This week, our new monthly partner, Dr. Andrew Pugliese stopped by to introduce us to Randy Nicholson, of Fitness Firm Studio. He’s a certified trainer who shared some very helpful information on how folks who have not previously trained or former athletes who haven’t trained in a while start exercise fitness training without injury.
As a former athlete who has experience in high intensity and high volume cardiovascular and weight/resistance training, I know too well what it’s like to resume working out after a prolonged layoff and experience overuse injuries. These come from a burst of activity with or without heavy weight/resistance. Too much exercise too soon can easily result in a incapacitating measure of pain or even injury that prevents continuing without another break to recover.
Randy shared what a person who’s motivated to start or resume training should ask a prospective personal trainer to determine what their philosophy is regarding the initial training phase. He also shared the value of using a roller to help facilitate muscle recovery as well as releasing trigger points that can cause muscle spasm.
We talked about the best way to approach beginning training in a step-wise fashion to insure that muscular imbalances, postural weaknesses, and flexibility have been improved upon before moving on to more intense training moves/activities. If you or someone you care about is thinking about resuming or wants to start exercise fitness training without injury they need to check out this week’s episode.

In his perfect world workers will move from cubicles to treadmill desks like the TrekDesk.

For example sitting down burns about 15 calories an hour – standing burns about 50 calories an hour and walking at 1 mph can burn over 100 calories an hour. And at that slow pace you barely even notice you are doing anything – you’re not tired or sweating. To learn more please go to www.trekdesk.com

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how to pick out the right fitness trainer. There are some crazy ways to choose a fitness trainer – some people go with a personal trainer with a great body – others go with the sexiest foreign accent or some are satisfied that their trainer can count to 12 and set up the next exercise. It is a very personal decision, but however you do it – make sure the trainer has your long term goals and safety in mind. Some trainers make it all about them – look how fit they are – they can eat right and exercise so why can’t you. Forget about those personal trainers – you need someone who can motivate you, educate you and inspire you to be your best. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
