Defined Fitness Tip For Results 30: Aha's" From Perform Better

This past weekend we spent in Baltimore at a Perform Better Workshop. They always put on great workshops with great presenters. Here is a list of some of our "aha moments" and things that we learned.

1. People with back pain, typically have stronger backs than people without back pain, because they are using their backs. Found by Stuart McGill research

2. If you have pain anywhere the core is not engaging properly.

3. People who fail are those who are stuck in their methods. Look at who is having success and then do what they are doing.

4. Start on the floor with Lunges with people and work from the bottom up.

5. John Wooden coaching philosophy – show them the right way, show them the wrong way, then show them the right way again. Do this in 10 seconds.

6. Back squats cause more injuries than Deadlifts, because on back squats the weight is pushing down on the body.

7. Jogging is hopping on 1 leg at 2-4 times bodyweight for 750 reps each side just to burn 100 calories.

8. We’ve been measuring calorie burn wrong. All equations look only at aerobic caloric burn, but not anaerobic caloric burn. Research is showing that anaerobic calorie burn is much higher. Meaning we are burning more calories than be shown with equations for activities such as weight training, interval training, and even daily activities.

9. The way you do one thing is the way you do everything.
