Thanks for your comment.

I'm a person with ADHD and I'm also a personal trainer, and I wrote this article based on my experience with dozens of ADHD clients. Specifically, I'm speaking from the experience of seeing what kinds of "homework" my clients tend to do and what they tend never to do.

It's easy to say, "ADHDers do better with rigid structure," without considering the economics of that statement. As a personal trainer I can provide lots of structure for clients to follow -- it will just cost them a lot of money.

For people who can't or don't want to pay for services of that variety, how much structure people get is a function of how much they can invent and enforce for themselves. And therein lies the rub.

As for your other points: I don't think people with ADHD have problems with interroception that are very different from the general population.

I've also seen a wide range of sensitivity thresholds for pain that range from "totally insensate" to "way too sensitive" -- again, this is well represented across the general population.

Clear guidance on what to do and how to do it isn't at odds with the idea of developing one's internal senses; these concepts go hand in hand. Everyone, from people who have good interroception and prioprioception to those who don't, needs to develop proper understanding of their form -- and that's outside the scope of this particular article.

Regardless, I agree rigid structure is helpful for people with ADHD. However, when people with ADHD cannot afford personal training they often fail to go to the gym at all because the effort of designing a whole program -- or choosing "the right one" from the 100s of different available programs -- overwhelms them and they never start.

I also find that when I give people with ADHD little programs to follow on their own, they adhere to them very erratically -- and then they tell me, full of guilt, that they didn't do their homework -- something I never judge people for, I just try to adapt and figure out what WILL work.

Whereas if I tell a client, "leave this resistance band attached to this table leg, and when you see it, do this leg left until you feel the burn," this advisory DOES get followed.

My article may not appeal to you personally, and that's totally fine. Again: thank you for your response.
