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.

Fitness Truths From The Trenches With Jim Laird
Part of my mission is to bring the truth about fitness, fat loss, and athletic performance.
To do this I will be interviewing people in the trenches and today’s guest is Jim Laird.
Here is more about Jim http://j-mstrength.com/?page_id=20 and here is his radio show http://www.blogtalkradio.com/j-m-strength-conditioning
The interview is below but if you just want the main points here they are.
1. Rest and recovery is so important and you should be getting better in any lifestyle fitness program.
2. People cannot exercise out of a poor lifestyle. If they try to you must over exercise which always leads to burn out.
3. Eating the Paleo philosophy seems to be best for healthy fat loss. The easiest way to learn how to eat is the meal movement. We both support the meal movement program.
4. Train to be more athletic, stronger, faster, and more conditioned.
5. We did not talk about it exactly but I think Jim would agree:) Help from professionals is best!

Funny Fitness Infomercial and The Best Fitness Holiday Gifts To Buy
When it comes to fitness there is a never ending supply of new inventions and gifts you could buy.
Here is one not on my list!:)
Ok now the real ones that are good gifts:)
1. Resistance Bands
Band training is great especially to increase power and power endurance. They are also great for stretching and becoming more mobile. Trust me bands can do things that weights cannot do but weights can do what bands cannot:)
2. The Grid Foam Roller
I started doing foam rolling just a few years ago and it has been amazing. No matter if you are an intense athlete or someone who never works out you can benefit from this. One person said it did not work. Remember the grid is not to roll fat off the body:) but instead it is like a massage.
3. Kettlebells are a great tool
I love the kettlebell but it takes knowledge and practice to be great at it. Kettlebells are not new and they should not be a fan. Stuff that you might see on tv is usually not what you are looking for in a kettlebell workout.
4. Eischens Yoga
This is the best yoga ever and for those that do not like the spiritual side of yoga he just takes you through the movements with no added fluff. And this one is best for athletes and beginners.
5. The Power Wheel
This is one of the best tools for core work
6. The Meal Movement
No more dieting and if you are on a meal plan I challenge you to switch to this one.
7. Last but NOT least sign up for http://www.expressfitnesscamps.com or at least get the free newsletter to the right. Ok this is a shameless plug but its free!
