Fitness Facts From The Trenches With Jason Yun
I am excited to bring you fitness truths with my friend Jason Yun.
Jason is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and Certified Personal Trainer (NSCA-CPT) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
Below is the interview but to sum it up
1. We talk about the difference between intervals and steady state cardio and how to transition into intense intervals. Many people that say the workouts are not intense are unable to push because of how they have trained.
Example 30/30 advanced interval training
2. The myth is that dieting well means not eating or eating very little. The truth is your body needs lots of healthy nutrition to lose fat and decrease body fat percentage.
3. The myth is that sit-ups and crunches are the best for ab strength. Sit-ups and crunches may not be the best for strength. On the other hand, anti rotation band exercises and other isometrics are great for core strength. Different planks with varying degree of intensity depending on the person is always a great way to strengthen the core.

2012 Fitness Predictions
1. Many people will pay less for gyms but many will still not go to the gym. However they will still pay for it!
2. Many gyms will compete on price versus value essentially ruining their ability to compete.
3. People will still look for the easy way out. It is human nature to do so and in most areas of life being lazy can help us. The airplane, the car, the internet, email, social media, and any other device that makes our life easier is a good thing. But when it comes to fitness, basically the rule of thumb is this…. the better you get the better your body looks!
4. Metabolic training is going to be the words describing short intense workouts that will increase the metabolism over the long haul.
5. Fitness Professionals are going to train regular people more like beginner athletes or advanced athletes. There will be a focus on recovery and lifestyle techniques for better fitness results.
6. Infomercials will sell like always:(
7. Diets will pop up and people will say they work but will put weight back on. Hopefully this will lead to an understanding of the difference between weight loss and fat loss.
9. Express Fitness Powered by Fitness Revolution will be Waukesha Counties secret society for long term lifestyle fitness changes not just a quick fix (shameless plug)!
10. More people will want 10-30 minute workouts that improve them versus the long boring cardio people do with no success.

Fitness Facts From The Trenches With Steve Long
When it comes to fitness most people think that killer workouts are all that matter.
This is not true especially if movement is inefficient and progression is not present.
This leads into an interview I did with Steve Long who is the owner of http://www.personaltraininginstlouis.com/
The audio is below but if you just want the main points here they are!
1. Use corrective exercise and focus on proper movement
2. Focus on recovery techniques to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury
3. Progression in exercise movements is the most important thing in any exercise program…. not just feeling tired. In fact feeling tired might be an indication of a poor workout.
4. Shoot for the “90/10″ rule until you reach your goals.
5. High Intensity training is great but low intensity should be implemented as well.
Such as walking, band stretching, yoga, swimming, foam rolling and other recover things.
