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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

Dr. Kevin Stone - Play Forever: How to Recover from Injury and Thrive Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

Tom Brady. Drew Brees. LeBron James. Dana Torres. Nolan Ryan. What do all of these athletes have in common? They have each excelled at their chosen sport well into their later 30s and early 40s, ages when most normal individuals would have retired from elite or professional-level competition. Thanks to modern medical science we now know more about how to keep athletes injury-free as well as how to get them back on the field (or court) quickly after an injury happens. Dr. Kevin Stone is an orthopedic surgeon and founder of the Stone Clinic in Northern California; throughout his career, Dr. Stone has helped numerous athletes return to their sport after an injury. In his book, Play Forever: How to Recovery from Injury and Thrive, Dr. Stone shares how you too can structure your workouts and exercise program to do exactly that: enjoy your favorite activities well into your later years. This is a fascinating and engaging conversation about how the evolution of modern sports medicine can help you to play forever.
