Personal training
1&1 Concept
Personal training is a service focused on improving people’s health, getting them into healthy habits, and helping them prevent injuries and treat them when they are there. It also aims to improve the athletic performance of both athletes and amateurs, as it covers all areas, from improving fitness, rehabilitation, muscle strengthening to athletic performance.
1&1 Concept. The coach is guiding the client throughout the workout, planning the sessions according to their needs in order to improve their health as soon as possible. During the training he accompanies her in the execution of the exercises, constantly correcting her in order to do a safe training both at the joint and muscular level, and to achieve the achievement of her goals.
Muscle strengthening
Rehabilitation
In a motorcycle accident in 2016, when I was reconsidering competing in triathlons and had just had my second child, a car knocked me to the ground with the misfortune of crashing into my kneecap, fifth broken phalanx and shoulder subluxation, all on the right side.
I have that moment etched in my mind, being able to play it in slow motion. When I fell to the ground, I thought I had nothing broken, but when I looked at my leg, I saw that a bone was not in place.
Delicate moment in the hospital, mother of two children with one of only five months and another of two years, personal trainer where my physique is fundamental for my work, and sportswoman… comminute patella fracture…
You need surgery!
The world collapsed, and even more so because the injury was caused to me by someone else, I didn’t do it myself by training or competing. It seems to be the same, but psychologically it is not.
Two days after the accident, I was in the operating room: a key to join the ball joint, a hoop to join all the broken parts (which were a few) and two hooks to fix it above and below.
Six weeks of immobilization! At the fourth I start rehabilitation every day, two hours a day (you have, magneto therapy, passive mobilizations, ice …)
Throughout this process, you have days of everything. Some days you are happy because you see a bit of progress and others you feel frustrated because you see the days go by, and the knee does not gain degrees of flexion.
During the process, I was not only left with the rehabilitation they do for you in the public health, but I went to physiotherapists who did Indiba for me and worked on my knee joint. For the first two months, along with the muscle activation technique that accompanied me throughout the process, the joint gained active range of motion and was activating all the muscles. I also trained to gain strength. I am very fortunate to be surrounded by good health professionals, and because of them and my effort and sacrifice, my rehabilitation process accelerated.
My strength training was based on working all those muscles that did knee flexion to gain rank with the “slow training” method, and then gaining strength from both the flexors and knee extensors.
A year of “irons” became four months; from not being able to bend my knee more than 90 degrees, to flexing it almost 100%, and from not being able to run, to running half-marathons and winning my first race after the injury, just a year later.
With injuries, like everything in life, you have to be consistent, give your best, train, suffer, don’t give up, think you will succeed, don’t stay where you are told you will get, but don’t think about it that nothing will be the same again.
Cheer up and think big!
