Breaking the Failure Cycle

• Failing to Plan is Planning to
  Fail
• From Bobby Knight

Breaking the failure cycle

• Most fitness programs were created to provide
  services for traditional gym participants such as
  body builders, athletes, power lifters and
  fitness enthusiasts
• Today most fitness participants are transitioning
  from sedentary lifestyles towards healthier goals

Breaking the failure cycle

• Most traditional fitness programs were not
  designed based on sound scientific principles and
  made assumptions about the participants that are
  not valid for today's clients.
• If you use a traditional fitness program and you
  are a sedentary adult you have a 50 90 percent
  chance of becoming injured in the initial six
  weeks of training.
