    It's taken me all day to get through reading this (5 kids on a Sunday and all :laugh: ) but that was very worthwhile! Thanks!
  • Thank you so much, SideSteel, Sara, and Steve!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Like him, my trainer wanted me to do more movement based things to get weight off quickly. I ended up not getting more sessions with him after I used up all of them. I'd rather do more heavy lifting than circuit training. I know it's slower, but it's a lot more fun. I'd rather enjoy myself along a scenic rout than take a busy, boring highway any day.

    Mmm, very helpful and interesting thank you. It makes me realise that my particular parameters (can't go more then 3x/week, family, aversion to deprivation and cardio) will limit what I can achieve - but that that knowledge will help me maximise it. Self realisation is a great thing!

    Hey everyone, thanks for the positive feedback and for taking the time to read through all of that. If there are any follow up questions I'd be happy to hear them.

    As an aside, I like the idea of using a CBT framework as a tool to assist clients. I have seen this (and similar modes) have great effects on anxiety and depression and related disorders, it would be interesting to see how you integrate this into your practice!

    I only bring it up with clients who are struggling. And when I do, my suggestions totally depend on the client. If you're really interested in CBT, I'd start with reading through Dr. David Burns book titled Feeling Good. It's chock full of a ton of great info and a number of tools that I use with my clients.

    I wouldn't say it limits what you can achieve. You can get a lean as your genetics and body allow with 3 available days for training. Of course the less you train the tighter you have to be nutritionally. But that's life, right... it's all about compromises.
