MY APPROACH
My training is based on an integrated approach. On the one hand the target is to train physical skills such as power, endurance, flexibility, coordination and balance. On the other hand I also take into account the mental health of my clients. We look for ways to reduce stress – by using individual relaxation methods suited to the client.
At the beginning of each coaching session I speak to my clients about what they want to achieve. Then we formulate precise training aims together. I develop practical work out sessions on this basis that focus on particular areas and take the individual requirements of my clients into account.
To enable clients to continue their training without professional support, I train their ability to recognize the signals their bodies give out. It is important that my clients monitor their actions before, during and after training: How does pulse change? How do the muscles feel? Does the stress level reduce? This way they are aware of the effect training is having. Their motivation increases.
POWER
Weight training is the prerequisite for many sports. It not only produces a resilient and powerful musculoskeletal system, but also prevents injuries and reduces wear and tear to joints. Anybody who trains their muscles regularly can offset stress to one part of the body and won't suffer as much from back pains. Weight training results in better muscle condition and strong bones even in old age.
Weight training …
- reduces body fat and shapes the figure
- increases body awareness
- increases daily performance
ENDURANCE
Regular endurance training ensures an increase in lung capacity and allows the body to absorb oxygen better. Sports such as jogging, cycling or swimming have positive effects. Anybody with good endurance can recover quicker after physical exertion.
Endurance training …
- reduces body fat and shapes the figure
- increases body awareness
- increases daily performance
FLEXIBILITY
Stretching your muscles regularly avoids stiffness and offsets stress to one specific part of the body. The body is also less susceptible to muscle and tendon injuries.
Stretching exercises …
- increase range of movement
- increase body awareness
- increase daily performance
COORDINATION
The human body is capable of countless movements. Regular coordination training helps to improve them and avoid incorrect weight bearing. The aim is to learn new movements or to combine current movements in a new way. In particular good coordination protects against falls or accidents in old age.
Coordination training …
- improves movement in sports, such as golf or tennis
- increases body awareness
BALANCE
Many sports require a good sense of balance. This helps spatial orientation, to adjust head and body posture to a certain situation and to move towards a specific goal. Those who train their balance also improve their supporting torso muscles or ‘core muscles.’
Balance training …
- strengthens muscular structure
- increases body awareness
RELAXATION METHODS
Anybody who wants to train effectively and loosen muscle tensions should make relaxation exercises a regular part of their sports activities. Whether it be autogenic training, tai chi, yoga or meditation: Every athlete must decide for themselves what method is the most effective.
Relaxation exercises …
- reduce stress
- reduce tension
- improve well-being
