten minutes called down. I'm left with 30 minutes. Guy, so 10 minutes warm up ten minutes called down at 20 and I don't know what he's looking at me for those of you looking at me like yes, I believe that's right. Why don't I do 50 - do it? Oh my God, 30 minutes. So what can I do in 30 minutes what training systems in excuse me intensity drops inside 30 minutes. My kind is got you know, yeah. I know let's say late begin early intermedia and we're in let's just say tricep. And supersets how many we're doing a whole body approach how many sets or exercises within a try setting superset? Can I do am I doing say triceps on to on legs one on a push-up a body one on a poor upper body one on shoulders one on arms. That's five. Try sets and I'm gonna do that twice through so that's 10 sets or told a free exercise. So that's 30 x is that's 30 exercising its and then I've got to fit in some super sets in there any wax your I'm well over my 30 minutes now. So what ones am I going to take out and how am I going to put them back in? So this is where we come back to volume, which is our first point. Today's you've got a practice planning. You can't just assume you're going to get it right first time and I have some contingency and have your do the most important parts of the plan first and then know that you kind of got extra things you can put in if you need to but for your first few, I like to make it a spot on every time I like to plan it really simple. I just Right what must I do in this session and ideally try and get them into compound moves because compound or multi joint moves get biggest bang for my buck. And the reality is my clients and you're with me for one or two sessions a week out of a hundred and sixty eight hours. So I want to get the the highest risk exercises out of the way and done under my supervision. Then I go down to isolation. Then I go down to my extra accessory any any accessory work what I need to do bit. Really if I just look at it warm up compound moves isolation accessory called out perfect and I try and make sure the client performs the highest risk exercises with me as opposed to a move on perfect. And that's your timings. And I think we've overlapped into type quite a lot as well. So things in terms of time and type type is now your exercises notice how this is last low-cost. It's not a frequency you look at intensity you look at time. You don't consider exercises until you've I want the rest of it and the exercising why I think this is only my opinion under is like a lot of people get hung up on exercises because the likelihood is you've got into this industry because you had your own radical transformation. Maybe you dropped a lot of weight. Maybe you rebounded back into a really wicked place after having kids. Maybe it liberated. Your lifestyle having had really high stress at work. I don't know. Maybe you got on stage. Maybe you got the beach, but I don't know any event, whatever running man had Marathon, but you've done something. Whereby you've done a number of exercises that helped put you in this transfer mate. Sorry. I don't like the word formation Place get my words out and and you have the transformation and you feel great. And so overall your belief or your story is but training is about exercises and it's got to be about funky sexy progressed exercises. And always looking for new golden exercise for the best exercise for most fun exercise when reality is as a trainer as a coach. It's for the last thing to get programmed in. Yeah, because if I know where the client starts and I'd start about 10,000 foot View and I look at it like a funnel those of you who are watching on YouTube. You see if my hands are like this, you know, imagine a country a v-shape imagine a funnel in it in a kitchen that you know, what actually is funner one at the top is A 10,000 foot down and the last thing to get programmed in his is exercises. You've got goals. You got measurements. You've got measure you've got current status yada yada yada also the intensity time and then type there we go smallest chunk but slackly and and in the grand scheme of things the same old exercises come out time and time again, because if you get everything else right and in the funnel, but fine, let's see the other tation the client will enjoy it because we're clients there. For results and actually that takes a lot of pressure out of your planning because now the reason you felt stressed and overwhelmed about all your planning was because you thought you had totally different new exercises every single time. If your structure stays consistent throughout you don't have to think about lots of new exercises. You just have to be consistent with your planning and your big overview make it appropriate for the goal. When a solar chicken dinner winner winner chicken dinner, so I would say that actually if you apply all those five principles Schools and those action steps that we just ran through you would have everything you need to be able to plan with Simplicity and structure and not have a chore so that you can avoid overwhelm and self-doubt when planning workouts for PT and I'll end on on on on one final thing, but it's bending in fact if I end it would be the final thing. It would be overwhelming just a feeling as is self. Now it comes and goes as quick as excitement and joy. Oi, okay. So the question is is when you think about planning are you overwhelmed and self-doubt about planning or are you overwhelmed in self-doubt about something else that you were thinking about two minutes ago? As one consideration? The next thing would be that the more you do overwhelming self-doubt as an emotional feeling can disappear very quickly. Yeah. Okay and final Point final final Final point is overwhelming self-doubt aren't a Bad Thing Bevis barometer. I'ma stop it says that's how I'm feeling right now. And that's okay. Yeah, why don't we what just because we perceive excitement and joy as a good thing. Why don't we have this conversation of how to avoid excitement and and joy when planning we don't have that as because that would be the antagonist everything works in pairs. Yeah light and dark yin and yang everything muscles biceps triceps and everything is pilot really works in pairs. Every opposite there's a whatever I'm really appropriate for every action has a reaction there. Okay, guys, what are you talking about? Why don't want to avoid this. So actually experiencing overwhelm is self-doubt is actually a really beautiful thing. It's actually a really nice thing to It's because what this is telling you is you need to go away and do a little bit more research a little bit more planning a little bit more repetition a little bit more volume. Just emotional feedback. Isn't it giving you an emotional feedback to say maybe I'm not I haven't got an ideal client at the moment, or maybe I'm not doing this the best way I can do and now you can apply our principles. Yeah, maybe maybe I'm I've not been applying fit and actually this overwhelm is actually telling me to go and learn more about Fitbit support. So Listen to this podcast we go so so don't see overwhelming self. That was a bad thing because it really isn't just the motion. It's just an emotion and it comes and goes as quick as excitement and joy, there we go. So with that said drop a comment below let us know you've enjoyed this one leave us a five star review.
