Kinesthetic (K) – Feeling/Doing

  • Learns best by doing

Teaching Application:
* Use words like “hold, feel, touch, thrilling, fun”, use the RPE Scale
* Avoid information overload, talk less and let them try it
* Ask questions, provide feedback

Cognitive (C) – Knowing/Understanding

  • “Give me the facts, just the facts”
  • Person learns best by asking questions, understanding the logic behind it

Teaching Application:
* Explain the relevancy of the exercise to the client’s specific life e.g. “this exercise will help you get in and out of your car”
* Use words like “Research has shown”, or “Let me explain”
* Let them ask questions and give succinct answers (avoid vague responses)
* Be prepared in advance with this client
