My Personal Training Philosophy

Posted by Jaison Naiker on June 30th, 2010

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 majority of the clientele are upper-class males with desk jobs. I love working with my clients, and I love educating them on what will help them not only for their short-term goals but in the long term also. For those of you that are flying through the gym solo, I want to help you, I really do, I just need you to forget everything you thought you knew about fitness and exercise and take this journey with me.

Strength Coach and personal trainer Nick Tumminello has come up with an awesome variation of the very popular Bird Dog exercise. If you visit any gym in the Seattle area, you’re bound to find someone doing the bird dog. Most of the time though, it’s being done incorrectly. As you’ll see in Nick’s video below, this is a great way to prevent lumbar spine extension during the movement.
