Are You Training or Typing?
Published August 27, 2009 by DrCobb
I had a conversation with a Z-Health Master Trainer this week that reminded me of the simple fact that most people prefer to talk and argue their point of view rather than listen and POTENTIALLY learn something. As Winston Churchill put it so eloquently, "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened." 
This is certainly not to say that understanding and defending your opinions and positions is always inappropriate, but rather to point out that our current internet culture gives people both massive opportunity, combined with nearly complete anonymity, to say whatever they think. If you are a part of forums, chat rooms, or other internet communities, you know this is true. As an educator, I am always astounded by the vast amounts of time that people will argue about very small technical details. The amount of time dedicated to internet warfare boggles the mind, and yet it virtually never serves the purpose for which it is intended, which is getting someone else to change their mind...
Being a bit more old school myself, I think that many people can learn far more about what they want to BE by training instead of typing. Unfortunately, the lure of anonymity combined with confrontation prevents many from seeing this. However, I saw this cartoon the other day that I thought beautifully summed up this problem. I think you will enjoy it as well:

Z-Health is cutting edge material that will give additional ways to treat patients or train clients. The techniques can work fast, but it is a process that you can use professionally and personally for a lifetime.

I cannot tell you how much I recommend the Z Health certifications. After attending the Essentials of Elite Performance, I’m dedicating 10% of all brain function to finding a way to fund my next 2 years of getting through all the certification levels, ha! I’m a very critical person, and I have high expectations (that are seldom met by continuing education classes), and Z-Health is jaw dropping, hands-down, 100% amazing.

Just try it, the Essentials of Elite Performance course is the one of the best athletic improvement courses and the most paradigm shifting course you can take for the cost. You will be amazed with the results.

You could not use your money in a better way. It is an investment in how you are going to live your life for the rest of your life if you want the best for yourself.
Bente, Denmark
The workshop was inspiring; it gives a fun, intellectually stimulating and satisfying approach to the human body and movement. It challenges a lot of ingrained beliefs and forces one to rethink the approach to training and teaching.
Erik, Denmark
Do it. It’s absolutely the best investment I have made in my career and life. Your whole world will expand and improve at the end of every workshop. There is nothing else out there like it that I have found.
Leslie, Los Angeles
Do you want to be a part of the future of the fitness industry? Gotta go to “Z”.

I needed CEUs for my NASM re-cert, but I was very excited about this workshop after having been bored by many others before it. Now it is more than a CEU quest; it has changed my view of training profoundly. I look forward to continuing [my] education and certification with you! The best workshop I have ever taken – REALLY!
Karen, Maryland
I 100% recommend Z-Health to anyone who is serious about becoming the best professional they can be.
Thomas, New Jersey
All of life is discovery. Why not discover how movement can improve everything you do physically?
Gary, Colorado
I think you guys are awesome. Passionate, articulate instruction and ample opportunities to get feedback on my performance and teaching made this a great experience.
Mark, New Mexico
I would highly recommend Z-Health. It will change your view of what you do, no matter what you do. Don’t hesitate.
Henri, New Hampshire
Awesome! I like the fact that you guys are able to present on such complex topics and still manage to do so in a language that everybody can understand. Extremely good content and good balance between theory and practice.
Tommy, Denmark
I move better; I feel better; I find movement fun again. It’s like the thrill of being a kid again. Movement becomes a thrill and a joy. If we are interested and willing, we can get better with age and good training. Z-Health is essential for good training.
Ron, California
The rabbit hole goes much deeper. Z-Health is much more than a joint mobility system.
Michael, Illinois
If I get one idea [from a workshop] and implement it, it’s worth it. This workshop gave me hundreds of ideas and I want to implement them all. I’ve absolutely never had more value for money and I’ve done a lot of workshops.
Rob, Netherlands
If you want to truly get out of pain and improve every function in your body (including the problems you aren’t aware of) then this course is priceless. You can’t buy a perfectly functioning body.
Jenny, Edinburgh
"Suffice it to say that if not for Z-Health, I would have given up on the idea of living a life free of pain and one of happiness. "
