Beyond The Squat: Exploring Behavior & Economics In Fitness - With Andrew Gavigan

Miscellaneous


When trainers create an exercise program they will consider a client's goals, develop certain objectives, then use what we call acute variables to design workouts. Repetitions, sets, resistance level, intensity, speed, range of motion, duration, volume.. these are all typically considered while designing a routine, but what's possibly even more important is what we call the Human Variable. In this episode of Beyond The Squat we are joined by Kinsey Mahaffey (http://www.trainfit.com/health-coaching/) and Andrew Page (https://theaxleworkout.com), two fitness professionals, who have some great insights in how to affect the human nature and motivation that keep people participating in those well planned workouts. We will discuss theories and devices like the economic man, window of principles, temptation bundling, and loss aversion. andrewgavigan.com
