Steve Cotter - The Benefits of Kettlebell Training Oct 20, 2021

Show notes

Push. Pull. Hinge. Squat. Lunge. Rotate. Exercise is a function of movement and the human body is made to move; therefore, for the best results, exercise programs should be based on how the body is designed to move. Kettlebells have been used for exercise for more than a hundred years and are the perfect tool for strengthening muscles using movement-based exercises. Steve Cotter is a former martial artist, the founder of the International Kettlebell Fitness Federation, the star of numerous kettlebell workout videos and the author of Kettlebell Training, a book that will teach you what you need to know to get a great workout using only 1 piece of equipment!

Steve explains how he got started with kettlebell training, the benefits of using kettlebells, why kettlebells can be the perfect training tool for athletes (or people who want to move like them) and how to get started with a kettlebell workout program. On this episode of the All About Fitness podcast, it's all about kettlebell training with author and instructor, Steve Cotter.

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

Show notes

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.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
