Dr. Shannon O'Grady - The Chemistry of Nutrition Jan 28, 2023

There is a famous saying that abs are made in the kitchen; what it means is that no matter how hard you exercise, if you are not following a proper nutrition protocol, you may not get the results that you want. The purpose of the food we eat is to provide specific nutrients that we need for optimal health and performance. The nutrients themselves cause a number of chemical reactions in the body that could either increase lean muscle mass or torch unwanted fat. Dr. Shannon O'Grady, the Chief Product Officer for Gnarly Nutrition, describes the benefits of supplements and how they support your exercise efforts. Dr. O'Grady explains the chemistry behind nutrition and which supplements could help achieve certain results. It's all about the science of supplements on this episode of All About Fitness.

Dr. Bill Ferro - The Health Benefits of Reducing Chronic Inflammation Nov 25, 2022

Time. Equipment. Not knowing what to do. These are all common excuses for not getting results from an exercise program; however, one important thing missing from this list, the issue of chronic inflammation. Inflammation is your immune system's natural response when fighting an outside invader like a bacteria or promoting the healing process after tissue has been injured. Acute, or short-term, inflammation is your body working to heal itself. Chronic, or long-term, inflammation can actually work against you and cause a number of negative health outcomes that could keep you from experiencing results from an exercise program.

Dr. Bill Ferro is a chiropractor who realized that chronic gut inflammation was effecting many of his patients and keeping them from becoming completely healed. Dr. Ferro realized that helping his patients to first reduce inflammation in their digestive tract was a key component to helping them heal from their other health issues. As a result, he developed the Betr Health protocol to help his clients improve their health from the inside-out by reducing gut inflammation. It's important to note that among the many health benefits of reducing chronic inflammation are losing unhealthy bodyweight and improving results from exercise. The Betr Health protocol is so successful at helping individuals to improve their health by reducing chronic inflammation that is used by many health insurance programs seeking to improve the health of their members. Dr. Ferro discusses the negative health outcomes caused by chronic inflammation, shares how he created the Betr Health protocol and offers some simple suggestions for what you can to do reduce inflammation in your body. It's all about achieving better health by reducing inflammation on this episode of All About Fitness.

Coach Kevin Carr - Benefits of Functional Strength Training Nov 08, 2022

Not all strength training is the same; lifting a barbell is different than swinging a kettlebell and using a set of dumbbells provides a completely different workout than using a machine. To make sure that you are doing the best exercises and workouts for your goals, you should first have an understanding of how the human body is designed to move and the different ways that it can be challenged with exercise.

Kevin Carr is a Boston-based performance coach, educator, massage therapist, author and a co-creator of the Functional Strength Coach Certification that teaches how to design strength-training programs for the way the body is designed to move. Coach Carr works with Coach Mike Boyle, the founder of Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning, a facility that helps individuals from professional athletes to septuagenarian grandmothers improve their ability to perform their favorite activities (Coach Boyle has helped the Boston Red Sox and Boston University Men's Hockey win the World Series and National Championship, so they know what they're doing) and that has been recognized by Men's Health as one of the top gyms in the U.S.

Kevin is also the co-author of Functional Strength Training Anatomy, a book that explains how to strengthen your body by using the muscle the way they are designed to work. On this episode, Kevin talks about the difference between bodybuilding and performance training and why you should be doing the latter instead of the former. In addition, he shares how some of your muscles actually function (not the way you think) and the types of exercises that you should be doing to help them become stronger so that you can perform your best. It's all about how to improve your ability to move on this episode of All About Fitness.

Smarter Workouts: The Science of Exercise Made Simple chapt 2, part 4 Nov 04, 2022

ALL successful exercise programs have one thing in common: they adhere to the established principles of exercise program design. It's true, any experienced strength coach or personal trainer can watch any workout and know within a few minutes whether the person who designed it knew what they were doing or not (in many cases, it's the latter). Very similar to the craft of cooking, there are specific principles that dictate how an exercise program should be designed and formatted, and if you know how to cook then you should be able to learn how to design your own exercise program. Chapter 2, part 4 of Smarter Workouts: The Science of Exercise Made Simple explains the variables of exercise program design and why each one is important for helping exercise make the desired changes to your body. It's all about how to design the workouts that change your body on this episode of All About Fitness.

Dr. John Krakauer - The Neuroscience of Human Movement Nov 01, 2022

Do muscles really have memory? How does your brain tell which muscles to move and how hard they should work? Is it possible to learn how to shoot a basketball like Steph Curry? Dr. John Krakauer is a professor of Neurology who runs the Center for Motor Learning and Brain Repair at Johns Hopkins University (he's a smart dude who knows why and how we move).

Dr. Krakauer is an expert in the field of neurophysiology which is the science of how our brain controls our movements.

Gray Cook - Functional Strength Training Nov 01, 2022

Living in 2022 is great: we can have almost anything we want delivered to us by simply swiping our phones; however is this much automation a good thing? As humans we were all born knowing how to move, but modern society has evolved to a point where movement is not necessary, the result is that many of us are simply moving less. When we move less, we lose our ability to move well which could result in an injury when we exercise.

Gray Cook is a physical therapist and strength coach who has helped many elite athletes to dominate their sport. Years ago, Gray identified the lack of coordinated movement as primary reason why many athletes fail to achieve success or become injured; as a result, he and his colleague, Dr. Lee Burton developed the Functional Movement Screen as a system for classifying movement ability. Gray talks about the Functional Movement Screen and how it can be used to identify potential muscle imbalances that could become an injury. Originally. recorded in the fall of 2017, learn all about the role of functional movement in your strength training program on this episode of All About Fitness.

Gary Gray - the Father of Functional Training Oct 17, 2022

Functional training is a popular fitness phrase that can mean different things to different people. Coach Mike Boyle describes functional training as training for a purpose, but in reality, functional training simply refers to an exercise program that is designed to help you move and perform better as opposed to simply looking better.

The traditional approach to physical therapy is for a therapist to work on the joint or body part that is not working or in pain. Gary Gray is a physical therapist who needed a way to help his patients without having to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on equipment; since he couldn't afford expensive muscle-isolation machines, Gary focused on helping his clients by treating the entire body as opposed to just a particular body-part or joint as a result, the concept of functional training was born (this was the 1980s, btw).

Gary Gray has evolved his approach of working with the entire body and created the Gray Institute to teach physical therapists, personal trainers and strength coaches how to help their patients and athletes move more effectively. This episode, originally recorded in 2017, discusses how your body is designed to function and identifies ways that you could be exercising more effectively.

Smarter Workouts: The Science of Exercise Made Simple, chapt 1, part 1 Sep 27, 2022

Smarter Workouts: The Science of Exercise Made Simple was written to help you understand how exercise changes your body and the most effective exercise solutions to help enhance your quality of life. Chapter 1 of Smarter Workouts is titled, "How Exercise Changes Your Body" and organizes exercise into three main categories: force production (which includes the entire spectrum of endurance, strength and power), mobility and metabolic conditioning.

Muscles control physical force in your body; when a muscle contracts it produce a force to move an object, when a load is heavier than a muscle can control, it responds to that external force by lengthening. In the first part of How Exercise Changes Your Body, you will start learning about how your muscles work and the most effective ways to use exercise to make them more efficient at generating force.

Tip: form follows function; helping your muscles to perform more effectively is the first step towards helping them look their best.

Dr. Lee Burton - Functional Strength Training May 14, 2022

The human body is made to move, all of the joint structures and muscle attachments are aligned to allow our muscles to harness energy from gravity while walking. When 4 legged animals are born, they know how to walk almost immediately; when a human is born, it takes about a year to learn how to walk. When was the last time that you saw a baby doing crunches or biceps curls? The human body is programmed to move as an integrated system of many muscles working together so exercise programs that focus on one muscle group at a time work against our inherent physiology.

Dr. Lee Burton is a founder Functional Movement Systems and one of the leading experts on understanding how and why that humans are designed to move. Dr. Burton helped create the Functional Movement Screen to provide a system for coaches and personal trainers to help athletes train with a lower risk of injury. On this episode, Dr. Burton talks about how the body is designed to function and shares why it is so important to take a movement-first approach with your strength training program. It's all about movement with Dr. Lee Burton on this episode of All About Fitness.

Quick Fit Tip - Time to Change Your Workouts Mar 20, 2022

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. When was the last time that you changed your workout routine? There is a paradox with exercise: performing the same exercises at the same level of intensity for too long could result in a plateau and changing exercises too frequently does not provide enough stimulus for the results that you want.

This Quick Fit Tip explains the benefits of changing your workouts on a regular basis and provides an easy schedule for how you can do just that.

Strength Coach Angelo Gingerelli - Resistance Training for Endurance Athletes Mar 05, 2022

Do you do your favorite activity to get in shape OR do you want to get in the proper shape so that you can enjoy your favorite activity? This is a question that I always ask cyclists or runners; because the fact is that many endurance athletes absolutely LOVE their sport but don't always train the proper way to achieve success or avoid injury. Resistance training can not only build strong, good looking muscles, it can also help to improve overall stamina AND stronger muscles are also more resistant to many common injuries. Angelo Gingerelli is a strength coach at Seton Hall University and a running enthusiast; Coach Gingerelli knows that runners have no problem putting in the miles but need some help in the weight room which caused him to write the book, Finish Strong: Resistance Training for Endurance Athletes. Coach Gingerelli talks about the benefits of resistance training for endurance athletes and how the proper workouts allow you to receive the maximal enjoyment from your favorite sport. It's all about how to reduce the risk of injury on this episode of All About Fitness.

Mark Salamon - From Mechanical Engineer to Physical Therapist Dec 31, 2021

There are two types of people who go to physical therapy: those who LOVE to be active and might overdo it which results in an injury and those who are not active but become injured as the result of some sort of trauma. The goal of a physical therapist is to help a patient return to optimal function as quickly as possible. Since many people are in pain when seeing a physical therapist it can be a challenge to engage them and help them learn how to use exercise to heal the pain. Mark Salamon is a physical therapist who uses humor to help put his patients at ease. Mark wrote a book, Does it Hurt When I Do This?: An Irreverent Guide to Understanding Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation which uses humor to help the reader learn more about their body and how to keep it pain-free. On this episode of All About Fitness, Mark shares how we went from studying mechanical engineering to the human body and how that relates to one another; in addition he offers his insights on how you should workout and which exercises to avoid so that you can enjoy your favorite activities while remaining injury-free. Get ready for a fun and irreverent conversation that will help you to learn more about how your body functions!

Sue Hitzmann - Self-care for Your Muscles Nov 24, 2021

Have you ever felt stiff or sore for no reason? Yes, you may exercise, lift weights, get your heart-rate up and push yourself during hard, high-intensity workouts, but when was the last time that you did anything specific for your fascia and connective tissue? There are two types of muscle tissue, the contractile component that generates force and the elastic element that transmits the force around the body; it's this second type of tissue that is often overlooked with many traditional fitness programs. When your connective tissues don't function properly, it can change how your entire body functions which can result in long-term, nagging injuries.

Sue Hitzmann is a manual therapist who created the MELT Method to reduce the amount of stress that accumulates in your muscles and soft-tissues during exercise so that you can get the results that you want from your workouts. Recorded LIVE at a fitness education event for the first time since 2019!!! - Sue provides insights on how our connective tissue is different than muscle and shares why it is so important to focus on self-care for your connective tissue so that you can achieve optimal health through movement. Learn all about how your body is designed to move on this episode of All About Fitness.

In 2001, Sue Hitzmann was inspired to create “homework” for her clients, which led to the development of the MELT Method – the first-ever form of Hands-off Bodywork®. Now with her bestselling book and the products Sue personally designed, anyone, anywhere, can take steps to restore whole-body efficiency and lead a healthier, more active life. Sue has appeared on the Dr. Oz Show, Nightline, The Rachael Ray Show, Good Morning America, andLive! with Regis and Kelly, and MELT has been featured in publications such as SELF, More, Prevention, and the New York Times. She has empowered tens of thousands of people to live healthy, pain-free lives and has trained over a thousand instructors to share the secrets to pain-free living.

Quick Fit Tip - How to Avoid Common Exercise Injuries Nov 11, 2021

Exercise is physical stress imposed upon the body; when you do it the right way, you can get the results that you want, however, exercise done the wrong way could result in an injury that keeps you from your goals. Muscles generate force. Fascia and elastic connective tissue transmits that force through the body; it's often these tissues that become injured which can keep you from being able to workout. This Quick Fit Tip identifies what you should know about your fascia so you can avoid injury.

On this episode, Aimee and I talk about how to encourage your kids to be active; Aimee has a young son and I have 2 daughters in elementary school.

Jay Glazer - How to be Unbreakable Nov 03, 2021

Physical health can be relatively easy to address because issues like cuts, sprains or broken bones are easy to identify in order to start the healing process. Mental health, however, is a different story and because emotional trauma does not express itself the same way as physical trauma it can be a challenge to address in a timely manner.

Professional athletes and members of the military are often young, fit, healthy and possess an extreme drive to succeed at the highest levels of human performance which means it can be a challenge to admit vulnerability, let alone discuss when life might become emotionally overwhelming. Both retired combat veterans and retired professional athletes deal with similar issues - how to stay focused and continue to move forward when your mission in life changes drastically and there is a real risk of suicide among both populations. Jay Glazer is a professional reporter who covers the NFL for Fox; he is also a retired martial arts competitor who started the Unbreakable studio to help high performing individuals to train for success. Jay also started Merging Vets and Players (MVP), a program that holds conditioning workouts that double as support groups for both retired soldiers and athletes so these individuals can support one another in an effort to achieve optimal mental as well as physical health.

On this episode of All About Fitness, Jay talks about his experience in martial arts, how he leveraged that to start Unbreakable and discusses the impact that the MVP Program is having on helping veterans and retired athletes address their mental health.

Dr. Jeremy Loenneke - How Blood Flow Restriction Causes Muscle Growth Oct 12, 2021

Muscles generate force to move the body and when used repeatedly, they can increase both size and force output (strength). It's generally accepted that resistance training is the most effective way to enhance size and improve strength, however there is an ongoing quest to find ways to speed up the process. It sounds dangerous and counter-intuitive but the practice of restricting blood flow out of working muscles while exercising with light weights has been shown to be extremely beneficial for promoting muscle growth.

Dr. Jeremy Loenneke is an Associate Professor of Exercise Science at the University of Mississippi who studies muscle fiber physiology. As one of the leading researchers on the topic of blood flow restriction, Dr. Loenneke has conducted a number of studies on how blood flow restriction stimulates muscle growth; we discuss his findings and he offers his insights into how BFR can be implemented into your workout programs. On this episode of All About Fitness, it's all about the science of how blood flow restriction causes muscle growth.

FOLLOW THIS LINK - To hear the interview on blood flow restriction with Dr. Jim Stray-Gundersen, the creator of the B Strong brand of BFR bands.

Quick Fit Tip - Self Care and Blood Flow Restriction Oct 09, 2021

When was the last time that you put yourself first? No, not in a selfish, narcissistic, 'me-first' way but when was the last time that you allowed yourself to make your own personal needs a priority? Self-care is important; whether that's taking a few minutes a day for quiet meditation, going to the doctor for an annual visit or turning off your devices to enjoy some screen-free time with family or close friends. The first part of this Quick Fit Tip discusses the benefits of self-care and why it's important to make your health needs a priority. The second part of this Quick Fit Tip discusses the science of blood flow restriction training and how it could help accelerate the results from your strength training workouts.

Debra Atkinson - There IS Life After 50 Sep 28, 2021

Once upon a time 50 seemed like it was old; however once 50 happens it quickly becomes evident that it's just another number. While you still might feel strong and energetic, it is important to recognize, however, that your body will be going through some changes. Men over the age of 50 will experience andropause, lower testosterone production, and women over the age of 50 will experience menopause, the cessation of the ovulation cycle. The good news is that exercise can help reduce the effects of these age-related change in our bodies. Debra Atkinson is a former university professor who hosts the Flipping 50 podcast and runs online fitness programs for women who are experiencing menopause. On this episode of All About Fitness, Debra talks about the changes a woman will experience in both perimenopause and menopause, the types of exercise that could help manage those changes and provides important insights on how guys can be supportive during this stage in a woman's life. This episode is full of valuable information, especially if you happen to be born before 1971.

Quick Fit Tip - Smarter Workouts Sep 21, 2021

Lifting weights, cardio, flexibility, mobility, high-intensity, low-intensity, interval or steady-state there are many different ways to exercise, and from enhancing your health to sculpting muscles to improving athletic performance each can provide specific benefits. It doesn’t matter what type of exercise you do, but if you want the benefits from your efforts, the two most important things are being consistent and exercising to the point of mild discomfort. The one common denominator from any type of exercise is that it will stimulate a response from your endocrine system which produces hormones, the chemicals that control how cells function. This Quick Fit Tip, straight from Smarter Workouts: The Science of Exercise Made Simple, will help you to understand more about the hormones that are responsible for controlling how your body functions.

Tony Horton - Age is Only a Number Sep 14, 2021

Why do you exercise? Some are motivated to look better. Others may want to optimize their health. While still others may want to enjoy their favorite activities, including exercise itself. Why not do all 3? Yes, you can exercise to look better. Yes, exercise can improve your health. And, YES, exercise itself should be fun! Tony Horton knows how to achieve all three; famous for his passion for fitness and his highly successful (and very effective) workout programs that include P90X and the Ten Minute Trainer, Tony has now set his sights on helping you to improve your nutrition with his line of Power Life supplements. Tony credits his love of exercise, his mindful approach to nutrition and how he recovers from his workouts with helping him to maintain a high level of fitness throughout the aging process.

Now in his 60s, Tony is still a ball of energy and loves pushing himself with a variety of challenging workouts that includes his new passion of crushing obstacle courses. On this episode of All About Fitness, Tony shares how he got started in the fitness industry, how he evolved to become one of the most influential personal trainers, his tips for staying consistent with your exercise program and what he does to maintain a high level of fitness at an age when most people are slowing down. This is a riveting and motivational conversation that will help you to realize that age is only a number and that you are the only obstacle that can limit what you are able to achieve.

Kathy Smith - How to Stay Fit and Look Great at ANY Age! Sep 07, 2021

The modern fitness industry began in the early 1970s. The folks who have been working out consistently since exercise became popular are now in their 60s and 70s and have completely redefined the aging process. Kathy Smith has been a fitness icon ever since Ronald Reagan was President and MTV actually played music videos; she has promoted the benefits of an active lifestyle through books, exercise videos, TV shows and now a podcast. Now in her late 60s, Kathy is as active as ever and enjoys her favorite activities like running as well as learning new ones like surfing or uphill skiing (yes, that's a thing) thanks to the benefits of regular exercise like strength training and yoga.

On this episode of All About Fitness, Kathy shares her insights for how she has used exercise to take control of the aging process, the workouts she credits with giving her the strength to maintain an active lifestyle (and look amazing while doing it) and how you too can use exercise to live your best life no matter your age. This is an inspirational and riveting discussion with one of the true titans of fitness.

Dr. Gil Blander - Understanding Your Body from the Inside-Out Aug 27, 2021

When you strength train, you know exactly how much weight you are lifting. When you go for a run, you know exactly how far you travel. You use a thermostat to measure your temperature. A heart-rate monitor allows you to quantify how hard you are working when you exercise. Data lets us know exactly how our body is performing, but are you collecting the best data to ensure that your lifestyle habits are the right ones for your body's specific needs?

InsideTracker is a company that tests specific biomarkers in your blood to provide you with data about how your healthy lifestyle is affecting your body. The company’s proprietary system is used by elite athletes to ensure that they are achieving the highest level of performance possible for their respective sports. You too can use the test to access to the same information on the best nutrition, exercise and lifestyle interventions for your body's needs.

Dr. Gil Blander researches the biology of aging and, more importantly, applies his discoveries into new ways of detecting and preventing age-related conditions. He received a PhD in biology from the Weizmann Institute of Science and completed his postdoctoral fellowship at MIT; alongside top scientists in the fields of aging, genetics, and biometrics, Dr. Blander helped create InsideTracker in 2009 to provide the resources to understand the human body from the inside-out. On this episode of All About Fitness, we'll learn all about the benefits of quantifying your body's health with Dr. Gil Blander, the Chief Science Officer for InsideTracker.

DeMarcus Ware - What it takes to be a Super Bowl Champion Aug 20, 2021

Football is the most popular spectator sport in the United States. From the time training camps start in the summer until the Lombardi trophy is hoisted by the victor of the Super Bowl in the depths of winter, Americans are consumed with following their favorite teams and players. While it looks easy on TV, playing football at the collegiate and professional level requires an amazing level of athleticism, conditioning and hours of off-field preparation for every 60 minute game. Not to mention the fact that from proper nutrition to tissue therapy to sleep, preparing for optimal performance on the field requires players to make significant investments of time and money so they can be physically prepared to perform their best.

DeMarcus Ware was a first round draft pick by the Dallas Cowboys who helped the Denver Broncos win Super Bowl 50. Since retiring from the NFL DeMarcus has earned a personal training certification and now runs 3 Volt, a fitness studio near Dallas, TX. On this episode of All About Fitness, DeMarcus talks about his reaction to being drafted by the Cowboys, the amount of work it takes to be an elite professional athlete and how you can train to achieve your highest level of performance.

Roy Holmes - Preparing to Succeed in Professional Football Aug 10, 2021

There are only 32 teams in the National Football League; each team maintains an active roster of 55 players with 14 more individuals on the practice squad for a total of 69. This means that of all of the athletes who have ever played football at the high school or college level there are only 2,208 positions available at the professional level. Earning a spot on a professional football team takes a tremendous amount of innate athletic ability, years of hard work and practice and finally, impressing decision makers at the annual scouting combine where coaches have an opportunity to meet with players and put them through a battery of mental and physical tests. College players who hope to matriculate to the professional level have to impress the scouts and coaches at the combine, and in order to prepare, many work with conditioning facilities like Exos to look their best for the opportunity.

Dr. Jay Dawes - Training the Tactical Athlete Jul 06, 2021

Fire fighters, law enforcement, first responders and military have something in common with professional athletes: they rely on their bodies to be able to perform their jobs and should have a high level of fitness to operate at their highest level of ability. The term 'tactical athlete' refers to those professions who have to use their bodies while serving others; some days tactical athletes may be required to operate a high pressure hose, while on others they may be required to remove a 300 pound person from a car wreck and on other they may have to scramble up hills to create a defensive fire break. Over the past number of years an entire field of study has developed around helping tactical athletes prepare for the ever-changing demands of their jobs. Dr. Jay Dawes is an Assistant Professor at Oklahoma State University who conducts research on and consults with law enforcement and first responders. On this episode of All About Fitness, Dr. Dawes talks about how the field of strength and conditioning has evolved to include tactical athletes, how they should prepare for the demands of their jobs and shares insights that he has learned from his years of conducting research on these high performing individuals. This is an informative and engaging discussion that will have you thinking differently about those who puts their lives on the line to protect and serve.

Quick Fit Tip - Fitness for the Tactical Athlete Jul 04, 2021

Over the past 20 years a whole new category of fitness has evolved: conditioning programs that meet the specific needs of military and first responders. Other than the fitness requirements to get hired, many departments did not have specific fitness protocols and the employees were left to working out on their own, often following bodybuilding programs that did not adequately prepare their bodies for the physical demands of their job. September 11, 2001 identified a need for first responders to possess a high state of fitness to handle any challenge they might face in the line of duty. In response hundreds of millions of dollars of federal aid was made available to help fire departments update their exercise protocols.

In addition, after almost two decades of continuous combat operations, much of it in urban environments, most of the branches of the military have changed the way they physically and mentally prepare for operating in the field. The fact is that whether fighting a fire, working a car accident, dealing with an aggressive criminal or conducting combat operations in an urban environment, first responders and military personnel are often required to move like athletes so they should be doing exercise programs that will prepare them for the demands of their job. Over the past decade or so, exercise programs for military and first responders have evolved to help these individuals train like the athletes that they are; this Quick Fit Tip introduces you to exercise for the tactical athlete, a brand new, and essential, category of fitness.

Yes, consistent exercise is important, but the quickest way to get the results you want from your workouts is training like an athlete.

Applying the same mindset to your workouts means following training programs that can help you to optimize your ability to enjoy your favorite activities while minimizing the risk of injury. Tony Gentilcore is a strength coach in Boston who helps his clients learn how to use fitness to achieve their best life.

Vance Hinds - How One Word Can Change Your Life Jun 26, 2021

One of the greatest things about exercise is the power that it has to change lives. Yes, looking good is important, but having the health, strength and ability to enjoy life and do all of your favorite activities, or fall in love with new ones, is even more important. Vance Hinds is an attorney from Texas who used to weigh 475 pounds; like many people he struggled with the ability to stay on an exercise program until one day he finally 'flipped the switch' and made his health a priority in his life. Vance decided that one word would guide his mission to improve his health and 3 1/2 years later he has made remarkable progress; in fact, Vance's journey has created such tremendous results that he has become a social media influencer and has recently written a 90-day Exercise Journal to help others change their lives. On this episode of All About Fitness, Vance shares what motivated him to change his life and the one word that has made all of the difference. Be ready to be inspired on how you can use exercise to change your life!

Dr. Anthony Balduzzi - The Fit Father Project Jun 04, 2021

Once a man becomes a husband and father it can be easy to become so focused on work in order to provide for the family that things like health and wellness take a backseat. Unfortunately in many cases it's not until a catastrophic health event like the diagnosis of a disease or a heart attack that a man realizes that he has overlooked his health. In some cases it is possible to avoid a disease by adopting healthier lifestyle habits, unfortunately in many cases there is not a chance to make a change and the result is an early death. Dr. Anthony Balduzzi lost his father at a young age, but he took that experience and turned it into the motivation to focus his life on helping others improve their health, first by becoming a doctor, then by starting the Fit Father Project and the Fit Mother Project so he could help as many people as possible.

The Fit Father and Fit Mother Projects are online communities where people can learn how to make healthier life decisions. On this episode of All About Fitness, Dr. Balduzzi shares about how the loss of his father motivated him to help others avoid the same tragedy. We talk about the mindset required to make health a priority in all aspects of your life and Dr. Balduzzi shares what he has learned from the participants in the Fit Father and Mother Projects that could help you to live a healthier life. This is an uplifting and motivational conversation about how to live your best life so that you can enjoy it with the ones you love.

Angie Asche RDN - Nutrition to Fuel Your Body May 30, 2021

A healthy diet for an active body needs ALL macronutrients, specifically: protein for tissue repair, healthy fat to support physiological functions and carbohydrates to provide energy for high-intensity activities as well as supporting muscle growth. Food is fuel for your body; if you like to exercise and being physically active then you need the proper nutrition so that your body can perform its best while you're enjoying your favorite activities. With so much mis-information about fad diets and which foods are best for you it's hard to know where to go or who to trust for advice. Angie Asche, RDN is a sports and performance dietitian who started Eleat Sports Nutrition to provide her clients with evidence-based nutrition advice so that they can function at their highest level of performance. Whether you want to lose weight, add lean muscle mass, train for an athletic competition or to simply look better in your bathing suit, what you eat makes a big difference in the results you get from your workouts.

Angie wrote the book, Fuel Your Body: How to Cook and Eat for Optimal Performance to help readers learn how to identify the best nutrition for their needs. On this episode of All About Fitness, Angie discusses why it's so important to get nutrition from credible sources, provides important insights on the proper nutrition for different fitness goals and shares time-saving strategies for how to eat healthy with a busy schedule.

Dr. Joan Ifland - Processed Food Addiction May 29, 2021

Alcohol, drugs, gambling. shopping, sex and food are all known addictions; however one category is missing - that of processed food. Yes, that's right, not just food but processed food. Many processed foods have been chemically engineered to have the same effect on your brain as drugs like cocaine or heroin. It's important to realize that if you find yourself craving processed foods that is NOT a mistake because there is a multi-billion dollar industry working against you. Dr. Joan Ifland studies how processed food is engineered to cause addiction and, more importantly, what you can do to break that addiction.

On this episode of All About Fitness, Dr. Ifland talks about how processed food manufacturers follow the practices of the tobacco industry to get you addicted to low cost, calorically-dense food lacking any real nutritional value. You will learn steps you can take to beat that addiction and use nutrition to move towards better health.

Pete Moore - Understanding the Finances of Fitness May 21, 2021

The purpose of a business is to generate a profit by delivering a product or service to customers. The primary business model of the fitness industry is based on collecting monthly membership dues to have access to a facility to use the equipment and/or take instructor-led exercise classes. Because the membership model can provide a consistent revenue stream, over the past 15 years or so private equity and finance groups have become more involved in the fitness industry. One result of the 08-09 recession that disrupted financial markets is that fitness operations became viewed as businesses that could generate consistent revenue even in tough times.

Pete Moore is the founder of Integrity Square, a firm that connects entrepreneurs with capital resources to expand and grow their business. Pete discusses the strength of fitness as a business, identifies different ways that investors look at opportunities in the fitness industry and discusses how the post-COVID future of fitness could evolve. Look into the future by understanding the finance of fitness on this episode of All About Fitness.

Bobby Congalton - The Science of Developing Athletes Apr 30, 2021

Once upon a time the prevailing thought was that athletes should AVOID lifting weights because adding muscle would reduce their athletic ability which explains why football players had two-a-day practices and baseball players had spring training; they had to get in playing shape for their respective sports. Now in 2021 most high school athletes receive better strength and conditioning coaching than pro and collegiate athletes did as recently as the 1990s.

Bobby Congalton is a founders of 1RM Performance, an athletic conditioning facility located in sunny, suburban San Diego. Bobby applies the science of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization to first help his athletes move better; and once they move better he uses the conjugated method of training to help them become stronger and more explosive.

The results are amazing; Bobby has helped a number of athletes progress from playing in high school to competing on a college team. In addition, he has helped some make the transition to playing at the professional level. On this episode of All About Fitness, Bobby talks about how he uses the conjugated method help his athletes succeed and his secret for identifying whether or not an athlete has what it takes to compete at the highest level of his or her sport.

Katy Bowman - Movement is Counterculture Apr 28, 2021

Regular physical activity is essential for optimal health, especially for children who crave activity. Exercise is physical activity for a purpose, while general physical activity includes all of the daily tasks related to living such as walking to the store, taking the stairs or doing yard work. Even though modern technology has sought to remove the need to be physically active, there are still opportunities to build daily habits around physical activity.

Katy Bowman is a biomechanist, the author of Move Your DNA and a public speaker; in her latest book, Grow Wild, she presents a number of different solutions to help the whole family move towards better health by adding more activity to daily habits. Katy joins this episode of All About Fitness to talk about how the lack of movement affects us both physically and mentally and provides solutions for how we can stack more activity into our life. Learn how adding more activity can enhance your life and what you can do to achieve that on this episode of the All About Fitness podcast.

Mike Fitch - Creator of Animal Flow Apr 22, 2021

Mike Fitch is a movement coach and personal trainer who realized that while lifting weights can build a strong body, too much could cause injuries. In an effort to find a way to strength train with a lower risk of injury, Mike began experimenting with different types of bodyweight exercises. Starting with gymnastics and evolving into parkour, hand balancing and even break dancing, he ultimately developed a method of bodyweight exercise based on how animals move, hence the name Animal Flow.

Flow refers to a psychological state where you are immersed in an activity and focused only on the present moment which is a perfect name for a challenging system of exercise using only bodyweight movements. On this episode of All About Fitness, Mike shares the story of how he created Animal Flow, discusses the benefits of bodyweight exercise and identifies ways that you can start moving towards a healthier, stronger body. This is an educational and engaging discussion that will have you rethinking how you move when you exercise.

Episode 81: Fabio Comana Dec 31, 2017

When was the last time you walked into the gym to train your hormones? Exercise is physical stress; when the human body experiences stress it initiates the production of hormones, chemicals that regulate how various tissues in the body function in response to that stress. Every time you exercise you are manipulating the hormones in your body.

On this episode of All About Fitness, Fabio Comana and I discuss the various hormones produced in response to exercise and how they make specific changes to the various systems in your body. Fabio is a professor in the Exercise Science and Nutrition Department at San Diego State University, travels the world to educate personal trainers about the science of how exercise affects the human body and is hands-down one of the smartest people I know. After listening to this episode you will gain a new understanding of how the body produces various hormones in response to exercise as well as the types of exercises you should be doing to make the changes you want in your body. To learn much, much more about how the body responds to exercise, check out the textbook that Fabio helped write and edit: Exercise Physiology (Foundations of Exercise Science).

Episode 51: Natalia Petrzela Jul 17, 2017

The past six Presidents of the United States, Barak Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Cinton, George HW Bush, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, have had one thing in common: each enjoyed exercise. The past number of White House residents were each shown participating in favorite fitness-based pastimes from jogging to basketball to weightlifting to mountain biking and from selecting Arnold Schwarzenegger for the President's Fitness Council (HW Bush) to hosting yoga on the White House lawn (Obama) each played an active role in setting a positive example for health and fitness.

Both in and out of office President George W. Bush has set a positive example for an active lifestyle.

On this episode of All About Fitness, Assistant Professor of American History and Co-host of the Past-Present podcast, Natalia Petrzela, and I discuss the role that Presidents have played in establishing promoting a healthy and fit lifestyle. This is based on the excellent article that Dr. Petrzela wrote for the Washington Post on President Trump and his well-known diet which is does more to expand the waist line than shrink it and is far from a positive example of healthy.

President Reagan with Arnold Something-or-other

The discussion specifically focuses on the role that the occupant of the Oval Office has played in helping set a positive focus on health and fitness. From Teddy Roosevelt boxing with his Secret Service protection to John F. Kennedy calling Americans 'soft,' over the years most Presidents have understood that they have an important role in promoting good health in our nation. If you are both a history and fitness buff you will really enjoy this discussion of Presidential fitness habits on All About Fitness.

Episode 50: Matt Berenc Jul 12, 2017

Why would you hire a personal trainer? Would it be based on looks or knowledge? Just because a trainer looks great does not mean that he or she has the skills to help you optimize your level of health and fitness. It's important to remember that exercise is stress applied to the body; when done correctly you can achieve awesome results. If applied incorrectly exercise can cause injury or be fatal. When it comes to working with a personal trainer you want to make sure you select one who knows what the heck he or she is doing. On this episode of All About Fitness I interview Matt Berenc, the Director of the Equinox Fitness Training Institute (EFTI) about the education process required for ALL of their trainers.

Matt Berenc giving a talk on how to optimize human performance.

Equinox is widely for having one of the best, most comprehensive education programs in the fitness industry. The company knows that education is the best way to enhance the member experience while strengthening employee engagement and retention. If you've ever wondered why you should hire a personal trainer and how they could help you maximize the results from your workout program you will enjoy this insightful episode of All About Fitness.

Not all health clubs are the same; many have similar types of equipment like treadmills, free weights and machines, but what really sets one health club apart from another is the environment, the education of the staff and how that creates a unique member experience. When was the last time someone from your health club or gym talked about understanding how exercise affects the human genome? David Harris is the Vice President of Health and Human Performance for Equinox, an upscale health club company with locations in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. Among his other duties for the company David chairs the Health Advisory Panel for Equinox which includes neurologists and molecular biologists who study how exercise affects the human body down to the cellular level.

Episode 48 Quick Fit Tip: All About Fitness Certifications Jul 08, 2017

Did you know that currently ZERO states require personal trainers or fitness instructors to have a license? Did you know that you need a license to cut hair or do nails (non-living tissue) yet anyone can simply call his or herself a 'fitness expert' and begin dispensing advice that could potentially be deadly? On this Quick Fit Tip of All About Fitness I explain the fitness certification process and why you should only work with instructors that have earned an accredited certification or have a college degree. As someone who currently does freelance work for two of the largest fitness certification organizations and teaches personal training courses in college (ok, junior college, but still) I offer unique insight and background into the process and why you should only be working with certified fitness professionals.

For 15 years I've been educating personal trainers and fitness instructors around the world to help them earn and maintain their professional certifications.

Back in the early 2000s the fitness industry agreed to an accreditation standard for fitness certifications (the National Commission for Certifying Agencies - NCCA run by the Institute for Credentialing Excellence - ICE). Since then health clubs have been advised to hire personal trainers and instructors with a certification accredited by the NCCA but this is only a suggestion and NOT a legal requirement.

Some health clubs have rigorous standards for hiring personal trainers and fitness instructors and offer extensive continuing education to ensure they are delivering the highest level of service possible. However at other health clubs trainers and instructors are often hired based purely on their appearance and are allowed to teach or train without having any existing credentials.

Why does this matter? Exercise is physical stress applied to the body, when done correctly it can impose the desired adaptations such as weight loss, muscle growth or improved definition. However, if an exercise program is too intense or too technically challenging at best it could cause an injury and at worst it could be fatal. On this episode I explain the education and certification process and tell you what you should be looking for when seeking the services of a trainer or fitness instructor. As one of my favorite quotes says: 'Now you know and knowing is half the battle.'*

Here are the largest (and most popular) certification organizations - in alphabetical order. Each one provides information on the certification process and has search engines to help you to find certified professionals in your area:

American College of Sports Medicine

American Council on Exercise

National Academy of Sports Medicine

National Strength and Conditioning Association

REPS - Registry of Exercise Professionals - You can check here to see if your trainer or instructor has an accredited certification.

Episode 47: Jessica Matthews returns Jun 29, 2017

On this episode of All About Fitness my former colleague from the American Council on Exercise and wellness expert Jessica Matthews returns to discuss her book: Stretching to Stay Young. There are three components of a well-designed workout program: strength or resistance training to increase lean muscle (and improve definition), energy system development (often mistakenly called 'cardio') and flexibility - often overlooked in favor of the other two components. In our discussion today, Jessica and I address the role that flexibility plays as an integral component of well-designed exercise program and how the right types of stretching can help reduce pain, improve physical performance and stave off the effects of the biological aging process.

It's always fun to catch up and hang out with Jessica when we're speaking at the same events

Jessica is a college faculty, PhD candidate, content contributor to well-known fitness magazines, international speaker and now a book author. I have known Jessica for the better part of a decade, consider her a good friend and have a tremendous amount respect for her contributions to our industry so I always enjoy the opportunity to sit down, catch up and talk shop. Besides discussing the science of stretching our conversation covers common mistakes could keep you from reaching your fitness goals.

Episode 46: Quick Fit Tip Jun 29, 2017

There are three primary components of any workout plan: strength or resistance training, energy system development (often mistakenly called 'cardio') and flexibility, or more appropriately, mobility training. Doing too much of any one of these components at the expense of the others could mean that your exercise program will not produce the results you want it to; additionally, if you want to how leaving a car in your backyard is relates to a proper, well-designed exercise program, tune in to the episode of All About Fitness.

Exercise should be a balance between strength training to help develop lean muscles, mobility training so they function properly and energy system development to ensure they have the proper fuel for activity. Or this is just an opportunity to stick in a gratuitous Arnold pic.

Strength training helps improve muscle force production. On the podcast I explain why cardio is a misnomer for how we exercise to improve aerobic capacity or anaerobic efficiency and flexibility is not exactly the most correct term to describe what is going on when we stretch. On this Quick Fit Tip I explain some of the proper terminology and why each component should be an important part of a successful workout plan.

Quiz: True or False - this is the best way to stretch your muscles

Muscle imbalances can occur from repeating the same movement too frequently or from lack of regular movement; movement-based mobility exercise programs can help eliminate muscle imbalances and ensure proper joint function. To learn more see my blog on the topic I wrote for the American Council on Exercise.

There are two types of muscle tissue in the body: the contractile element responsible for generating force and the elastic component that distributes it around the body - to learn more about the difference and why we should be paying attention to our fascia read my article on the topic here

Answer: False, moving upright through a variety of different movement patterns, like in a Tai Chi kata, can be the most effective way to stretch and lengthen both types of muscle tissue.

Episode 45: Clifton Harski Jun 24, 2017

How many times have you seen an advertisement for a fitness product or exercise program and wondered, "Does that really work?" On this episode of All About Fitness I talk with Clifton Harski about how to identify fitness programs that work and how to determine which ones are complete nonsense. We also talk about awesomeness - I'm not sure about you, but I am always interested in how I could be doing things a little better and Clifton is one of the most awesome guys I know so we discuss strategies on how to be more awesome. Clifton is the Director of Fitness Programming for Fitwall - a unique studio training concept THAT WORKS, as well as an educator responsible for teaching kettlebell and Animal Flow workshops to personal trainers. Clifton is a hella smart guy who knows how to design exercise programs that deliver results so his advice can help you identify workout programs to meet your needs.

Clifton is not only a cool guy, he's pretty freaking strong

I've gotten to know Clifton through his social media posts and consider him to be one of the most creative guys in our business; he creates killer, science-based workout programs for Fitwall and his social media videos and pics always crack me up so if you're looking for ways to make your life a little more awesome, he's the right guy to help you identify how. This video clip of Clifton recreating an old-time barbell workout from the era of physical culture is only one of the things that make him AWESOME!

This pic of Mr. Harski in his 4th of July workout gear shows him in ALL of his innate awesomeness; a little cheesy? Yes - but having the confidence to pull it off is what makes it great!

Interested in what the heck a FitWall workout involves? Check out this video clip featuring Clifton and the FitWall team. Clifton is a Master Trainer, meaning he trains personal trainers, for both Kettlebell Athletics and Animal Flow.

Here's the backstory on this interview: as I started the podcast one of the pieces of advice I read was to have a couple of interviews saved for when you need to post a podcast and didn't have anyone scheduled. We had this conversation after a killer kettlebell workout next to the beach in San Diego and I saved it until now - the reason I'm launching it now is that Clifton and his wife (standing on his back above) just introduced a new bundle of awesomeness to the world, congratulations guys - hope you survive the experience.

Episode 44: Giovanni Roselli aka Romeo Roselli Jun 21, 2017

Adding muscle, improving definition or just simply looking better are popular reasons for starting a workout program. The past few episodes of All About Fitness have featured guests who specialize in a movement-based approach to exercise because, whether in sports or activities of daily living, moving better is the foundation for everything else from performance to appearance. Exercise programs that focus on movements like squats, lunges, pushes and pulls as well as multi-planar patterns are not only important for athletic performance but can also help produce a shredded physique. In an effort to discuss how the two approaches can merge to produce the results you want from your workouts I reached out to professional wrestler turned personal trainer and health coach: Giovanni Roselli.

Giovanni aka Romeo Roselli doing his thing in the ring

This was a fun interview for me because as a kid growing up in the 80s I was a huge (at the time) WWF fan. To me the wrestlers were real-life superheroes capable of amazing feats of strength and athleticism and were one of the inspirations for starting on my fitness journey in the first place. Giovanni and I met a few years ago and while I don't follow professional wrestling anymore I still have a tremendous amount of respect for the men and women who put it all on the line for their fans. It has been fun getting to know Gio and talking training, specifically how to balance the competing interests of training for performance AND physique.

As a wrestler Giovanni competed in the WWE and other circuits under the name Romeo Roselli; he now works as a personal trainer and health coach to help other people learn how to practice healthy behaviors like exercise and getting a good night's sleep. Gio is not just a personal trainer, he is also a master trainer responsible for teaching workshops on how to use exercise equipment like the ViPR and Core-Tex as well as being an ambassador for Pt on the Net - the leading online education resource for personal trainers. If you're not familiar with the ViPR, a relatively new and unique strength training tool, check out this video of Gio with the Trevor and Shawn from Genesis Performance.

As a trainer Gio created the Fully Loaded group fitness program for Equinox health clubs.

On this episode of All About Fitness we talk about how he trained as a wrestler - a major challenge given the travel and appearance schedule and how he exercises now that he is working full time in the fitness industry. We also talk about the importance of exercise programs that can help you to both look good and improve your overall quality of life. Getting results from strength training requires more than just lifting heavy - it's also extremely important to know a few training strategies that can help ensure proper muscle adaptation.

In this episode Gio and I discuss a number of exercise programs, including:

Institute of Motion and the 4Q Model of Exercise Programming and

Animal Flow

AAF 43 Quick Fit Tip Athleticism Jun 21, 2017

How can we judge the best athletes in the world? On this Quick Fit Tip edition of All About Fitness I talk about what it takes to be the world’s best athlete and what that means for your personal exercise program.

CrossFit positions itself as the sport of fitness. Ironman Triathlons and Ultradistance events challenge individuals to use their own energy to travel for more than 100 kilometers during a single competition. Endurance athletes, as well as CrossFit competitors, can be extremely fit and well conditioned, but these sports are based on cyclic, repetitive actions that don't require reacting to an opponent’s movements. Having the cognitive ability, speed, agility, strength, power and stamina to react to — or anticipate — an opponent’s movement can significantly elevate the demands of a competition.

Extreme sport athletes like big wave surfers, free climbers and mountain bikers have incredible skills and risk their lives for the love of their sports but may not always have attributes of endurance, strength and power required to truly be considered the best in the world.

My personal vote for the best athletes in the world may surprise you. Keep in mind that an extremely important component of athleticism is reaction - how do you react to a constantly changing environment or opponent? it’s one thing to be able to run an incredible distance or lift a tremendous amount of weight but in most of those competitions there is no reaction to the movements of an opponent trying to get the best of you.

You can learn from some of the best athletes in the world how to make your workout program more comprehensive so that you not only improve your overall fitness but have more fun in the process.

Episode 42: Jim Bathurst Jun 15, 2017

On this episode of All About Fitness I reach out to another connection from my DC days and talk about bodyweight strength training and how to make fitness more inclusive with an old friend: Jim Bathurst, currently the Master of the Training Universe for Nerdfitness.com

His name is Bathurst, Jim Bathurst

Jim and I met a number of years ago when we both were doing some work with Balance Gym (one of my favorite places to sweat - EVER). He always impressed me with his positive attitude, approachable demeanor and he could do some KILLER bodyweight exercises that are a true testament of strength.

Over the years it's been fun to watch Jim evolve into a leader in the industry where he is now playing an important role for an important website working to make fitness more inclusive for people who might not normally be considered exercise junkies. Nerd Fitness.com is working to gamify fitness to make it more accessible for people who might prefer interfacing via computer as opposed to real life.

Our discussion today talks about tips for bodyweight strength training and how we can make fitness more inclusive for everyone, especially those considered nerds (in the interest of full disclosure I consider myself a nerd of exercise science).

Episode 41: Quick Fit Tips Jun 12, 2017

On this episode of Quick Fit Tips I talk about how exercise and fitness should be inclusive for every single person, no matter what they look like or the size of his or her body.

The point of exercise is to improve one's own health and wellness; not for how you look on a social media post or dating website. In my twenty years of working in the fitness business the only negative feedback I have is that we are an industry that is driven by image, not necessarily by message.

Fitness is for every BODY - regardless of age, size or socio-economic background!

Far too often companies will use images of fit, lean, muscular models (I'll hit this topic on the podcast) as a means of marketing a product or service. I get it - companies want to create the image that if you use their product or service then you will look like the models featured in the ad.

Why is this important?

Why are we in the fitness industry so driven by appearances?

In my opinion fitness is having the physical ability (physical literacy +work capacity) to do what you want to do when you want to do it. That's it.

In this Quick Fit Tip I talk about why inclusivity is so important and why we in the fitness industry have an obligation to be welcoming to every person regardless of existing physical condition or appearance.

The next time you see a heavy or overweight person working out in a health club think to yourself: "we all started somewhere." A person in a health club is taking the right steps (often literally) on a journey towards self-improvement, we have an obligation to be supportive and encourage their efforts.

Remember:

We all have our 'why.' Yours may be different than mine, but we are all working on making ourselves better one day and one trip to the gym at a time.

My good buddy Jamie Atlas, the owner of Bonza Bodies in Denver and the tallest Aussie I know, recently posted an important meme:

for those reading on iTunes the meme says:

"Making fun of a fat person at a health club is like making fun of a homeless person at a job fair. Don't make fun of people who are trying to better themselves."

Whether it is in a health club, studio, indoor cycling room or outdoor workout at a park - What can you do to be more welcoming to the next newbie that you encounter? We are the lucky ones, we LIKE to sweat and enjoy the feeling of accomplishment at the end of workout; let's help others get to that same place.

Here's the story about the former model who received probation for taking a picture of a woman changing in a health club locker room. SHAME on her (GoT reference):

Episode 40: Juan Carlos Santana Jun 01, 2017

If you have been a health club member for the past twenty years you may or may not have noticed a major shift in how fitness facilities are laid out and the type of equipment used for workouts. Up until the early 2000s gym culture was heavily influenced by bodybuilding culture, most of the equipment was designed for muscle isolation because that's what consumers wanted. Nowadays when you walk into a commercial gym you are likely to notice a lot of open space and a lot less equipment; my guest on episode 40 of All About Fitness is Juan Carlos Santana a gym owner, strength coach and educator who has had a major influence on this evolution in the modern fitness culture.

Juan Carlos is the owner of the Institute of Human Performance, which has been named as one of the top gyms in the country by Mens Health, he is an international fitness educator, the star of numerous fitness videos and the author of many articles and books including Functional Training (which I highly recommend if you're looking for some ideas to kickstart your training program).

Juan Carlos Santana

Let's face it, training for a bodybuilding competition or even to look like a bodybuilder takes a tremendous amount of work and simply isn't relevant to how many people live. What happens is that often people will focus on their favorite muscles or the ones they think will most impress potential suitors and the result can be an overuse injury or muscle imbalances. Using one muscle group at a time is a great way to get a pump but just isn't that exciting or engaging for people who only have the ability to workout a few times a week.

Someone's been skipping leg day!

In the early 2000s Juan Carlos was one a number of fitness educators promoting the concept of functional training which can be described as training for a purpose. The principle of specificity tells us that our body will adapt to the specific forces imposed upon it; sit in a machine to isolate a muscle and only that muscle will get strong. Using your whole body to move in all three directions is a much more effective way to develop strength in many muscles at the same time.

A big component of Juan Carlos' education was how to take the strength and conditioning techniques normally used by high performance athletes and apply them to the average adult population. This was ground breaking stuff in the early 2000s One of the most significant features of functional training is that it focused on training multiple muscle groups at the same time via using movement patterns as opposed to the bodybuilding approach of focusing on only one muscle group at a time. If you work with a trainer today, whether or not they know it, they have been influenced in some way by Juan Carlos.

Juan Carlos was a major influence on my career; it was an honor to sit on a panel with him at the ASIA Fitness conference in Bangkok in 2015

I think I went to my first workshop with Juan Carlos back in '99 or '00 where he actually put me through something call the dumbbell matrix (I volunteered for it) which was a multi-directional circuit that got my heart rate cranking using only 25 pound dumbbells, that got me hooked. From then on I learned as much as I could about functional training and focused on helping my clients move better using equipment like stability balls, medicine balls and resistance tubing. My clients loved the fact that they were getting a great workout using their whole body instead of just sitting in a machine pushing a lever or lying on a bench struggling with a weight.

In our discussion today on All About Fitness, Juan Carlos and I talk about recent fitness trends, the benefits of training like an athlete, the pitfalls of training like a Kardashian and, most importantly, how exercise can slow down the aging process; since IHP is located in Boca Raton, FL and Juan Carlos works with a lot of older adults - he kinda knows what he's talking about.

Episode 39: Quick Fit Tips May 29, 2017

Once upon a time when you walked into a commercial health club you saw row after row of treadmills and strength training machines. The only constant is change (someone smart said that, but I'm not sure who), nowadays when you walk into many health clubs or fitness studios you see a lot of open space and very few, if any strength training machines.

That was then: commercial fitness used to be machine driven

The original health clubs and fitness facilities were influenced by the bodybuilding culture so the focus was on equipment for muscle isolation so users could get their swoll on and hit their GAINZ. Over the past fifteen years or so there has been a tremendous shift and while many commercial gyms still have some strength training equipment they have gotten rid of extraneous pieces to create open spaces for members to move.

Episode 39 of All About Fitness talks about how this change came about, who influenced it and, most importantly, how it benefits YOUR fitness program!

This is now: many modern facilities feature plenty of open space and lots of different types of free weight equipment to challenge ALL of the muscles in your body at the same time

(This is from Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning; Mike was a guest on episode 34 and his facility has repeatedly been voted one of the top gyms in the US by Mens Health)

Episode 37: Quick Fit Tip Apr 19, 2017

One interesting thing about the fitness industry is that media and non-industry friends are always asking about the newest, latest, great workout product or program. For some reason when it comes to the commercial fitness industry it seems like we're always on the lookout for the 'next big thing' whether it's a product like the TRX or branded program like CrossFit; as a result we often overlook what really works to establish a foundation of good health: consistent exercise and smart nutrition choices.

Fitness is only part of the puzzle, other lifestyle habits like nutrition, amount of time spent sitting, sleep, hydration and total amount of daily physical activity all play important roles in helping to create optimal health. When it comes to which exercise program works the best, here's what ALL good, educated fitness professionals know: EVERYTHING works, if you do it the right way and you adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors at the same time.

That said, it is fun trying to predict future trends. When I first picked up a kettlebell in 2003 I know it was going to become popular but I didn't think I'd be able to buy one at big box retailers. When I did my first CrossFit workout in 2005 I thought it was a fun, challenging workout to provide the benefits of high intensity training but I never thought that we would be watching CrossFit competitions on TV. The point is that I can sometimes tell when things are going to be a popular fitness trend but I underestimate how popular.

14 years after picking up my 1st kettlebell and I'm still swinging away

Whenever I’m at a large fitness event like the IHRSA trade show or IDEA World Conference I always ask colleagues and other attendees about any new equipment or trends that are catching their eye. As people tell me about the products or programs they’re noticing, or sharing their ideas for what the next fitness trend will be, one thing always occurs to me: rather than always looking for the next ‘best thing’ in fitness we should be focusing our efforts on doing the basics right. From Ashtanga yoga to indoor cycling to Zumba it seems as if the popularity of fitness is at an all-time high yet we seem to always be looking for the next trend.

It can be tough to guess exactly what will happen in the future (if I could do that I’d be working on Wall Street or fleecing the casinos in Vegas) but here are my best educated guesses on the fitness trends we’ll be seeing over the next year or two.

1. In 2017 the online workout-video-on-demand category will expand as companies evolve from offering pre-recorded workouts to providing instructor-led workouts live-streamed from a popular studio in real-time as they’re happening. Popular video-on-demand service The Daily Burn is leading the way in this category allowing three friends in a living room in Decatur, Georgia to follow along with a live workout being taught in a studio in mid-town Manhattan.

2. What is old is new again. Thanks to products like the Mace from companies like Onnit one of the recent trends has been a return to ‘ancient’ strength training techniques used by the original generation of strongmen and militaries. Various militaries, like Germany in the 1700s, were the first to popularize group fitness as a means of preparing soldiers for battle. The Mace is a heavy tool used for hand-to-hand combat but it also creates an extremely effective way to train for total body rotational strength. Yes, my first glimpse into the future is all about new tech and this one is all about a return to ancient techniques; but when it comes to fitness there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution meaning different modes of exercise will be attractive to different types of people.

The one arm press was made famous during the era of physical culture; Arthur Saxon could lift over 200 lbs. (95-ish kilos) with one arm.

3. Social media platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, Periscope and Facebook Live provide fitness professionals with the opportunity to promote their individual brands and connect with thousands of people around the world. Over the next year we will see more trainers use social media platforms to extend their ability to get people moving. In addition we will start seeing trainers and fitness models who have cultivated a strong social media presence (think tens of thousands of followers) leverage their extensive networks of followers to create revenue streams for themselves by promoting various fitness products.

4. Building community through health clubs. One reason why Starbucks has been so successful (besides selling legally addictive stimulants) is because it creates a third space that is neither work nor home but a location to hang out, spend some time catching up with a friend or a good book. Health clubs provide the same opportunity; they're not just a place to get sweaty but they create a community of like-minded individuals interested in exercise. Ok, I'm biased because I met my wife at a health club

5. In the coming years we will see more health clubs and fitness equipment companies align their products and services with popular professional sports leagues. UFC Gyms, which allow members to exercise in an environment that replicates how MMA stars train for competition, are experiencing rapid growth both in the United States and internationally (listen to All About Fitness podcasts episode 16 with Rob McCullough, the director of fitness for UFC Gyms and episode 18 with Tamar El-Guindy, the VP of international franchising for the company). Also in the MMA realm, Reebok, a major sponsor of the UFC, has licensed their name to Power Systems for a line of high intensity strength training equipment. In addition, there are rumors that a health club company may be a partnering with professional sports teams to develop health clubs branded with the teams from each particular market. Last year a consulting client told me about the development of NFL-themed health clubs and I have been on a non-disclosure agreement so I haven’t been able to talk about it, but as I was writing this blog this announcement about Jerry Jones opening Cowboy Fit was released. This is happening and is going to be AWESOME!

Health clubs and studios aren't just for sweating, they're a great place to connect and hang out with friends.

Who knows if all or any of these will become popular; if I could actually predict the future then I would have invested all of my savings in the stocks of Amazon or Priceline, each of experienced a fifty percent increase in value over the past year.

Episode 36: Brett Jones Apr 10, 2017

When most people think of 'strength training' they no doubt think of bulky, overly-muscled men like Arnold Schwarzenegger from his nineteen-eighties, action-movie glory days; but here's a little known secret about strength training - the biggest muscles aren't always the strongest muscles.

That's right; muscles may be large but that's not the primary determinant of strength. Muscular strength comes from numerous muscle fibers working together to generate tension; it is a function of the nervous system's ability to communicate with individual muscle fibers. The more fibers recruited to generate tension, the higher the levels of strength developed. If you're a fitness aficionado who wants to learn more about strength training you have a couple of choices: you could read the literature of the Russian Researchers or who could work with someone who has been trained by StrongFirst.

Brett Jones, Chief Instructor, StrongFirst

Strength is a technical skill; if your goal is to get strong then you will want to work with a coach who knows who to properly develop the skill of strength. On this episode of All About Fitness I interview Brett Jones, Chief Instructor, StrongFirst about the benefits of strength training and how kettlebells can be used as a tool to develop both strength and power. In our discussion we cover numerous benefits of strength and power training; including one of the most important: that it can help develop lean muscle mass, which can be a key component of looking younger!

Episode 35: Quick Fit Tips - More Benefits of Strength Training Apr 10, 2017

On this edition of Quick Fit Tips I go into the most important benefit of strength training: It can slow down the normal biological aging process.

Until someone invents the flux capacitor for time travel (80s movie reference) there is nothing that we can do to stop the progress of time; however getting older certainly does beat the alternative. Strength training increases the levels of specific hormones which can act as a literal fountain of youth helping to mitigate the aging process.

Would you believe that he is 62 years old?*

If you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s or even your 20s and are not currently exercising, you should think about starting. Not to lose weight or look a certain way, but to take control of the aging process; because regular physical activity combined with a number of other healthy lifestyle choices can help you maintain your youthful energy and appearance well into your later years.

Here is my blog for the American Council on Exercise on the types of exercise to do in each decade of the human life cycle:

Episode 34: Mike Boyle Mar 29, 2017

Question: What can George Constanza teach us about exercise?

To learn the answer you'll have to listen to strength coach Mike Boyle and I discuss the most effective ways you should be working out. When it comes to developing and coaching practical, effective fitness solutions Mike has over thirty years of experience helping both athletes and individuals to achieve extremely high levels of performance. On this episode of All About Fitness we discuss why the average person should be training like an athlete and how you can get started on a program to help you get fit at any age.

If you have kids that play sports or coach youth sports yourself then you will want to pay CLOSE ATTENTION to the first part of our conversation where Mike and I discuss the many mistakes being made in youth sports that could impede athletic development or lead to a career-ending injury.

When it comes to strength and conditioning Mike is a straight-shooter and one of the best in the business. He the author of New Functional Training for Sports and owns Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning in Woburn, MA which has been recognized by Men's Health as one of the top gyms in the country. Throughout his career as a coach, educator and author Mike has had a tremendous impact on myself and thousands of other fitness professionals who are working to make the world a healthier place.

Episode 33 Quick Fit Tip: Train Movement, not Muscles Mar 29, 2017

If you exercise regularly, how do you decide which ones to do in your workouts?

If you're like most fitness enthusiasts then you are most likely following a workout program featuring exercises that focus on individual muscle groups or bodyparts. This approach to fitness comes from bodybuilders who use muscle isolation exercises like biceps curls or leg extensions in an effort to promote the highest level of growth and definition.

The ViPR was designed specifically to focus on movement-based workouts.

Hypertrophy is the technical term for muscle growth; exercise programs where the goal is improving hypertrophy should focus on muscle isolation exercises because they can be the most effective way to initiate the metabolic or mechanical stimuli necessary to promote muscle growth. However, if you only have a limited time for exercise you are better off following an exercise program that focuses on using movement patterns as opposed to exercises designed to isolate a muscle.

Here's some food for thought:

The only time a muscle works in isolation is in a machine designed for muscle isolation. Any other time you move numerous muscles are working together to produce and control the forces necessary to perform specific movement patterns.

Our brains are hard-wired to focus on learning the most effective movement patterns that can provide our daily needs for food, shelter, companionship or physical security. When creating a movement our brain and nervous system will engage a number of muscles simultaneously to execute the pattern.

Performing a movement-based exercise program that focuses on using patterns instead of muscle isolation exercises can help improve overall levels of strength, reduce the risk of injury from overuse and increase caloric expenditure (allowing you to burn more calories in less time). Today's All About Fitness Quick Fit Tip focuses on the differences between isolation and movement training and why you should be doing the latter and skipping the former. The most important benefit is that anytime you engage more muscles in an activity you can increase the level of energy expenditure.

Moving a weight through space is an effective way to increase total body strength.

Episode 31: Quick Fit Tip - Nutrition Mar 07, 2017

No matter what your fitness goals are, nutrition is a key component of success. The sayings: "abs are made in the kitchen" and "you can't out-train a bad diet," are absolutely, one-hundred percent accurate.

Nutrition does not need to be overly complicated nor does it need to be some sort of strict diet but it is important to know a few strategies that can help you make healthier decisions. On this episode of All About Fitness Quick Fit Tips I offer a couple of simple strategies that can help you with your approach to nutrition.

A meal like this can be both nutritious and delicious!

First, it's important to know a little science, but keep in mind these are general terms, each individual is different, but these examples can help you to develop a slightly better understanding of how your body uses energy. If you want to know more about how your body burns fat then listen to episode 26 of All About Fitness where Professor Fabio Comana explains the physiology of fat burning.

Your body uses the food you eat for energy and to repair tissue. Protein is used to repair tissue while fats and carbohydrates are used to provide energy (among other things). The energy that is not used immediately will be saved as triglycerides in adipose tissue (body fat). Yes, most of the energy you use is to power your muscles for a variety of activities, but internal biological processes like digestion and tissue repair will also help burn calories.

A calorie is a measure of unit of energy - it is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one liter of water by one degree centigrade. There is some variance based on the amount of lean muscle mass, fat mass and overall fitness but in general the human body will burn approximately one hundred (100) calories to walk or run a mile.

If you take 12 minutes to walk a mile it will take you about 30 minutes to burn the energy from a 20oz bottle of Coca-cola (240 calories - according to the label). If you run a 7 minute mile it will take you half the time to burn the same amount of energy.

My advice to clients is that when looking at a food label or calories guide on a restaurant menu determine how much activity you will need to do to expend the energy provided by that food. If something you're about to eat has two hundred calories then you should be prepared to do the necessary activity to use the energy it will provide. Otherwise that extra energy that could be stored as fat to be used at a later time.

Taking the time to prep fruit and veggies at the beginning of the week can help you be healthier all week long.

If your goal is to lose weight then it is necessary to consume fewer calories than you expend - this creates a negative caloric balance. This doesn't mean starve yourself, it just means making smarter decisions about the quantity of food and your daily level of physical activity.

A pound of body fat has approximately 3500 calories of energy; if you can reduce your caloric intake by 300-500 calories a day and increase your caloric expenditure by 300-500 calories (the equivalent of walking 3-5 miles; it sounds like a lot but that can be accumulated throughout the day) then you will be on track to lose 1-2 pounds a week.

More importantly you will be developing the ability to make healthier decisions and practice healthier habits both of which are essential for long-term success.

There are many different approaches to nutrition; it is important to identify what works for you and your specific needs. My recommendation is to find a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist through the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. A RDN has five years of formal education before earning the credential which is important for helping you identify the most effective nutrition plan for your needs.

Episode 30: Dan John Feb 18, 2017

Strength is the ability to generate muscular force against an external resistance. Strength training is more than just lifting heavier weights or adding more muscle; how you approach your workout program can provide a number of benefits not only for your physical health but for your overall outlook on life.

On episode 30 of All About Fitness strength coach Dan John and I discuss a number of benefits of strength training. Besides being an expert on strength training and human performance, Dan teaches religion and philosophy so our discussion delves into a number of ways that getting stronger can improve your life both in and out of the weight room.

Strength training is a good metaphor for life; you have to work to overcome challenges. If you work hard enough and take the right approach you can accomplish great things. Some days you’re going to have the strength to overcome the weight, while other days the weight might get the best of you. In life it’s not what happens to us but how we react to it. That's just a little preview of this episode of All About Fitness - enjoy!

You can read some of Dan's articles on T-Nation or Breaking Muscle; you can also pick up one of his books through On Target Publishing.

My personal approach to fitness is to have the ability to enjoy awesome activities like lifting heavy things and playing in the mud during a Spartan Race

Episode 29: Quick Fit Tip, Strength training part 2 Feb 17, 2017

Sled pulling, or in this case, car pulling is an excellent way to develop lower body strength.

When most people hear the term, 'strength training' they get an image of oversized bodybuilders lifting free weights to increase the size of their muscles. Muscular strength is the ability of muscles to generate a force against an external resistance. Did you realize that there are different types of strength training that can produce different effects on the body? On episode 29 of All About Fitness it's another Quick Fit Tip discussing the different types of strength training.

The text below outlines what I explain in the podcast, providing a little more detail with links to relevant blogs and articles I've written in the past.

A motor unit is the connection between the nervous system and the muscles it controls; it is the motor neuron and the muscle fibers attached to it. When a motor unit is activated it will cause it's attached fibers to shorten and generate a force. To learn more about muscle motor units, read my blog here.

Hypertrophy is the technical term for increasing muscle size. Training for hypertrophy requires lifting a weight for a set of ten-to-fifteen reps until the muscle fatigues and is not able to perform another rep. Performing a higher rep range to fatigue will cause metabolic overload, the result of a muscle using all of its available glycogen to fuel the contractions. A muscle adapts by storing more glycogen which holds on to water resulting in an increase in muscle volume. To read more about metabolic overload, read this blog, and to learn seven techniques for promoting muscle growth click this link.

Strength training, lifting a moderate-to-heavy weight for up to eight reps, will increase the number of motor units recruited but not necessarily the size of the involved muscles. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking when moving a heavy weight? That is because heavier weights will activate more muscle motor units (and their attached fibers) increasing the electrical activity within that muscle creating the shaking sensation. To read about the different types of strength; check out this blog.

Power training should be done with lighter loads to allow you to move at the fastest speed possible. Power training increases the speed at which motor units are recruited and muscle fibers shortened, the result is the ability to generate a high amount of force in a short period of time. To read more about power training, follow this link.

Towing a heavy weight can improve strength; towing a light weight (less than 10% of bodyweight) can help improve speed and acceleration - there is a difference.

Powerlifting is the sport where participants compete to see who can lift the most amount of weight in three lifts: bench press, squat and deadlift.

Weightlifting, commonly called Olympic weightlifting, is the sport where athletes compete to see who can lift the most weight in the snatch and clean-and-jerk.

Here's the paradox: Powerlifting is test of maximum strength - the ability to lift the highest weight possible regardless of velocity while weightlifting is a test of explosive power - the ability to accelerate a weight at a high rate of speed.

To learn more about the the different types of strength training and how they affect your body, listen to episode 29 of All About Fitness.

Episode 28: Nick Tumminello Feb 09, 2017

No matter how old you are, strength training can help you get results!

On this episode of All About Fitness I speak with Nick Tumminello about how strength training can help you reach a variety of your fitness goals. Nick is a personal trainer, strength coach and educator who was recognized as the Personal Trainer of the Year by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). Nick is an expert in strength training and is a frequent contributor to publications such as Men’s Health, T-Nation and Bodybuilding.com. In addition, he travels around the world to teach personal trainers how to be more successful.

Our conversation today focuses on the benefits of strength training for weight loss, the subject of one of Nick’s books, we also talk about a variety of topics related to working out in general and strength training in particular. in a field where a number of self-professed ‘experts’ claim to have the secret to success or promote workouts with little-to-no scientific validity it’s good to know that there are professionals like Nick who take the time to do the research so that when they dispense advice it is based only on the known facts about how the body adapts to exercise. Nick and I have gotten to know one another at various fitness conferences and meetings, at one point in our conversation I refer to Nick’s approach to fitness as ‘basic’ and I mean that as a compliment. Workout programs do not need to be overly complicated or use a variety of exercises better suited for an acrobatic routine to be effective. Knowing how to design a progressively challenging workout that applies the appropriate amount of stimulus to the body and how to properly recover from the workout so the body experiences the desired adaptations are two of the most important components of any exercise program. If you enjoy pushing iron or want to know the most effective things you should be doing in the gym you’ll get a lot out of today’s episode.

Nick's books: Strength Training for Fat Loss and Building Muscle and Performance are must-have's for anyone interested in getting results from strength training.

Episode 27: Quick Fit Tip - Strength Training Feb 03, 2017

We know that exercise is important, but the type of exercise you do can make all of the difference in getting the results you want. There are three general types of exercise: strength training, cardio training and flexibility training.

In short, cardio training is about improving the ability of your body to deliver oxygen to working muscles; flexibility training is improving the ability of your muscles and joints to move and strength training improves the ability to generate force with your muscles.

Strength training is the process of using an external resistance to help the muscles become more effective at producing and using force. When a muscle shortens it generates a force to move the opposing mass. When a muscle lengthens it is slowing down, or decelerating, the movement caused by an opposing force. For example, when standing up from the bottom of a squat the thigh and glute muscles are shortening to generate the force required to move your body up against the downward pull of gravity. On the way back down to the bottom of a squat the thigh and glute muscles are lengthening to slow the downward force created by gravity.

Because there is more surface tension between individual muscle fibers as they lengthen, a muscle can generate more force during this phase of muscle action which can help stimulate muscle growth and improve definition (this is the science behind super-slow lifting methods). Strength training can be done with a variety of equipment including machines designed to work on specific muscles, dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells and non-traditional implements like sandbags, kegs or heavy tires. No matter which equipment you use, the amount of weight lifted or the number of reps you do, the most important thing to stimulate muscle growth is to work to the point of momentary fatigue which ensures that ALL fibers in a particular muscle are being engaged.

Can strength training help make you smarter? Listen to find out!

On episode 27 of All About Fitness I review the benefits of strength training, some of which are well-known like improving strength or adding lean muscle mass, but I also address some of the lesser known benefits like boosting levels of fat-burning hormones or making you smarter. Listen for details.

Finally, when it comes to strength training you'll get your best results by using different equipment and changing the exercises you do on a regular basis. When you change the type of equipment you use in your workouts, like switching from doing barbell bench press to dumbbell bench press, it can stimulate your nervous system to recruit different muscle fibers. Exercise physiology is not an exact science; research can help us predict how a certain type of exercise might effect your body, but there is no way to know for certain how your body will respond until you actually do the exercise. However, there is one thing that we do know: doing the same exercises with the same equipment for more than a few months at a time is a sure-fire way to become stuck on a plateau.

If you want to learn how your body adapts to strength training stay tuned for future episodes where I discuss the topic with some of the top strength coaches in fitness. In the meantime here are some blogs that I've written about the benefits of strength training to help you understand why you should be picking up heavy stuff:

Episode 26: Fabio Comana Jan 30, 2017

How are you doing with your weight loss goals so far this year? Have you lost the weight you wanted to? Have you been able to get rid of that extra fat hanging out on your body? Do you want some advice for what you could be doing better?

Losing weight and getting rid of unwanted body fat are popular reasons for starting an exercise program. In order to reach those goals it helps to know a little of the science behind how your body stores and uses fat. For example, if you consume too many calories the excess energy that your body doesn't use could be stored as fat. There are reasons why even if you exercise everyday you could still be falling short of your weight loss goals.

In this episode of All About Fitness I sit down with Fabio Comana, a Professor of Exercise and Nutrition Science at San Diego State University, to discuss how the body gains and loses weight and, most importantly, identify the types of activity you can be doing to help you reach your weight loss goals.

Fabio and I speaking at Fitness Asia in 2010, come join us at an upcoming SCW Mania

Episode 25: Quick Fit Tip - How to Burn More Calories Jan 27, 2017

Here are some numbers for you:

3500 calories - the amount of energy from a pound of fat

100 calories - the amount of energy it takes to walk or run a mile

5 calories - the amount of energy the body burns to consume 1 liter of oxygen

1 calories = the amount of energy required to increase 1 liter of water 1 degree centigrade.

A calorie is a measure of unit of energy. When we eat food we are absorbing nutrients that will ultimately end up in one of three places: in muscles to burn as energy, in our waste when we eliminate or in our adipose tissue where fat is stored to be used for energy at a later date.

If we eat a piece of food with 500 calories then whatever energy we do not burn or eliminate will be stored for use at a later time. In the body fat is simply stored energy; if you are looking to lose weight and burn fat then it is necessary to get up and be more active.

We use oxygen, along with fats and carbohydrates, to produce energy to fuel activity in the body. Anytime we use more muscle tissue or do more activity we will require more oxygen and therefore burn more calories.

If you've been struggling to lose weight then adding more activity to your daily habits can be one way to increase your net energy expenditure. Studies show that people who move more throughout the day can burn up to 300 more calories - that's equivalent to a 3 mile run!

In this Quick Fit Tip episode of All About Fitness I cover a few simple steps that you can take to burn more energy throughout your day.

One big tip:

When reading a label to identify the amount of calories in a food or drink - Ask yourself, can I burn the energy that this is going to add to my body? If you see that a certain snack like a piece of pumpkin loaf from your favorite Seattle-based coffee store is 380 calories then that means you need to be prepared to walk about 4 miles to burn off the energy it will provide.

Episode 24: Katy Bowman Jan 23, 2017

Episode 24 of All About Fitness features author and founder of Nutritious Movement, Katy Bowman. This was a first for All About Fitness, the interview was scheduled through a publicist; and to be completely honest, before receiving her book, Move Your DNA, I had not heard of Katy Bowman, but the concepts discussed in her writing were familiar to me as a fitness educator who teaches that exercise is a function of movement. In a cool synchronicity, I interviewed Jen Sinkler before I interviewed Katy; when I was editing our podcast I realized that Jen had made a specific reference to Katy’s work. Katy is a health and wellness educator who promotes the concept that rather than limiting ourselves to specific types of exercise that we should focus more on participating in all types of movement. We often think of physical activity as a construct of a specific activity like flexibility, cardio exercise or resistance training; through her blog, books and podcast - Katy Says, Katy helps people to focus on improving movement literacy by taking every opportunity to be as physically active as possible, which can greatly enhance the overall quality of life. A biomechanist by education, Katy uses scientific knowledge combined with real-world practicality to reshape the concept of physical activity into holistic, natural movements as opposed to a series of isolated, discrete joint motions. Katy’s books include: Move Your DNA, Whole Body Barefoot and the recently released Movement Matters. In our conversation today we focus on why it is important to think about enhancing movement through ALL types of physical activity. Research shows that people who move throughout the day are healthier than people who are stuck in the same position. You’ll hear Katy use the term Captive Humans - to describe how the shape of our body becomes dictated by the limited scope of movements we perform throughout our daily lives. On this episode you'll learn why it’s more important to focus on complete movement literacy, why the modern concept of exercise may actually be limiting how much we move and what you can do to be more physically active throughout your day.

Episode 23: The Basic Components of Fitness Jan 18, 2017

On this shorter episode of All About Fitness I discuss the basic components of fitness. We have a tendency to overcomplicate things, especially when it comes to exercise and working out, it's important to note that often the best experts in any field are those who do the basics extremely well.

The basic components of fitness are: strength training, energy pathway training, mobility training, fueling, rest and recovery, community and financial fitness; I describe what each component is but don't take a deep dive on how to achieve it - those will be happening on future episodes of the podcast. If you want to understand how exercise slows down the aging process, here is an article I wrote a few years ago that covers the basic physiology.

When it comes to exercise I'm a BIG proponent of a three-day-a-week split:

Day 1: Force production - either strength or power training, the goal is to challenge your muscles to generate a high amount of force (strength) or to produce force at the fastest velocity possible (power)

Day 2: Mobility training - technically flexibility is joint motion through a specific range of motion. Extensibility is the ability of tissue to lengthen and shorten. These two combined create mobility - the ability to control motion through a complete path of motion. Mobility training includes bodyweight exercises like gymnastics or TRX training, yoga, dance or martial arts. Mobility training will keep you moving but should not over stress the systems of the body.

Day 3: Energy pathway training - there are three specific energy pathways in the body and training on this day should focus on one of those. We should do some high intensity interval training but no more than one or two days per week (three if we have really good recovery strategies).

Day 4: Rest or go back to day 1; however it's a good idea to take at least one complete rest day a week where the most activity you do is go for a long walk or catch up on chores around the house.

Following this three day split you do your higher intensity days on 1 and 3; if you do a high intensity day 3 of energy pathway training then take a rest day, if energy pathway training is lower intensity then you can jump right back into strength or power training on day 1.

The other components of fitness: fueling, rest, community and financial will be covered in future episodes of the podcast but each individual component is important for creating a well-balanced, low stress, high quality of life.

Episode 22: David Dellanave Jan 12, 2017

Episode 22 of All About Fitness represents two firsts: it was the first time I interviewed a guest with whom I did not have an existing relationship, and it was the first time I used Skype to record a podcast. The former was extremely successful which makes up for a few tech glitches on the latter.

David Dellanave is the founder and owner of the Movement Gym in Minneapolis, MN which has been recognized as one of the top gyms in the United States by Men's Health Magazine. David is recognized as a strength training expert and has developed a specific coaching model based on using biofeedback to determine the appropriate training intensity for each training day. David has written a book about deadlifting and is often cited by magazines for being an expert on using strength training to get results.

On episode 20 of All About Fitness I interviewed David's wife, the awesome Jen Sinkler so I thought it was only fair to give him the mic on this edition of the podcast. Our conversation covers the best things you can be doing at home to support your work in the gym, so it's definitely worth a listen!

Starting this week All About Fitness is moving to a two-podcast-per-week model where one podcast will feature a full, complete interview with an expert from a various fitness-related field where the focus will be on what you can be doing to improve your fitness level during the aging process, or how you can use exercise to slow down the aging process. The second podcast will be short and sweet where I will feature a brief review of a piece of relevant research, discuss a new trend or talk about the benefits of using a specific fitness product. The interview podcast will be between 25-45 minutes long and the second podcast, a kind of verbal blog, will be less than ten minutes.

Whenever I am first introduced to a new "expert" or authority in a particular field I am always interested about his or her background and why I should be investing my time listening to what he or she has to say. On this first short format of All About Fitness I provide a brief overview of my education and work experience in the fitness industry. No, I don't have a seven-figure following on social media, nor do I have six-pack abs or buns of steel (although my glutes are pretty well developed - thanks to kettlebell swings and deadlifts). But I have worked (and continue to work) for the two largest personal training certifications: the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and the National Academy of Sports Medicine. Talking about yourself is always tough, you want to provide some background about your legitimacy to be viewed as an expert but you don't want to appear to be what comedian Dane Cook refers to as 'too bragadocious.' (Not sure if that's a word, but I'm going for it).

Episode 21 provides a brief overview of my knowledge, skills and abilities and why I'm doing this podcast.

Episode 20: Jen Sinkler Jan 03, 2017

Welcome to episode 20 of All About Fitness, first I’m pleased to announce a new sponsor - SKLZ, the maker of exercise products to help you reach your goals, listen to the spot for a code that can save you 30%. On episode 20 I’m thrilled to feature a conversation with a favorite member of my extended #FitFAM Jen Sinkler. Jen is a blogger, studio owner (along with her husband, the physically cultured David Dellanave - an upcoming guest on All About Fitness himself) and fitness personality who is helping to change how people exercise - you can read her extended bio here. Some highlights of her background are being a former member of the US Women’s National Rugby team, an editor for a fitness magazine, a frequent speaker at fitness conferences and, this is my favorite, she’s one of the few women who is a regular content (meaning workout) contributor to Men’s Health. During our conversation today we talk about living without a car (LOVE IT), the benefits of strength training and specifically how her workout program has changed as she’s gotten a little older. As I’m getting more into podcasting and listening to other podcasts I’m finding I do not like long intros, so I’m trying to keep the recorded introduction short and sweet but am adding some personal input and thoughts AFTER the interview, so please stay tuned.

Episode 19: Sohailla Digsby Dec 29, 2016

If you're a longtime fitness enthusiast then you no doubt know that exercise is only one component of what is required to achieve the results you want. Unlike many common gym myths, the phrases, "You can't out-train a bad diet," and "Abs are made in the kitchen" are two sayings that, unfortunately, are more reality than myth.

Here to help provide some no-nonsense, evidence based ideas for how you can change your diet to change your body is Sohailla Digsby, a Registered Dietician who is the author of the books: Countdown to Your Best Body Success Journal and Best Body Cookbook and Menu Plan as well as the leader of the Best Body in 52 online nutrition coaching program.

On this episode of All About Fitness we discuss nutrition, the difference between a nutritionist and Registered Dietician, how you can make healthier nutrition choices and 5 simple steps that you can take to change your diet. Today.

Don't let your nutrition choices hold you back from seeing the results you really want from your fitness program; this episode will help you understand the role of nutrition as well as help identify some simple changes that you can start making to your diet.

Episode 18: Tamer 'The Razor' El-Guindy Dec 23, 2016

As a fitness professional my primary focus is on enhancing physical performance through movement-based strength and conditioning programs. What that means in plain English is that I help people move better first before helping them to become stronger or more powerful.

A well-known joke among fitness professionals is that the most common workout goals are to: "lose weight" and "tone up." If a personal trainer received $1 for every time he or she heard that phrase every single one of us would be a multi-millionaire. The fact is that most people start a workout program in order to look better, not move better. With that in mind I plan on regularly interviewing guests with a background in bodybuilding, whether as a competitor, researcher or coach.

On episode 18 of All About Fitness I interview former professional bodybuilder Tamer ’The Razor' El-Guindy. Our conversation focuses on how setting exercise goals, especially the strict ones required for success as a bodybuilder, can help you prepare for success in your professional life. Let’s face it, if you can compete in bodybuilding then you are driven by setting and working towards challenging goals which is an important trait required for any type of professional success. Tamer is an excellent example of an individual who has turned the drive and determination that led to his success on the competitive stage towards a career working in the fitness industry. Tamer is a former IFBB 2-time Mr. USA who is now working for UFC Gym as the vice president of global franchising and the director of the UFC Gym University. My initial perception of UFC Gym was that it was going to be focused on the tribal-tatood, Ed Hardy t-shirt wearing crowd that frequent MMA events. However having met and done some work with both Tamer and the director of Fitness for UFC Gyms Rob McCullough, who I interviewed on episode 16 of All About Fitness, I have been impressed by the all-inclusive approach the company has towards it’s fitness programming. This is not an informercial for UFC Gym, however when I come across a company that I feel is doing fitness the right way, whether it is by manufacturing equipment or operating a health club, I want to share that it with you. If you’re like me than you may have a certain image of what working out in a UFC Gym looks like, but after listening to our conversation today you may realize it’s a place worth checking out.

Episode 17: Michael Piercy Nov 21, 2016

It's easy to stop working out if you're not having fun. If you're looking for a new way to challenge your body, or just want to make your workouts more interesting than consider training like an athlete! You don't have to be under contract to reap the benefits of training like top competitive athletes. On episode 17 of All About Fitness I speak with Michael Piercy, a former professional baseball player who uses his knowledge of what it takes to compete as a pro to help his clients experience extraordinary results.

Michael Piercy is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES) as well as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with the National Strength and Conditioning Association who owns the LAB Performance Training Center in West Caldwell, NJ. Michael is a Master Instructor for TRX and the developer of the RedZone Workout Program for Men's Health.

During our conversation today we talk about how pro athletes train and how training like a pro can help you reach your fitness goals; most importantly you'll learn how to make exercise more FUN again.

Episode 16: Former WEC Lightweight Champ Rob McCullough Nov 20, 2016

On this episode of All About Fitness I sit down with Rob McCullough, former professional kick boxer, WEC Lightweight Champion, and currently the Senior Director of MMA Programming for UFC Gyms.

We discuss how Rob got started in professional fighting and how his approach to fitness and exercise has changed over the years. What is fascinating is that over the past twenty years MMA has evolved from an underground sport to a multi-billion dollar industry. The computer and tech industry evolved in San Jose, CA, finance and fashion were developed in New York City and the early days of MMA took place in Orange County, CA and Rob was there at the beginning.

Rob talks about meeting and training with Tito Ortiz in high school and how his participation in the sport has grown from being a fighter to running the program for UFC Gyms, a rapidly growing chain of health clubs based out of Southern California.

Episode 15: The Role of Community in Health and Fitness Oct 06, 2016

Episode 15 of All About Fitness is about the role that community plays in promoting a healthy and fitness lifestyle. People who don’t workout tend to find any excuse to avoid getting sweaty. Those of us who enjoy fitness are the opposite, we look forward to the physical challenge of a tough workout and often we look forward to seeing the friends we’ll be sweating with as we push ourselves to perform better. How many times have you thought about blowing off a workout or skipping an activity because you weren’t really in the mood? How many times did you suck it up and show up because you knew that others would be there waiting for you and, if nothing else, it was a chance to get out, see some friends and have a little fun? One of the best things about the fitness lifestyle is being a part of a community of like-minded individuals. As someone who has taught group fitness classes for the better part of 20 years I can attest to the fact that many friendships are made among people who sweat together. One of the coolest things is that many people who first meet in the gym end up becoming friends, which is especially important in this day of social media when it can be easier to connect virtually than in real life. The topic of today’s episode is how fitness can create a community and why that community can be an important part of a healthy lifestyle. You may have seen them in the park: a phalanx of women in form-fitting exercise clothes pushing strollers and stopping every so often to perform some workouts. The program is called Stroller Strides and it was created by Lisa Druxman, a fitness professional, who noticed there was a lack of exercise options for women who had just given birth. True to the phrase: necessity is the mother of invention, once Lisa decided to create a program that catered to new moms who didn’t want the let the new addition stand in the way of their exercise program. Once Lisa created the Stroller Strides workout she turned it into a franchise program so that other new moms could start their own companies promoting health and fitness. Over the years Stroller Strides has evolved to include programs called Fit4Baby - classes for pre-natal fitness, Body Back - conditioning classes for any stage of motherhood and has become the company Fit4Mom. Farel Hruska is the National Fitness Director responsible for educating new and existing franchise owners and instructors. Lisa and Farel have focused on helping women create a community of like-minded individuals who care about the health of both their families and themselves as individuals. In this episode of All About Fitness, Lisa, Farel and I discuss the evolution of Fit4Mom and the role that a community of like-minded individuals plays in helping you to pursue a healthy and fit lifestyle.

Episode 14: Aimee Nicotera Aug 17, 2016

A few things to know about exercise and pregnancy

Okay, first things first, I’m a guy. Let me add a little more info, I’m a father with two young kids and someone who makes a living teaching exercise science so me writing or speaking about exercising during pregnancy comes from the point of view of having watched my wife go through it two times and having done the research to teach others how pregnancy changes a woman’s response to exercise.

Here’s the thing: we know that a woman’s body changes during pregnancy and that the physiology will function differently but there is a scarcity of specific research on how hard or how long to exercise during pregnancy because: 1) no researcher wants to risk injuring a pregnant woman and 2) it’s only a limited time frame to collect data. This means that we have ideas about how a woman’s body adjusts to exercise during pregnancy but no definitive standards for how hard, how long or what type of exercise.

If you’re female, enjoy working out and planning on getting pregnant here are a few things you should know about the benefits of exercise during pregnancy along with a few things to pay attention to as your pregnancy progresses.

This information comes from the current scientific literature, my 18 years of experience of working with pregnant woman as private clients and in group classes, going through it two times with my wife and from my conversation with Aimee Nicotera, a fitness professional who continued to teach, train and compete during her pregnancy. In my All About Fitness podcast we discuss Aimee’s pregnancy and how she has adjusted her workouts over the development of her baby. Two important things to note: Aimee is a little older than many new mothers but that didn’t affect her and she went into labor and gave birth within hours of taping the podcast so I was lucky to catch her at the exact end of her pregnancy; so it’s worth a listen if you’re looking for some good, practical advice from a fitness expert with a master’s in health education.

here is some more information about exercise during pregnancy

Do you love to exercise? Are you a group fitness junkie? Do you find yourself giving fitness advice to your friends and family?

Have you ever considered changing careers to work in the fitness industry?

Like many of us who work full time as personal trainers and group fitness instructors Artemis Scantalides started her career working in an office. To hear why she gave up a lucrative career as a consultant to work late nights and early mornings making half naked people sweaty be sure to catch episode 12 of All About Fitness where we discuss her transition from fitness enthusiast to fitness studio owner, trainer and international speaker. In addition Artemis is one of only a few women who have earned the prestigious Iron Maiden designation so we also talk about weight lifting and strength training.

It IS possible to earn a living while working in your favorite fitness clothes; in this age of social media and online content your income potential as a fitness professional is limited only by how hard you're willing to work and how creative you can be at developing a niche audience for what you have to offer.

Episode 11: Todd Durkin Jul 25, 2016

"How you do anything is how you do everything." Why are there some people who are constantly more successful than others? According to personal trainer and coach Todd Durkin is has to do with mindset and attitude.

On episode 11 of All About Fitness I interview Todd Durkin, a recent finalist on the NBC show STRONG, one of the most influential people in health and fitness and the owner of Fitness Quest 10 in San Diego - recognized by Men's Health Magazine as one of the top gyms in the country.

Episode 10: Randy Hetrick, inventor of the TRX Suspension Trainer Jul 12, 2016

“The journey of one thousand miles begins with a single step,” is an ancient Chinese proverb; the point is that any journey, no matter the distance, begins the same way - by taking the first step.

One of the most challenging things with making time for exercise is having a goal. If you are working towards a specific outcome then you have a purpose for why you’re going to the gym (or running outside, or swimming that lap). If you don’t have a purpose then it can be extremely hard to make the effort to take that first step.

In today’s episode of All About Fitness I speak with Randy Hetrick, the inventor of the TRX Suspension Trainer, a former active duty US Navy SEAL and all around great individual. We talk about goal setting and how to make time for fitness in a demanding schedule. Training to be a SEAL is one of the most grueling, physically demanding challenges any individual could face. Creating a product, bringing it to market and literally changing the face of an industry is a piece of cake by comparison.

Randy and I talk about how he focused his efforts to his achieve his goal of becoming a SEAL and how he uses that drive to help him run a successful business. You DO NOT need to train like a Navy SEAL or feel the burn to receive benefits from exercise, simply getting up and being active a few minutes at a time can provide some health benefits and be the first step in your journey to a healthier life.

Fitness is not about having a certain look or being able to lift a certain amount of weight or run a certain distance. In my opinion fitness is simply having the physical ability to do what you want to do when you want to do it. There is so much false, misleading and downright bad information about fitness; the goal of All About Fitness is to cut through all of the nonsense and bring you information about exercise that can help improve your life. Even if you don’t exercise or even like the thought of sweating I guarantee that you will get something out of listening to our conversation.

If you want to hear the story of how and why Randy invented the TRX along with a workout that you can start doing TODAY, then watch this interview I did with Randy a few years ago; we talk about his journey from SEAL to inventor while he puts me through a challenging workout.

Episode 9: Petra Kolber discusses Moving to Happiness Jul 06, 2016

Losing weight, toning up, getting bigger, faster, stronger... These are all common reasons for working out; here's some food for thought: Why not exercise for the purpose of feeling better instead of looking better? When was the last time that you went to the gym for a 'happiness day?'

Petra Kolber is a fitness industry veteran who helped make step aerobics one of the most popular workouts in the world. Petra has evolved from teaching knee repeaters to using physical activity as a means for changing your mindset because feeling better is the first step towards looking better. If you exercise for no other reason it should be because it can help put you in a good mood that can change your overall outlook on life.

In our conversation today Petra and I discuss her evolution from a cruise ship performer to a fitness industry leader responsible for changing lives around the world. Tune in for our conversation to find out how you can start Moving YOUR way to Happiness!

Episode 8: Anthony Carey Jun 24, 2016

Episode 8 of All About Fitness discusses how exercise can help eliminate pain. If you experience chronic pain, you're not alone. Chronic pain affects millions of people and can be extremely debilitating keeping you from being able to move comfortably, let alone not allowing you to participate in your favorite activities.

Drugs can mask pain to help you feel better but that is only temporary and does not treat the actual cause of pain. Medical procedures can be extremely expensive and could actually cause more problems than they solve because once a muscle is cut, inelastic scar tissue can develop which can change the function of that muscle. Anthony Carey is a San Diego-based personal trainer, author of the book: The Pain Free Program and educator who specializes at using exercise to help eliminate the causes of chronic pain. In this episode we discuss how the right exercise program can change how your body functions allowing you to live pain-free while enjoying your favorite activities.

If you deal with pain on a regular basis, this episode of All About Fitness will help you understand the physiology of pain and how you can get rid of it allowing you to return to your favorite activities.

All About Fitness episode 7: David Jack Jun 13, 2016

David Jack is a leader in the fitness industry who serves as an adviser to Men’s Health, Reebok and other companies as well as running the Activ8 Lab fitness studio in the beautiful Arizona Grand Resort in Phoenix, Arizona. David is not only responsible for producing informative, engaging content for top fitness brands but he is one of the most down-to-earth, engaging professionals I’ve met in my nearly twenty years working in fitness. In today’s conversation we talk about how to make time for fitness in a busy schedule, effective strength training exercise strategies when time is a factor along with ways that exercise can be used to help motivate and engage others. Rather than a lengthy intro, I’ll use David’s quote below as an example of what to expect in episode 7 of All About Fitness:

“I believe that as we use our strengths; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, to serve, we are given more. Fitness has been relegated to six-pack abs, a faster 40, a bigger bench or a better Fran time. Goals are good and they DO matter, but if all we train and prepare for is to improve our fitness metrics or look better for others that judge us, that’s all we get. When great people, places and things come together to create the change they seek in the world, the positive effects cascade forever. This is my mission: to use my God given gifts, talents and passions to inspire, connect, teach and share with others in an effort to change the way we look at fitness, ourselves and those around us. To help people get ready to be ready when they are called upon becoming the who they were created to be, in order to do what only they can do.”

All About Fitness episode 6 with Stephanie Lauren Jun 02, 2016

If you like to exercise and are always looking for new workout options one of the goals of All About Fitness is to introduce you to new types of fitness equipment and programs. As someone who has spent a career educating personal trainers I would never promote a product or support a program that I didn’t think is legitimate and provides a specific value to fitness consumers; the things I consider when reviewing a new entrant to the fitness market are:

Is it a correct application of research-based exercise science?
Does it address a specific need that isn’t being met by other products?
Is it safe and appropriate for people of all ages and fitness levels?

In episode 6 of All About Fitness we visit with Stephanie Lauren, the founder of Plyoga Fitness (featured on Spike TV's Sweat Inc.). Stephanie is a former NCAA athlete and competitive gymnast who wanted a dynamic way to stay fit after her competitive days were behind her which is what led her to create a new exercise format.

What happens when you combine the range of motion and mobility exercises from Yoga with plyometric exercises to increase muscle power? You get Plyoga Fitness which integrates the two modalities into a fun and challenging workout that produces results. In this episode I interview Stephanie about why she created Plyoga Fitness, the benefits of her program and how you can get results by combining two different types of exercise into one workout.

All About Fitness interviews Jessica Matthews May 16, 2016

Confession: I'm a recovering meat-head; once upon a time my workout program focused on: bench press, biceps curls and lat pulldowns. For years my perception of Yoga was that it was merely stretching in a dark room with funky music. Then I tried my first class and was immediately humbled. As I've gotten older I've completely changed the way I train and now instead of focusing on how much weight I lift, the goal is to improve mobility and maintain a high level of physical function. While I don't practice as much as I would like I now appreciate the role that Yoga plays in a well-rounded fitness program.

Today in All About Fitness I have a conversation with fitness author, public speaker and Assistant Professor of Exercise Science (Miramar College) Jessica Matthews. Jessica has been teaching yoga for a number of year and has created a Yoga Alliance approved Yoga instructor program at Miramar College in San Diego, CA; we talk about the benefits of Yoga and how you can identify the best form and instructor for your needs.

If you enjoy exercise and make your fitness a priority then one of your primary goals for working out is to burn fat. If this is the case then you are no doubt familiar with the concept of high intensity training. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), metabolic conditioning, Tabata training and other forms of extreme workouts that are meant to beat the calories out of you via punishing exercise are very popular right now, however they could be doing you more harm than good.

You may have heard from your favorite fitness instructor, personal trainer or read in a popular magazine that high intensity interval training is effective at burning fat, it can be BUT ONLY when done the proper way and at the right amount. The perception is that the harder you work, the more calories you burn, however in the case of HIIT perception is NOT always reality. The simple fact is that a little HIIT can be good, but too much could be working against you and keeping you from reaching your fitness goals.

In today's episode of All About Fitness I speak with San Diego State Professor of Exercise Science Fabio Comana who explains the physiology of HIIT, how it works and, most importantly, how it could be working against you and keeping you from achieving your fitness goals. Fabio is one of the smartest and hardest working guys in the fitness industry, throughout his career he has worked for different universities, the leading personal training certification organizations and has educated thousands of fitness professionals. If you want to learn more about how the body burns fat don't waste your time listening to someone who may have just recently passed a weekend workshop, go to the source and hear what the guy who makes a living teaching trainers has to say on the topic. Fabio and I discuss the fallacies of HIIT and what you should be doing to maximize the fat loss from your workouts, this is a conversation you DO NOT want to miss.

Pete McCall presents All About Fitness with Staff Sergeant Ken Weichert Mar 04, 2016

Are you a fitness enthusiast? Do you enjoy working out? If you do then you probably want to find the most effective workout program to help you meet your needs. "Boot camp" workout programs are an extremely popular mode of exercise and research by the American Council on Exercise has shown that they can be extremely effective for burning calories; however not all boot camp programs are the same (and some aren't even worth being called 'boot camp').

To get the lowdown on the type of challenges a real boot camp workout should offer and how these can benefit your fitness needs I went straight to the source and interviewed 6 time US Army 'Soldier of the Year' and decorated combat veteran Ken Wiechert who, besides serving in the TN National Guard, travels around the world to teach fitness instructors how to lead proper boot camp conditioning programs.

In the inaugural episode of All About Fitness you will learn about the benefits of boot camp conditioning programs and how to find the best program to meet your specific needs.
