Happy Thanksgiving

on November 26, 2009 | by

So I’ve been told that not everyone is on Facebook, and/or they don’t check their Facebook everyday. With that being said, here’s a quick cut/paste job from yesterday’s Facebook status: Things to be thankful for this year: 1) Amazing family and friends (this includes all my amazing blog/newsletter readers as well!), 2) Healthy mind and […]

Exercise of the Week: Prone Row to External Rotation

on November 24, 2009 | by

The prone row to external rotation is a simple, yet effective exercise for improving scapular stability and external rotator strength at the shoulder. At IFAST, we often use these in the early stages of training to improve motor control. Once motor control is improved, all the “big-bang” exercies like dumbbell rows, chest supported rows, PNF […]

Break the Routine

on November 19, 2009 | by

Here’s a simple tip that I’ve used over the years to increase my productivity: Do absolutely, positively, whatever it takes to break your routine for one week. It’s amazing – as soon as I break my routine up a bit, my creativity soars. All of a sudden, taking a step back or away from the […]

Coaching Parallels

on November 18, 2009 | by

I witnessed an interesting phenomenon the other day. It was the day after the Colts game, and my wife and I were getting some things done around the house. We left the TV on over the course of the day, and fortunately for me, it was on Sportscenter. Now unless you’ve been living under a […]

I can barely put together a single coherent thought today, so rather than fight it I’ll do my best to make up for my lack of a random post on Friday. So, without any further ado, here’s Miscellaneous Monday! – There is only one word for that game last night: EPIC. In all honesty, it […]

Exercise of the Week: Crossover Step-ups

on November 12, 2009 | by

In this week’s edition of “Exercise of the Week,” we’re going to feature a new favorite at IFAST: The crossover step-up. Now before everyone begins spewing hate and calling me a “functional” guy, I like this exercise for a few reasons: – It trains the hips to move into internal and external rotation. Typically people […]

Where do YOU find inspiration?

on November 11, 2009 | by

In our industry, it’s easy to become jaded or callous. Whether it’s over-the-top marketing, outrageous claims, or simply a glass-is-half-empty mindset, I’m constantly asking myself questions: How can I stay motivated? How can I continue to be inspired? Here are several strategies I’ve used in the past. Hopefully one or two of them will work […]

Taking a Fat Loss Detour with Nia Shanks

on November 9, 2009 | by

Today, we’re going off the grid a bit and doing an interview with strength coach and personal trainer Nia Shanks. I think it’s something you’re really going to enjoy, as Nia has (what I consider to be) a great outlook on training and fat loss for women. Several months ago, I wrote up a blog […]

Pics Or It Didn’t Happen

on November 4, 2009 | by

No real theme or message here today, I just wanted to post some random pics and vids that had come my way over the past couple of weeks. * The first pic is an “after” picture from one of my online training clients, Eric Oetter. For comparison’s sake, here’s his before picture: Eric has not […]

Assess and Correct FAQ 1

on November 3, 2009 | by

Q: I purchased Assess and Correct, and while the DVDs haven’t arrived yet, the e-manuals are definitely thorough! One question I did have was what kind of durations you typically recommend for the static stretching when you have someone who is really in need of fast flexibility improvements? Also, do you just do the static […]

Assess and Correct vs Previous Products

on October 29, 2009 | by

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately regarding the differences between Assess and Correct, Magnificent Mobility, and Inside-Out. I’ll do my best to answer those questions here: What do your earlier DVD’s, Magnificent Mobility and Inside Out, cover that is not in Assess and Correct? There isn’t a ton of information in M2 and […]

Why I created Assess and Correct

on October 27, 2009 | by

Before I get started here, let me say this: Eric, Bill and I all created Assess and Correct. This blog post is about why I, personally, wanted to create the product.
