When To Change Your Program

Sometimes one of the most difficult things as a coach isn’t to create new training programs (that is pretty easy actually), but to get clients to stick to the training program they have for long enough to see the results of that program.

Somewhere along the line people have been led to believe that you specifically need to change up a program every four weeks…or sometimes even more frequently.

The reality is, however, that a program does not need to change based on a calendar timeline, but on how your body is actually responding to that program.

A program that changes based on a timeline is not truly individualized for you because it is being changed based on something that has nothing at all to do with YOU.

If a program is truly individualized, then it should change solely based on what happens with YOUR body and not an arbitrary numerical timeline.

This means that a program could change in four weeks or it could change in four months. The key factor driving this decision though should be YOU and YOUR outcomes and not an arbitrary amount of time that has passed.
