Fatigue Seekers

Some of my least favorite clients. They want to train until they puke. They want to be gasping for air for a full 60 minutes. They want to feel so sore the next day that they can't even take a seat on the toilet. They have no regard for their training program as long as they're exhausted at the end. No other goal, except to be tired. Well you know what? Any person can make anyone tired or sore. I could tell you to chase my dog around the block for an hour, stand there with my arms crossed, and I'm sure you'd be tired at the end of the hour. But does creating this feeling of fatigue end up in results? No. Seeking fatigue and getting results are not correlated. Results are created by a well though out plan that enables performance to improve from a workout to workout basis. After some workouts you may feel wiped out. After others you may not. But is your performance improving? Are you becoming leaner? Is the pain subsiding? These are the parameters you should be judging your workout by.
