So You Wanna Get “Toned?”

If I had a nickel for every person that comes to me with this goal…I’d be able to retire at 28. I would say that 9 out of 10 people that come to me for help with their training program want to get “toned.” My goal today, is to dispel the myth of toning and show you why the magazines and media have it all (mostly) wrong.

My Personal Training Philosophy

Before I get into my personal training philosophy I have to make a clarification. To me, a philosophy is a Magnum Opus. The things I stand by day in and day out. The things that I’ll always believe in make up my philosophy. It’s kind of like morals and fundamentals. They’re always there for me to fall back on. Beyond my philosophy is my methodology. My methods are things that change when I learn something new. Some things change more frequently than others, but the bottom line is that my methodology is what I have when I put pen to paper.

Torso Training with the Medicine Ball

I first started using medicine ball training when I was doing my internship at a physical therapy clinic. I loved the fact that patients and clients could throw them as hard as possible and they would come right back to them. The upper body plyometric nature made them so versatile. Fast forward a few years and the use of medicine ball training has become a lot more mainstream. You’ll probably see them in most fitness facilities across the nation, but the question is, are they being used properly? I’m not saying there’s a right and wrong way to use medicine balls in your training program, I just believe there’s a good way and a better way to integrate them.
