Though there may be many effective forms of training out there, the OptimalBody approach is different. Your typical fitness program, advertised in infomercials or described in magazines, assumes the person performing the workout has no limitations. The OptimalBody program understands everyone has a different starting point and that exercises may have to be modified depending on how you feel on any given day. What if you suffer from multiple sclerosis and experience symptoms of fatigue or neuropathy? Have COPD and lose your breath easily? Were diagnosed with cancer and are recovering from chemotherapy? How do you jump into a regular exercise program to build strength and regain your health? If the program is not adaptable to an individual’s fitness level, it will not work. It needs to be adjustable to a point where any person can have the confidence to begin, knowing they can work at their own pace and from a starting point that is safe for them. This is the basic concept of the OptimalBody approach to training.
