The bad news is another year is gone, the good news is its a new year and we will continue to learn from research and just plain old experience what works and what is most effective when it comes to exercise. In attending different conferences throughout the year I have learned so much information to help my clients and myself. What we do here is a lot different than any other facilities around the area and there are always new big club facilities going up all the time with shiny new machines that look so impressive when you walk in. These clubs do well despite them using the same techniques that worked well in the 90’s but have become outdated. Its discouraging to attend these workshops with what are arguably the best minds in the exercise industry and learn from them to come home and implement these techniques but still have people wasting time and money on old weight training techniques that don’t get you the results you are looking for.

I came into work this morning and turned on my computer to find on my homepage a video from the CBS morning show segment with Harry Smith and Adam Campbell from Men’s Health talking about Debunking Exercise Myths. Everything discussed was right on with what we believe here. Here is the link if you would like to watch:

They discussed how crunches are not the best way to target abs that’s the 90’s, the plank works the entire core targeting abdominals more efficient and also works low back.

The point I was most excited about was reaffirming our position that they do not need the treadmill or elliptical anymore. Weight-training can equal the calorie burn of running a 6 minute mile pace! We can get you results even with using just your body weight and without you having to find time to fit in an extra hour to do your cardio. In one hour we have condensed the benefits of soft tissue work, weight training, caloric expenditure, and yoga.

For some reason people may believe this more readily since someone on TV is backing our programs up. Who knows, we actually may be leading Fitness into the 21^st Century!
