Your clients have heard the same old advice for years — get more protein, load up on healthy whole foods, avoid excess carbs. Isn’t it time to give them a more personalized approach that reaches them on a genetic, not generic, level? This week's host Kristin Kirkpatrick is a dietitian and national expert on the science of nutrigenomics. In this episode she will break down the 45 genes that have an impact on your client’s health and wellness and will reveal which genes are the most important for building muscle, and losing fat.

A properly nourished human body is the greatest known pharmacy. No one has been able to duplicate it or we would not need vaccines. In fact, a vaccine is a “product that stimulates a person's immune system to produce immunity to a specific pathogen and related disease, protecting the person from that disease, i.e. the cure is created by the human body." Without proper nutrition, the immune system is poorly equipped to defend the body when exposed to pathogens. For this reason, we must take a “prevention before cure approach” when it comes to immunity support. On this episode, host Kat Barefield, MS, RD will cover the key micronutrients involved in the immune system, which ones many people fall short of, and how to build and support a strong immune system through nutrition.

Weeks in advance we program with the best of intentions. But the reality is that optimal loading is a daily conundrum between biology and logistics where individual variance reigns. Clients will tolerate and respond differently to the magnitude and frequency of training load, with too much stress leading to breakdown and possible degradation of health. In our quest for optimal adaptive responses, the application of training stress must be in line with our client’s current state of physical readiness. Autoregulatory adjustments in programming are every bit as necessary as system updates are for our smartphone devices.

In this episode, NASM Master Instructor Andy Hanley will expose you to some tools, techniques, and tactics that will facilitate you in guiding your client to better self-govern and adjust for what they are experiencing physically, mentally, and emotionally during the session. In the high-stress playground of the modern-day athlete or weekend warrior, the recipe for success requires a fluid, adaptive process involving both progressive and reactive manipulation of even pre-planned training stimuli.

Movement is more than muscles working in isolation. When we see faulty movement in our clients, we need to dig a little deeper to find a solution. So, if you want to get the most from your corrective exercise programming, you must know your slings. In this episode with Master Instructor Andrew Mills, learn about the four major muscle subsystems (slings) and why they are important to consider when selecting the right integration exercise. Subsystem coordination is critical for optimal performance and decreasing injury risk factors. Ultimately, you’ll see that developing healthy motor patterns (intermuscular coordination) is about more than just avoiding movement compensation.

Linear speed is a necessary characteristic for almost all ground-based athletes. And though we can train the strength, speed and power needs that form the foundations for getting fast, movement compensations frequently occur that will lead to energy leaks that diminish the end result. In this episode let NASM Master Instructor Chris Ecklund help you discover the top 3 common compensations, define and practice the corrective exercise strategies, and the coaching cues that are effective when addressing each compensation. 

If you want more personal training clients in a very short period of time and don’t have much money to spend on getting new clients, then this episode will blow you away. Learn 10 effective strategies to get personal training leads right away from guest host Michael Gelfgot.

It is estimated by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that by 2030 approximately 50% of American adults will be diagnosed with prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes. These are alarming numbers, and independent of the type of healthcare delivery system we provide, no population can sustain this rate of adult-onset disease. Nevertheless, we are genuinely a few steps from prevention.

On this episode, host Tony Ricci, EdD provides fitness professionals with a general review of the pathophysiology of diabetes and discusses the current research in exercise and nutrition that will help us see just how quickly we can start to reverse Type 2 diabetes in just a few small steps.

Kids love to play! So, let's capture their attention by creating fitness games that will motivate them, while providing a fun avenue to improve their fitness and sports performance. As most kids don’t tend to like long, slow distance-type exercise, fitness games that feature short bursts of activity followed by rest are just the ticket!

Join youth athlete expert Dr. Mike Bracko on this episode to get ideas on how to capture the attention of this population with relay races, partner drills, and exercise tag, all while teaching proper exercise technique. This show has it all for trainers who are looking to reenergize their youth programming, or simply wish to learn new techniques for training children and adolescents.

Whether you want to get stronger, bigger, or have better body composition, you must get sleep. This presentation examines the science of sleep and performance and extends this science by focusing on practical recommendations for all able-bodied and athletic populations.
