Training without back worries: Honer
Honer enjoys training again. Without the thought that his back is going to hurt.
“I move better, I walk better, I train better.”
Honer tells his story (86 seconds, in Dutch)
Long days standing
Honer is 36, lives in Rijnsburg and is a chef. He has worked in the kitchen since he was fourteen. And he loves to move.
“You’re on your feet for a long time. 12 hours, 10 hours, sometimes even 14 hours, which really wears your body down.”
Two years ago he started intensive training. Then he noticed he was getting a lot of lower back pain.
“Because of the pain, I couldn’t stand for long.”
He could not do his work properly either. He did not finish training sessions completely, or did not do them well. “It is really frustrating.”
Looking first
Honer asked coach Jari for information he can take with him for the rest of his life.
“To see how my body stands. How I breathe. How I walk.”
We call this kind of analysis of your posture and how you move the Body-APK. It is also how Unlock Motion starts, our small-group programme.
From light to more
“Then we started with light exercises. Ab exercises. And it has now been expanded more and more to training several muscle groups at once.”
That is what they are working on now. Honer already calls the difference huge.
“I have become more aware of tightening my abs and my glutes.”
He enjoys training again, “without thinking: oh, my back is going to hurt”.
His advice
The outlook is good, Honer says. “I recommend this to everyone.”
About the coaches, and Jari above all, he says they know a great deal about it and can tell you everything.
“That is a great source of information. And you can never discover it by yourself.”
I’m taking this with me for the rest of my life.
