TRAINING OR NOT REALLY?
 Let's
talk about training today. The idea, the point of training,
seems to have a different meaning for different people. As
a concept, training should have a much higher purpose than
it is currently assigned. But that's for later discussions.
What is "training" for you? Here's what it should
be - a process of developing of your various skills. (For
the purpose of this article, we'll simplify the definition
of "training" from the Pose Method® point of
view.)
Nowadays, training in general means practicing for a particular
sport. If you're a runner, you run a lot of miles (unless
you're a pose runner, then you're drilling), if you're a boxer,
you stick to a traditional boxing routine of skipping rope,
sparring, etc. But there is a lot more to the training process,
than that. In order to have sense and be effective, training
should have a goal. Training process goes deeper than a simple
plan of repetitions, it's a well crafted and well orchestrated
plan of taking an athlete to another level of perception and
another level of performance results.
Good training does not include torture by overdoing. If you
feel exhausted after your training sessions, it is not a sign
of a good training plan. Writing a training program is a very
intricate matter and requires knowledge and experience. Simply
throwing some acceptable numbers together, at best won't be
effective, but in the worst case scenario could cause serious
trauma.
Copying programs of elite athletes also doesn't work, because
every program is a very individual matter, where more than
half is based on the characteristics of each individual athlete.
So what works for Hunter Kemper or Lance Armstrong - won't
necessarily work for you or anyone else. While you can use
whatever program you wish, you have to understand that the
program has to be right for you, or it won't produce the results
you're hoping for.
At the end of the day, training is meant to make you feel
better, feel more and feel like you can do anything. Training
is supposed to reveal the possibilities, not define your limits.
