This could be the most important podcast the we have ever done. Seriously. Jamie Oliver has started a new show called “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution,” and it is amazing. If you haven’t seen the show we highly recommend that you do after listening to this podcast. It’s time that we get off of our butts and do something about the POISON they are feeding our children. Oh and there just may be an F bomb or two today, you’ve been warned.

Kian — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 10:00:30 +0000

Kian — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 10:00:30 +0000

Ep 80: Music!

A couple quick notes:

Barefoot may not be the best choice for everyone.

I'm still not a fan of motion controlled shoes.

Lateral rotation and Pronation are different

Ep 47: What We Do Wrong

Kian — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:22:05 +0000

Here Are Some Crazy Things Trainers Do

We've all seen it and we all know what it is. Crazy people. Why do we need to train to the limits? Who knows, but on today's podcast we're talking about that fine line between totally insane and actually awesome.

[podcast format="video"]http://tfapodcasts.s3.amazonaws.com/October/Friday1113.m4a[/podcast]

So often when walking around the gym I notice a lot of people doing things wrong. I ask myself "why are they doing that exercise that way" or “why does that trainer have them doing that?"

My favorite is watching trainers over train their clients. The key to being a good trainer is balancing making the client feel good and being productive. Yes, some people love “hardcore” trainers, but what I am talking about is making a workout hurt the client for days afterwards. After a workout you should feel it the next day but it shouldn’t make you not be able to do anything. I often hear trainers talking about the pain they put s client through. I don’t get it!

What I really would like for you to focus on this weekend while you work out is just to think, why do I do this? If that’s from why do you workout in general. Rethinking about that might get you motivated for the next week. If it’s why do I do this exercise you might rethink what you’re doing and make your work out better. It’s always good to take a second and self reflect on what you doing, especially with your fitness goals. Do that this weekend, and start off next week with a rejuvenated spirit.

What do you look at when you look yourself in the mirror!
