GREAT READS

 

Trainer Likes!

The New Rules of Lifting books for men and women (by  Lou Schuler, Alwyn Cosgrove, and Cassandra Forsythe) are definitely worth reading and applying. I wish that everybody that purchased a gym membership would be required to read these user friendly manuals. It would make the gym atmosphere more energetic, aggressive, safe, and less ridiculous. But then again, I think I would miss some of the crazy ways people “use” machines!

“Those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness.”

New Perspectives

I recently acquired this excellent resource by Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove, and I give it my highest marks. If I were to pen a manual for weight training, it would be very similar to this one. It not only provides solid, principled instruction; it presents balanced and new perspectives. It defines priorities and absolutely undermines many of the gym myths that I still observe on a daily basis.

Despite being targeted at the layperson, I benefitted from this book as a trainer. It is always beneficial to rehearse the fundamentals and learn how top professionals teach and view the art of lifting. I think one the obvious strengths of this work is that it is clear and methodical. The authors don’t dumb down their knowledge but rather present it in context with thorough description.

If you are interested in advancing your understanding of resistance training and tweaking your perception of exercise, I definitely recommend this one. Enjoy!

A Gym in the Morning

 

Anytime Fitness of Lebanon

This morning I had an early session and was at work by 6 am. After my client and I finished her workout, she left and the gym was empty for a little while. I thought I’d capture  it at a quiet time. Obviously, I love the gym life, but there is something very peaceful about an empty gym in the morning! It allows one to prepare for a crazy day and keep things in perspective. It is like the calm before the storm–and by the storm I mean the furious process of keeping myself and my clients in shape. Have a great day!

Here and Gone in 60 Seconds

So, Tuesday was a good day! My gym acquired some honkin, beefy tires, and I was elated. I had big plans for these really big tires. I even had some Spring programming based on these monsters. They arrived muddy and with  a little malaria water  in them, but we were going to clean them up nice and start using them the next day. Well, after a morning session on Wednesday, I walked my client to the back of the gym to admire the new “toys,” and discovered that someone had jacked them at some point the night before! NOT COOL! We hadn’t even had enough time to get some chains for them before someone ran off with them. I am still flabbergasted that they came and went so quickly. Oh well, back to square one I suppose. However, we will not be deterred. We will press on and find some replacements . . . and we will sweat and train with them!

Fit for Spring: Get it right this time!

 

It is that time once again—the great transition between winter and spring, and with the anticipation of a more pleasant climate comes the dread of warm weather clothes and exposure. However, there is still time to get in the kind of shape that makes you welcome Spring and Summer. Although, your ultimate self will not appear magically or accidentally. You must invest and prepare, and here are a few suggestions to help you along the way:

 

 Create a plan: This includes developing and recording specific goals and committing to 8-10 weeks of healthy eating and hard work. Nothing worthwhile is easy! It also requires becoming a student of exercise and fitness. Learn principles and fundamentals of training before you ever enter a gym.

 Find a home: you must have a place to make your goals realities. It must be convenient, clean, and friendly.

 Be assessed and measured: in order to know where you want and need to go, you must know where you are. Assessment by a professional should be the foundation of your personal fitness initiative.

 Try new things: don’t expect to profit from the same stale workouts you learned in high school. Knowledge of exercise science has developed and made workouts more fun and efficient. Be creative, experimental, and adaptable, and you will achieve and adhere to your program.

 Involve your crowd: fitness fever is highly contagious, and we profit from group dedication and accountability. Get your friends and family involved, and you will see your world change for the better!

Invest in your diet: the more you study health and fitness, the more you will understand that diet is nearly 80% of a successful fitness program. To ignore this portion is to limit or compromise the results of training.

 

I hope this information is useful for you. Get out there and make it happen!
