My wife has set me an "interesting"task - she wants me to act as her PT, to help her achieve her fitness and weight loss goals. Given my background this sounds like a great idea. The difficulty in this case, comes with separating us a a couple and us as a trainer and trainee.
This was vividly illustrated when I started to teach Melanie some martial arts basics. I started teaching her as I would a normal student. She got annoyed and started complaining that I was telling her what to do (I was in instructor mode), and I became frustrated that she didn't listen to my advise. Not an ideal situation.
This time, I am going to use a distance PT approach and do the program design, dietary recommendations, motivation and support, without actually doing the one on one training. We both think that this approach should be effective.
The training will start shortly after Mel comes back from her visit to Australia. I will keep you updated on how we go.
