🏋️♀️ The Non-Negotiable Assessment
Stop guessing, start assessing!
Exercise physiologist Rebecca Jorgensen insists that giving a client a workout plan without a thorough assessment “doesn’t make sense”.
You wouldn’t build a house without a blueprint, so why train a body without a detailed plan?
Rebecca’s methodical approach for new clients ensures safety and effectiveness. It includes three core steps:
1. Intake and Paperwork:
Reviewing past injuries, medications, and little details that might “pop up”.
2. Physical Assessment:
Checking range of motion, imbalances, or weaknesses in specific muscles to see if things are “outta whack”.
3. Exercise Testing Assessment:
Determining strength capacity (e.g., finding a weight clients can do for five reps in a row to guide programming) and testing aerobic capacity.
This meticulous approach is essential for identifying true client needs and creating personalized plans.
