Dysfunctional Training Programs Revealed

Hi everyone,
I came across this interesting video from the National Academy of Sport's Medicine (NASM) speaking about the importance of Corrective Exercise. It is so well backed that even some Doctor's are certified in it and back the methodologies used. The video explains all about the Corrective Exercise approach to training. Also, know that my company (New Strength Dynamics) offers and endorses Corrective Exercise. Please visit us at www.newstrengthdynamics.com after watching the video to learn even more about how we can help you to finally live pain free and move more functionally to avoid injury.

H.I.I.T

Hi everyone,

It has been awhile since I have posted, but I want to share with you how excited I am about these new High Intensity Interval training (HIIT) sessions I have been using lately. The basis behind HIIT are six to ten repetitions of high intensity exercise (4-6 sets), separated by medium intensity exercise or  a very short break.(1 minute). Most sessions only last between 8-12 minutes and never more than 20. This form of circuit training burns a lot of calories, increases endurance and strength. A lot of the exercises focus around your core and mainly consist of body weight exercises, but some exercises do incorporate weight as well. Here is an example program with the video to demonstrate. Thank you BodyRock! (www.bodyrock.tv)
