Great article in Best Life Magazine about 10 exercise machines you should avoid.
Defenders of stationary equipment argue that machines are designed to limit what you can do wrong. But seated machines often put heavier loads on the back and joints than is necessary, and almost always miss the mark when it comes to replicating the movements found in everyday life.
The 10 “better exercises” (i.e. to do instead of the 10 exercises to avoid) are all exercises that we do in my Vancouver boot camp program.
Interesting article on CNN.com about how to deal with bad gym behaviour.
Sticking to a workout schedule is never easy, but it’s harder still when you’re bombarded with bad gym behavior. A quick look at user comments about health clubs on Yelp.com, a consumer-review Web site, reveals spats over sweaty equipment, personal space and wayward disinfectant.
The article’s recommendation on how to deal with these problems:
You have people who are full of testosterone or are taking supplements and already hyped up when they come in to work out,” he says. “When that mixes with an aggressive personality, you’ve got somebody who can easily get into an altercation. So if there’s a problem, it’s best to bring it to the attention of the people who work there. It’s part of their job to deal with this stuff; don’t try to tackle it yourself.
I have a better suggestion: cancel your gym membership and join an outdoor boot camp program. If you’re locked into a long-term gym membership contract, chalk it up as a bad purchase (you should never agree to a gym membership contract any longer than 3 months), make sure it’s not set to auto-renew when it expires, and immediately move on.
My Vancouver boot camp is an effective, affordable, challenging, rewarding, and perhaps most importantly fun. The last point is important because the more you enjoy your fitness program and your quest towards a healthier lifestyle, the more likely you’ll be to stick with it and make those positive changes a permanent part of your way of living.
Another important benefit of joining an outdoor boot camp program run by a certified personal trainer: IDEA Health & Fitness Association released a statistic from a study that found that 75% of people who exercise are not getting the results they want. Of the 25% of people getting the results that they want, 90% of them are working with a personal trainer.
