This episode discusses how to keep clients safe in Pilates based on scientific insights into injury prevention and the benefits of strength training.

Or Crossfit here Knees going in during a squat or lunge doesn't predict injury here Plus here are my TWO episodes looking at this topic here and here But what DOES predict injury: Having weak hamstrings here Having a weak barbell squat here Doing too little for too long, followed by too much too soon here and here And what protects against injury: Strength training is the best injury prevention here and here High consistent workloads protect against injury here Mentioned in this episode: Done-for-you client acquisition: This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: AdBarker - https://adbarker.com/privacy
