It's about time you knew what your coach is thinking of you. There are many times that your coach will want to tell you something that you will not like to hear, but that he does not finish taking the step because you are paying him. So, since many of them prefer to bite their tongues and clench their lips to avoid saying what they think, I'll reveal 8 phrases they hate when you say them.
Eye! It's one thing to be an honest coach, and quite another to be nasty. Don't take his advice personally either, he's just a professional who is giving you a different point of view than yours (and I know he doesn't usually like it).
"I dont like the vegetables"
Are you 4 years old? If the answer is "no," stop acting like a little kid. That phrase is not valid for an adult. Your coach doesn't care if you don't like vegetables and as an adult you have to do things correctly (even if you don't like them).
Honestly, I can't believe you don't like a single vegetable. I was also one of those who said that happy phrase, but I learned that my mistake was in not having tried all the vegetables. I assure you that you will like some, not everything is lettuce and spinach. Learn to eat like an adult, please!
"I don't like that exercise"
I think it's great that you comment on your impressions and feelings. It is very productive to have these "discussions" with your coach so that he can get to know you mentally and psychologically. What is not very beneficial is that you continually complain because you do not like the exercises. Your coach will not care if you complain, he will insist that you do the exercise and you will do it angry.
I know that this exercise that you hate so much is because it is getting out of your comfort zone and it is not pleasant, but if it orders you to do it, it is because it is good for you. Consider these types of workouts as the vegetables of the diet.
"What abdominal exercises do I do to have a tablet?"
This is one of the most torturing phrases for any trainer or gym instructor. Please, impress on yourself that “abs are born in the kitchen”. Yes, your marked abdomen will become visible because you have a low body fat percentage. And how is it achieved? Eating healthy, and vegetables!
Even so, the famous tablet is only something aesthetic. Sumo wrestlers, for example, have a strong abdomen, but not visible because of the layer of body fat. Stop asking questions about the six-pack, and start eating healthy and strength training.
"I have no time"
That's a lie, and you know it too. We have 24 hours a day: 8 to sleep, 8 to work, and the remaining 8? Don't say you don't have time when you really mean "it's not my priority."
If you consider that your physical condition and your health is not a priority, there is nothing more to discuss. It's your choice, so only use a coach when these two goals are a priority in your life.
"I'm like this because of my metabolism"
We all have one. Your trainer knows there are "fast" and "slow" metabolisms, but it's unlikely you'll be cursed with a slow metabolism. The most likely thing is that you are eating too much, inadequately and that you are not active. But if you still have doubts, go to the doctor to have your thyroid examined.
Stop using metabolism as an excuse and stop playing the victim.
«I have gone to train in the morning, in the afternoon and I have also done CrossFit at home»
How heavy! Stop bragging that you train all the time because what you are doing is overtraining. And guess what: it's not productive. If you are in this plan, your trainer will think that you have become obsessed and that you can commit some catastrophe. Training too much is not a "cool" thing, go home and rest.
«I have injured myself because of how hard I train»
Do you feel proud? Have you gotten wounds, bruises or calluses and the first thing you do is post it on your Instagram? Injuries are not fun and they are nothing to be proud of. Any injury is a symptom that you have not exercised correctly. Your trainer doesn't care if you've done a thousand repetitions of an exercise, he just wants you to learn to take care of yourself so you can train again the next day.
An injury will temporarily take you away from your training, is that what you want?
Don't ask for advice if you're going to say "I can't do that" later.
If you ask him, “Hey, how can I achieve [insert goal here]?” and he replies by saying, “What you need to do is – [insert steps A, B, and C]”; then don't follow the conversation to say that steps A and C are impossible for you. And please, spare yourself asking what simpler alternative exists. If he has recommended a formula, you do it and that's it.
Learn that you are not that special, your coach knows you perfectly and he does not have to readjust any routine.
