One of my clients from the gym, that has been seeing great results, has been pretty much overriding my advice and training suggestions as of late. She’s even gone as far as to take advice from some guy that has been foolish enough to engage in the P90x program. I do not doubt the programs validity, but there are techniques used in the program that are unsafe and could easily lead to injuries. As I look to my upcoming certification this summer, I am really being careful not to violate any of the rules and regulations laid down by the organization I will be certified through, as they would revoke my certification and black list me from future certifications.
[Update] I watched the plyometrics part of P90x and I am certain that I am not going to be training anyone using the methods they show. That series is essentially a standard exercise tape, like any other. The only difference is that there are 12 of the DVDs. The guy hosting it makes me want to slit my wrists when I watch him. I’m going to have to break it to her that if she is interested in pursing this form of exercise, she will need to pursue it on her own time, as I will not be training anyone using these techniques.
