Mobile personal trainer asks “How savvy is your fitness knowledge”?

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

When it comes to exercise, us at Trainers On Site like to think we know fitness!

One of our favorite websites to frequent is Discovery Health.

Discovery health has plenty of factual information and sometimes cool activites to do within their website.

For example check out this excersie fitness test. It takes only 5 minutes and you find out how great your personal knowledge is when it comes to health and wellness.

Be sure to leave a comment and let us know your score. Were you as savvy as you thought you were?

Mobile Personal Trainer on Resistance Training Equipment

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Hey guys,

On this post I want to discuss what type of equipment do you use with your resistance training.

Are you a believer of Bands?

Do you benefit from Barbells?

Or do dumbbells deliver?

Bands

I like bands personally for many different reasons;

  • They are portable
  • They are affordable
  • They provide varied resistance

With bands, when you start the exercise the load is easy but gradually becoming increasingly harder every inch into the movement.

Bands weigh virtually nothing but when expanded they can be a tough load on the desired muscle.

Barbells…

The reason why barbells are great is;

  • You can lift very heavy weight
  • Very sturdy
  • You can perform power movements

Barbells usually require a great deal of space and are most often used in a gym setting. One would have to be an experienced exercise enthusiast to use barbells.

Dumbbells

Dumbbells rock because;

  • They are portable
  • You can recruit a great deal of stabilizer muscles with them
  • The required resistance

Dumbbells give you the same resistance at the start of the movement all the way through until the end. If you are investing in dumbbells, invest in Bowflex select techs http://www.fitnesssource.ca

You surely don’t want to invest in 17 different sets of dumbbells and pay double the price?

Don’t forget to leave your comment on the blog on which you prefer, Bands , Barbells, or Dumbbells?

Now, due to the popularity and success my clients are having, I am thinking it should become mandatory for all my clients.
