Hi everyone!
Today I’m going to mix things up a bit, and let you listen to a very interesting interview about some on the popular nutritional trends that are being utilized by athletes and the general public alike.
While surfing around a few of the blogs I follow, I stumbled upon this great interview on exercisesforinjuries.com with Brian St. Pierre.
Brian St.Pierre Is a Certified Sports Nutritionist and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.
He is also the owner of BSP Training and Nutrition.
Brian has worked with all levels of athletes as well as the general public. The Interviewer and creator of exercisesforInjuries.com is Rick Kaselj.
In today’s post I just wanted to give you some advice about choosing a method of weight training. Whether you decide to use free weights or weight machines there are a few points to consider.
Lets take a look at free weights.
This is probably the method of training for muscle strength and mass which gives you the most bang for your buck.
Barbells, dumbbells, kettle bells, and functional cable machines have one thing is common.
They all force the individual to stabilize an object and give that person free range of motion to move that object.
By allowing this freedom, the individual is capable of training muscles and groups of muscles through very specific functional ranges of motion.
The great thing about this is that these specific exercises can be customized to fit a sport, job or any everyday activity that you may perform.
Free weights are also a really good option for maintaining muscle mass while trying to loss body fat through metabolic training.
Ok, lets get right into the topic of goal setting.
Goal setting for weight loss to be more specific.
We talked a bit last week about why goal setting via a New Years resolution, flat out doesn’t work the majority of the time here.
I also touched on habits and behavioral changes that need to be applied before any transformation can come to fruition.
Lets take a closer look at weight loss.
You can jump in blindly, cutting calories, exercising, restricting certain foods and so on, without any clear outcome in mind.
This method usually ends up in disappointment.
With the singing of Auld Lang Syne comes reflection on the past year.
Also a look forword and hope for better things to come.
This brings with it, the ever so popular and often alcohol influenced New Years resolutions, be it fitness related or not.
The time when many people pledge to improve themselves and be BETTER then last year.
Hi everyone, I would just like to begin today’s post by welcoming you to the site and hoping that this will be the first of many more like it.
I’m new to the whole blogging thing, but the training thing I’ve been doing now for almost 16 years.
Now to just quickly explain what this site is all about in a nutshell is simple: I want to help you get a great looking body along with the function and performance of an elite athlete.
The title focuses on one body part, the ever sought after abs, but it will discuss much more than that.
