Neural Activation Training

By healthhabits, October 19, 2010

For the past few months, a lot of you have been following my Deadpool Workouts. In particular, you have been following version #4 – designed to build strength & power while melting off body-fat at a ridiculous rate. (here’s a sample workout) Simply put, it’s a powerful workout. But…with great power comes great responsibility. And 2 months ago, I “responsibly” told you that how you spend your time away from the gym depended upon your needs & how your body was recovring from these workouts. But then I watched this video…and literally kicked my own ass for not thinking of this first.

Neural Activation Workouts

In an attempt to:

• eliminate nervous system fatigue,
• recover from workouts faster,
• improve workout performance, and
• see better results

Strength coach Christian Thibaudeau started having his client perform these very brief workouts each & every day. And for the past few weeks, I have been beta testing these mini-workouts on myself and a few selected human lab rats. The Results Fantastic. Keeping in mind that our results are mostly anecdotal, I am pretty psyched about adding these mini workouts into the mix. And because I realize that most of us don’t have the time, interest or resources to head to the gym 1-3 times per day to workout, I have focused on bodyweight, band & dumbbell/kettlebell exercises. As well, because these 5-10 minute workouts utilize low reps & low weights, you probably won’t even sweat. In fact, one of my clients does his afternoon session in his office while wearing a suit & tie – jacket off of course. . In tomorrow’s post, I will outline the details and starting next week, we include them in the Health Habits Workout Series .

What Does Your Health Club Do For You?

Comments (0)

By healthhabits, October 11, 2010

What does your health club (or personal trainer, or iphone app, or online fitness community, or fitness magazine, etc) do for you?

If your club is like my club, then they….

• provide fitness equipment and space to exercise
• offer the advice of their in-house fitness professionals
• blend up the latest in post-workout nutrition
• schedule fitness classes at convenient times
• bring in guest speakers to increase your fitness IQ

And, if they do all that, then you’re getting top notch health club service.

So, why is it that after I read this article from marketing guru Seth Godin, I got the feeling that today’s health club industry is doomed for extinction?

Or hopefully…evolution.

Question(s)

Why is it that over 70% of all new health club members stop coming to the gym within 3 months?

And why is it that most of the remaining 30% don’t look much better than we they first joined?

And why is it that today’s health & fitness industry doesn’t seem to care?

The Answer?

Because the current health & fitness industry is still focused on delivering products and services instead of solutions.

Think about it – most people go to a health club to burn off some fat & to get fit.

How they do it is irrelevant.

Or at least it should be.

The goal is what matters……and the health club (or personal trainer, or iphone app, or online fitness community, or fitness magazine, etc) than can shift their focus toward the goals of their clients and away from the latest fitness trend becomes indispensable to their clients.

And in my opinion, this style of thinking is a big part of the reason why Crossfit has become a major player in the health & fitness industry.

They provide results better than anyone else.
