Customizing Your Fitness Journey: Exploring Alternatives to Strength Training in 2024
Unsurprisingly, strength training remains my top recommendation for a holistic approach to wellness, it's essential to acknowledge that it may not be the perfect fit for everyone or in every circumstance.
There are plenty of reasons why you might opt out of strength training. I share how to adapt your fitness journey to your specific needs and goals.
Active Injuries
If you're currently dealing with an active injury, heavy lifting might not be the best option for you. In such cases, prioritizing recovery and rehabilitation is crucial before diving into a strength training program.
Post-surgery recovery
Individuals who have recently undergone surgery may have certain restrictions and need to be cautious about training with weights.
Prioritizing a sport
I have clients who are training for long distance races, for example, who want to prioritize their runs and recovery over strength gains for a training period.
Not having access to a gym
Not having access to a gym or just not right now might mean we shift focus to other forms of movement that are more accessible at the moment.
Feeling at max capacity already
Sometimes when our nervous systems feel taxed the idea of picking up something heavy feels like the exact wrong thing. In this case we might prioritize movement that supports stress relief before anything else.
If for these or any other reason, including being burnt out, movement programs can be totally customized and not focus on strength. Which is why everything I create involves fully individualized movement plans.
