In today’s Wellness Minute we separate the facts from the fiction about those vibration fitness training machines that are showing up in gyms everywhere. A recent study did show that using the machine can stimulate your muscles by increasing blood flow to your muscles. And in some case increased bone density. But beware…don’t think that you can just stand on the machine and not do any cardio or strength training and get those results.  And really watch out if your pregnant or have a bad back. Take as listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips. Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy’s Wellness Minutes improve your health in 3 minutes a day or less.

 

 interview with matt bryzcki fitness expert: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

On tonight’s show, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about the truth behind some common fitness myths from our good friend Matt Brzycki, author of Youth Fitness: An Action Plan for Shaping America’s Kids which is coming out soon.

Matt is the Assistant Director of Campus Recreation at Princeton University and has over 25 years experience at the collegiate level as a coach, instructor and administrator.

Tonight he talked about the importance of doing each repetition in your strength training workout with good form and energy. Remember the goal when you are strength training is to approach muscle fatigue. He also had some great tips on how to choose your next personal trainer. Believe it or not just because your trainer is ripped, in great shape and has an awesome foreign accent that isn’t enough to decide if he/she is the trainer for you. Make sure your trainer has experience, is getting continuing education all the time, has insurance and is a good listener. And also remember a college degree in exercise science should hold more weight than a weekend trainer certification.

Matt’s wisdom can also be found on the pages of Fitness Management magazine where he is a columnist www.fitnessmanagement.com . You can check his books out online at Amazon or Barnes and Noble or through www.cardinalpub.com

On tonight’s show, Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy learn all about some more fitness and body building myths from Matt Bryzcki, Fitness Expert from Princeton University.

Matt comes on each month and dispels some of the strength training and exercise myths that get spread around the internet. Tonight he went after body builders. A lot of super buff looking body builders have websites that give out a lot of bad information about losing weight and getting in shape. For instance Matt shared a story about one body builder who started smoking to lose weight for his competition. He then started eating baby food in an effort to consume more potassium (he never heard of bananas, I guess). Matt is almost finished with his new book about Youth Fitness called Youth Fitness: An Action Plan for Shaping America’s Kids. He also talked about some of the books and magazines that influenced him. Check out Matt’s books at any Barnes and Noble, on Amazon or straight from his publisher at www.cardinalpub.com

And did you know their is a right way to use the StairMaster and a wrong way. Who knew? We found out that you burn less calories than the machine says if you are holding on to the rails.

˜Liz Neporent had some great ideas for ”greening” our workouts. She says working out with DVDs at home while leaving the Prius in the driveway are a great way to start. In fact, for every 4 copies of the Element: Yoga for Beginners and Yoga: Ballet Conditioning DVDs (http://tinyurl.com/2nn3xs) sold, the Arbor Day Foundation plants a tree in a national forest. Good for you, good for all.™

In addition to working out at home here are some of her other tips to green up your workouts: 1- run, jog or walk to the gym instead of drive; 2-Be conscious use re-usable water bottles instead of disposable ones; 3-Recycle-your old sneakers instead of throwing them away. She has more eco-friendly workout tips on her website www.w360.com

Liz was recently named contributing editor to Prevention Magazine. Look for her health and fitness articles in the New York Daily News and her opinions on fitness as a part of lifestyle and pop culture appear monthly in ACE Fitness. She is the author of several of the “Dummies” books including: Fitness Walking for Dummies, Weight Training for Dummies, Fitness for Dummies and her latest book The Fat Free Truth.
