    9. Did I Ask You What is Boring?

    Maybe you have heard this question in the title of this podcast from a woman who has lit up the internet impersonating her German grandmother. Funny stuff for sure! It got me thinking about something we don't talk about enough as fitness professionals, which is the entertainment value of our work with people. Ask yourself this question...do your clients find you interesting? Do they dread coming to your sessions not because of your exercise knowledge, but because you present a boring experience and they just aren't interested in spending time with you? Digest those questions while you listen/watch this episode. Dr. D's Link: www.doctordarianparker.com Dr. D's Affiliate: Get your flexibility back and prevent injuries with Stick Mobility.
