Knowing the purpose helps the client concentrate on the right muscles and understand why the exercise matters to their goal.<\/p>\n<h3>The four parts of a good demonstration<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Starting position: how to set up, including stance, posture and grip where relevant.<\/li>\n<li>Movement: how to perform the action smoothly and under control.<\/li>\n<li>Breathing: when to breathe in and out, and not to hold the breath.<\/li>\n<li>Finishing position: where the movement ends and how to return safely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Demonstrate, explain, practise<\/h3>\n<p>A reliable teaching sequence is to demonstrate the exercise at normal speed, repeat it slowly while explaining the key points, then ask the client to try it while you watch. Position yourself so that the client can see you clearly, and also check the client&#8217;s movement from a suitable angle.<\/p>\n<h3>Use simple, clear language<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid long explanations and complex terms. Give two or three key cues at a time, such as &#8216;chest up, knees in line with toes, push through your heels&#8217;. Too many instructions at once overwhelm beginners.<\/p>\n<h3>Understand technique before increasing load<\/h3>\n<p>Clients should understand the technique before increasing the load or intensity. If a client cannot perform an exercise with good technique using bodyweight or a light load, adding weight will only reinforce mistakes and raise the risk of injury.<\/p>\n<h3>Check understanding<\/h3>\n<p>Ask the client to describe how they feel during the movement and ask whether they have any questions. Watch for signs of confusion, such as hesitation or repeated mistakes, and demonstrate again if needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A well-written plan is useless if the client cannot perform the exercises properly.
