On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on our good friend Matt Brzycki, Assistant Director of Campus 
Recreation and Fitness at Princeton University. Matt explained the dangers of weight lifting on swiss exercise balls, how to read supplement labels and the benefits of drinking chocolate milk after you work out. We have talked about the dangers of working out with weights while laying on a swiss exercise ball but the message is not getting through – an NBA player hurt himself when the ball burst as he was pressing weights while on the ball. The balls may say they can’t burst but if you put enough weight on them they can. Using supplements when you are a college or pro athlete can be dicey – the labels may not include any ingredients that are banned but during the manufacturing process banned substances can make their way in. A study Matt mentioned said that up to 15% of supplements had some form of steroids in them. And lastly we talked about the protein power in chocolate milk that is not in other sports recovery drinks. Matt’s new book on Youth Fitness can be found on Amazon.
