Can we talk about the burn for a second? 🔥
Because it’s doing way more work than most coaches realize.
When a client feels a muscle working right away — especially in a booty or activation workout — something powerful happens.
It’s not just physical.
It’s psychological.
That burn says:
👉 “I’m doing this right.”
👉 “My body is responding.”
👉 “This is working.”
And that moment?
That’s where confidence is built.
Here’s what I’ve seen over and over again in coaching:
Clients don’t fall off because workouts are “too easy.”
They fall off when they feel disconnected, unsure, or like their effort isn’t paying off.
That’s why activation work … especially with bands … is such a game-changer.
✨ Constant tension
✨ Clear muscle feedback
✨ Simple movements done well
✨ Instant buy-in
When clients feel the work, they trust the process more.
When they trust the process, they show up more consistently.
And consistency? That’s where results actually happen.
So that booty burn everyone loves?
It’s not just a feel-good moment … it’s smart programming.
And here’s another reason band work works so well …
It’s incredibly joint-friendly.
Bands create resistance without heavy impact, which means clients can work hard, feel the burn, and build strength — without beating up their knees, hips, or lower back.
That makes activation workouts especially powerful for real-life bodies, busy schedules, and long-term consistency.
This is why I love starting phases with activation-style workouts.
Not because they’re flashy.
Not because they’re trendy.
But because they meet clients where they are and help them feel successful fast.
And here’s the coaching magic part most people miss…
When glutes are firing properly:
• squats feel stronger
• lunges feel more stable
• cardio feels more supported
• everyday movement feels safer and more confident
That burn you’re building?
It carries over into everything else.
Coach-to-coach truth 💗
Your job isn’t to crush your clients every session.
Your job is to help them believe in themselves long enough to stay consistent.
And sometimes, that belief starts with a burn they can feel right away.
