Think Fit. Be Fit.

These conversations are the reason WHY Jenn started this podcast.   The way we exercise is a direct reflection on how we view the body.  The Exercise Science Insider episodes are designed to show you that exercise is so much more than meets the eye.

This episode lays out some critical thinking pieces about exercise and training for sports that you can apply NOW and when our gyms and fields open back up    Theme for part 2: How learning the skill of an exercise or a sport skill can contribute to being injury free, confident, athletic and fit.   READ THIS White Paper from Gregory Gordon   Topics covered: Recap of our first episode, find it here  The importance of having a bandwidth of error How virtual training can be more effective exercise Tactile and verbal feedback- when it’s most helpful Electrical stimulation is not the same as teaching muscles in a rehab setting   Links of interest: Exercise Intelligence  https://www.instagram.com/exercise_intelligence/ https://linktr.ee/exercise_intelligence   Jenn on instagram https://www.instagram.com/impact_your_fitness/

Learning and skill acquisition have a big domain in the discussion on healthy exercise.

This episode is a fun dive in to the inner workings of an intellectual connection to exercise.  Jenn’s guest today is  someone she calls a friend, mentor and colleague; Gregory Gordon MA of Exercise Intelligence. He is a movement scientist with a specialization in pain science and motor learning who practices MAT RX and customizes strength and conditioning programs.  He has notable experiences in providing continuing education courses for Cybex International in neuroscience based content and received his Masters degree in Motor Learning and Control from Teachers College, Columbia University.

 

If you are a personal trainer, this episode will directly influence your view on the body and what is actually important when it comes to overall fitness from a brain and motor learning perspective. 

 

If you are an exercise lover, this episode has information for programming your workouts for accessing all types of muscle fibers.

 

If you are in athletic coaching, you’ll love how this content explains that perfect practice is a waste of time.  

 

There are so many concepts from the typical personal training manual  that get blown out of the water in this episode! Please check out the links and references.

 

Topics that we covered:

• Rethinking personal training
• Exercise as skill development
• Phases of skill acquisition
• Essentialization in exercise: strategic weekly planning of accessing all motor units all while consistently working on all the body’s capabilities safely progress. 
• Differences between motor learning and motor control and motor performance
• Power and velocity from the Motor Learning lens
• Muscle memory (implicit and explicit)

Quarantine and Chill with Ryan Crossfield!  Meet Jenn's new friend, LA based coach Ryan Crossfield.  He is an introverted Health & Performance Coach with a lot of experience optimizing health and body composition.  This is essentially a conversation between two exercise professionals that are not seeing clients due to the pandemic shutdown and social distancing.  It should be obvious that both Jenn and Ryan enjoy optimizing their health and live the healthy life.    We are reviewing Ryan's Quarantine and Chill guide, which can be found here. http://www.staystrongsc.com/blog   "With social-distancing in full swing, it may seem like options for improving your health are down to Quarantine and Chill, or participating in the scourge of bodyweight workouts that are woefully ineffective at promoting long-term results.

Now more than ever we are reflecting on community and depending on one another.  This interdependency makes us fundamentally human. While we are deeply entrenched in the culture of productivity it is hard to recognize the importance of community and the one-ness of good health.  This episode is a conversation about building a community with the goal of human expansion and taking calm, conscious action.     Today’s episode features Jane Bannehman founder and president of Nectar Yoga.  It was such an honor and a pleasure to sit down with her.     She is an entrepreneur, consultant and coach.  Her yoga studios in Northern Virginia serve up a a wide variety of classes including teacher trainings, hot yoga, vinyasa flow and vet yoga.  They strive to bring together community and yoga without an attitude.    Her resume includes roles in wellness leadership and serving on national advisory boards for the American Council of Exercise and American Fitness Studios and time at Georgetown University and university VA, managing campus wellness programs and facilities    At the core of this conversation is spiritual growth and business leadership.  We are here for transformations, abundance and leadership.  The virus and factory noise of fear hasn’t changed this, this episode was recorded on 2/18/20.    

• Measuring the connectivity of your community
• The cultivation of community in health 
• At Jane’s studios: Yoga program for First Responders, Military, Veterans & Military spouses https://nectaryogastudios.com/powernectaryoga/
• The scope of yoga and healing trauma
• Healing the subtle and physical body of our beings
• Jenn’s history with yoga and trauma

We are in interesting and uncharted territory, so this episode is about keeping immunity high and being there for one another.  This pandemic is bigger than YOU - and requires action for the community at large... and aren’t we all curious on how the immune system works and how we can  keep life as normal as possible? 

We are all experiencing deep fear of the unknown and anxiety about what’s to come.  While I don’t have an expertise in immunity, I do believe that if we take a step back and learn about our immune system that we can better navigate in this tumultuous time.
