Holiday Fitness Guilt

   Yes, it's that time of year. 

• The Twelve Days of Christmas 
• New Years
• New Year's Eve
• Demanding children
• Visits to or from relatives and in laws who don't give a hoot if you miss a hard workout because of them
• Travelling to visit same relatives who will plan your schedule that does not allow for gym time or outdoor pursuits
• Ample food feasts 
• Traditional quaffing of Dad Hetke's homemade hooch -  disguised as egg nogg 
• Mom's Christmas pudding with the extra ration of thickened rum sauce
• Reduced business hours at the Fitness Center
• NFL and NCAA Football
• World Junior Hockey on TV

Mix all of these ingredients together and there is the fear that that hard earned abdominal six pack could turn into a soft bouncing jelly belly!

   Of course, not all families are inactive during this time of year. Many families take time for skiing, skating parties, and other active holiday functions.
If you belong to a clan that will insist on a sedentary season there may be some ways around it:

• Use shopping trips as a chance for some walking exercise. 
• Park at the far end of the mall
• Avoid escalators and use the stairs
• Cruise the mall before buying the presents
• Do an extra loop of the mall
• Offer to take the clan children out for some snow time. (Good luck. Getting today's youth away from their electronic devices may prove impossible.)
• Turn down that second helping of dessert. Test your resolve. 
• Maybe you can even convert the clan and organize a morning walk or a post meal skate. !
• If relatives are nearby, walk instead of drive if the distance is reasonable

   None of these tactics may be effective. The Holiday gravity of gluttony and grog guzzling plus the many demands on your personal time may leave you feeling unfit and sluggish.
 
Get rid of the guilt! It's only for a week or so. Most sensible fitness training programs have built in periods of down time to let the body recover from exercise stress. All those little micro fibers of the muscles need healing time. Use the Christmas Holidays for such recovery. Ideally  active rest with some movement is best. The detraining effect will be minimal.
   You just might have to be patient and determined when you start back up. But it will be possible!
It will be New Year's Resolution time.

Season's Greetings

Little Bobby Strong  

Skip the escalator at the mall. Take the stairs and burn some calories.

Controversial Exercise - The Leg Extension Machine

Pumped up iron aficionados often like to demonstrate their strength in the weight room.
 In my athletic prime I did it too. I used to lift the whole stack on the Nautilus Leg Extension Machine. I don't remember the exact weight but I think it was around 220 pounds or 100 kilograms. It wasn't a single lift but rather a set of 20 repetitions for one set. My quadriceps muscles would be screaming for mercy from the 12 Apostles by the 15th rep. Nothing could seem to match the leg extension machine for carving out the muscles of the front thigh. As for the sacred muscle pump, leg extensions reigned supreme.
  Now, years later, I get episodes of nagging knee pain!  Throughout my years of  sporting life my knees were the rare joints that weren't injured. The evidence for me to  blame Leg Extension Machines is only anecdotal but still compelling. However sports science seems to share my view.
   Performing an exercise such as the squat causes compression force. The load of the weight is spread throughout the body with shoulders through the torso through the legs to the feet absorbing the gravitational force.  The weighted load from a leg extension is at the upper ankle joint. This creates shear force pushing downward directly on the knee joint. Short term damage or sudden injury are unlikely. However years of accumulated grinding could lead to long term instability and in the extreme case conditions of osteoarthritis may occur.  
    The ligaments and tendons supporting this joint are not designed to withstand extreme or excessive shear force. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament(ACL), the Lateral Cruciate Ligament (LCL), the Medial Cruciate Ligament (MCL) and the Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) all provide support for the knee. Ligament tissue receives little blood flow and does not get larger or stronger in response to exercise the way muscle does.
   The Patella (kneecap) shields the underlying meniscus or articular cartilage that lubricates and cushions the 3 bones that join at the knee. Sudden stops, traumatic force or constant overuse can damage the intricate balance of this important location of the human organism.

   The 4 muscles of the upper thigh are called the quadriceps. This is the anatomical profile:

1. Vastus Lateralis - Outer muscle of the upper thigh.
2. Vastus Intermedius- Middle muscle of the upper thigh.
3. Vastus Medialis- Inner muscle of the upper thigh. This muscle can take on a tear drop shape especially using a leg extension machine.
4. Rectus Femoris - Overlies the other 3 quadriceps muscles. 

   The leg extension machine is an isolation exercise.  It isolates the quadriceps but does not engage the other muscles of the thigh, The hamstrings, the adductors, the abductors and the glutes are not participants in the movement, This exercise also enables movement only through the knee joint. The hip joint is not engaged.Hip flexor muscles muscles such as the Psoas, the Gracilis, and the Iliacus are mostly left out of the equation with the Leg Extension Machine.

   This exercise is not functional to any practical movement or athletic motion. Squats, deadlifts, lunges or even walking or running stairs or hills mimic movements that are more realistic to normal motion. As for building strong muscular thighs, have you ever seen the legs of a sprint cyclist?. Hard brief intervals on a bike are super leg developers. Speed skating and sprint running also develop leg strength. 

   Is there anyone that might find use from the leg extension machine?  Bodybuilders could benefit from such an isolation movement and the effect of creating visible separation of the quadriceps muscles. Even then, bodybuilders usually perform squats or leg presses first and use leg extension machines for fine tuning.  
  *** The most important muscles in lower body locomotion are the gluteus maximus muscles of the buttocks. If these muscles are weaker than the quadriceps then numerous postural problems can occur. The over active hip flexors can pull the body into anterior pelvic or sway back. Many distance runners can be skinny and have little belly fat but the front pelvic tilt makes it look like they have a gut.

All weight training movements have some potential for risk. Fitness Trainers should be aware of the risk / reward ratios of each prescribed exercise. The type of apparatus used is also a significant factor.
Some leg extension machines are poorly designed and can feel awkward and uncomfortable. Equipment such as Nautilus or Life Circuit are of superior design and safer to use.

   The Leg Extension Machine does build strong and well developed front thigh muscles.
It does not develop functional strength that is specific to every day movement. It is an exercise that should be done carefully. It also should not be the only front thigh exercise used in any training program.

Until Next Time,....Keep Fit

Leg Extensions do pump up the upper Quad muscles.
Proceed with extreme caution! 

The Multi Hip Machine offers knee and hip flexion
 similar to a running motion. Less risk of long term damage!

The Super Client

!   One of my original fitness training clients recently passed away. He was more than a client. He was a mentor, a source of financial wisdom, a confidente and a friend. He left a significant legacy.He was a PhD in chemistry and a financial wizard. I learned more from him than I taught him about fitness. He will be greatly missed. The following is a blog that I wrote about him 10 years ago.

Every Fitness Trainer needs a client like Mordi ! Mordi was one of my earliest clients. He was referred to me by Charlie, my first client. Mordi fit the bill of super client status.
   For a Fitness Trainer, all clients should be considered valuable commodities. Some will be inspired and use your expertise and knowledge to transform themselves physically. Some just show up, do as you tell them and go about their way without wanting to interact much. Others may use you as a sounding board about their lives as they do your prescribed exercises.
Few of us can afford to be selective and must adapt to all types.
 
Then there is the Super Client! This would be someone who enriches your life experience as you are pumping them up and cajoling them on the exercise bike.This would be someone like Mordi.
Here is what makes this client special .

• Mordi admitted that he needs the commitment with a Fitness Trainer for him to adhere to an exercise program. This is never a bad thing for a trainer.
• Mordi was a good source of referrals for other potential customers.
• He was a great mentor for business advice being that he was an entrepreneur par excellence. For a rookie Fitness Trainer such advice was like gold.
• Mordi was also a wise philosopher on the nuances of human existence. I like to think that I became wiser just through osmosis.
• He was a voracious pupil in the weight room when his mood was right. His eager capacity to lift heavy weights sometimes needed to be tempered with moderation. 
• He constantly challenged my views on nutrition and physiology. Doctor Mordecai (Mordi) had a PhD in chemistry. His science background was light years more extensive than mine. It forced me to constantly keep abreast of current fitness knowledge.

   A less patient Fitness Trainer might describe him as a potentially difficult client. Why would this be?

• He could occasionally be a master of avoidance. A favored tactic was to start passionately arguing politics just before a planned high intensity workout on the stationary bike? 
• Mordi made a convincing argument that the hot tub could be considered a substitute for cardiovascular training.
• Mordi won many a battle of wills and convinced me to join him on countless post workout visits to a local pub and eatery called Joey T's.
• He usually vetoed my suggestion of carrot juice and salad for orders of fortified elixirs and less than lean cuisine.
• His flirtatious banter with the barmaids of Joey T's was of the sort that might draw the wrath of today's political correct whiners. The barmaids never complained. They took his tips and flirted back

   Mordi had little patience for the foolish, the lazy, the entitled and the dishonest. He did not tolerate

poor or indifferent service. He did tolerate most of my humor. In fact he said it made the tough workouts more bearable. At times when my Fitness Training career was struggling, he lifted my spirits by telling me that I was good motivator. Mordi has also been the number one supporter of my fitness blog! 

   On every visit that I make back to Edmonton, Canada, I make sure to get together with Mordi. 

The motivation that I gave him when working out he has given back in with advice and confidence building pep talks - usually over fortified elixirs and pub grub. Each visit his personna becomes more and more legendary.

   Fitness Trainers should pray for such clients! Not only are they good for business, they lift your craft to where it is more than just a job.   

   Mordi is a successful self made man - except for his massive, muscular upper body. 

I take some credit for helping build that!
Let's toast the Super Client with a carrot juice - or something stronger!

Look at those magnificent guns!
Unquestionably a super client.

Until next time,...Keep Fit

Who Has the Juice ????

He has the Juice !
Actually that's my brother in law's homemade Maple Syrup
in the hands of a performance enhanced juicer.  It's all natural
and it won't trigger a positive drug test.

I waited impatiently for the scandal to erupt like a smoking volcano.  There was warning smoke and there were flaming plumes but no full fledged eruption - yet !

The I.A.A.F. World Championships (Track and Field) were held a few weeks ago in Beijing, China. As always, I look forward to such events with anticipation. Track and field rarely receives much television coverage in North America. Fortunately this year was a windfall. The Pan American Games were held in Toronto so the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC) covered the events especially track and field. Two weeks later the CBC also had coverage of the World Championships. I was like an opium addict                                                                                   set loose in a wild poppy field.

This athletic buffet was not without the presence of possible and potential pitfalls of performance impropriety.There were some ominous storm clouds conjuring on the horizon that suggested a scandal to come:

• Russian racewalkers withdrew from the world championships due to drug innuendos from a German documentary.
• Russian distance runners including a woman Olympic champion were filmed discussing using doping products.
• The Russian Anti Doping Federation was alleged to be guilty of systemic corruption and cover ups.
• Another documentary shows Kenyan physicians openly admitting to providing E.P.O to Kenyan distance runners.
• According to the Track and Field News and the U.K. Daily Mail, other rogue nations suspected of systemic doping programs include Morocco, Turkey and Ukraine. 
• A BBC documentary discovered that numerous drug tests showed blood profile irregularities in 1/3 of Olympic and World Championship medallists since 2001.
• The same BBC investigation took aim at a target who was one of my running heroes. Alberta Salazar is the coach of the Nike Oregon Project which is a team of elite, mostly American, distance runners sponsored by the sports apparel giant. Salazar was a former world record holder in the marathon. Supposedly he provided prescription performance enhancers to an athlete  (or athletes) that was not prescribed to them. 
• Salazar is also a coaching adviser to the British track team He coaches British Olympic and world champion Mo Farah. Farah has not been linked to any performance enhancing drugs other that by his association with his coach. Salazar denies any guilt.
• Some Jamaican sprinters have returned from suspensions for using stimulants. It does not necessarily mean that Jamaica is guilty of state sponsored doping. At least, I hope not!

   My fears proved unfounded. There were no major drug test failures at the World Championships. Only a few lesser lights tested positive. Usain Bolt was supreme. Mo Farah won 2 gold medals. The Canadian Track and Field team had its best showing ever on a world stage. Programs that support Canadian athletes are  paying dividends on at the elite levels of competition.

  

  I watched every event and watched the replays over again. I was in sports Heaven viewing such excellence in action. Athletes ran fast; jumped high; and threw far. Track and Field seems to have survived and avoided the possible scandalous eruption. However as I absorbed this magnificent spectacle on my big screen there was this nagging, persistent, cynical voice of skepticism in my head that kept barking in my ear.   "Who has the juice !!!!!!"

Until next time, ..........Keep Fit

Fitness Trainer Hall of Shame - Pascal Dauriac

                     Scandal!      Slayings!     Shenanigans!     Shock!      Shame!           

   

   Don't go beyond your scope of practice as a Fitness Trainer.

   This might include giving nutritional advice to someone with an eating disorder, trying to diagnose a medical condition, or dealing with client issues beyond your expertise and comfort level.
   In such circumstances always refer the client to the appropriate professional. This referral could be to a physician or a Registered Dietitian or some other more qualified expert. We can now add another example of a Fitness Trainer going beyond the skill level and expertise of what should be expected.

   Do not agree to hire a hit man to murder the mother-in-law of your client !!!!!!

Surprisingly, this is not an action that would fall within the Fitness Trainer's scope of practice or code of professional conduct. Apparently, it is also considered a major felony in most countries that follow the rule of law.  A hit man is not the sort of qualified professional that should be on your referral list. 

   I just read a riveting and interesting article in the November 2014 edition of Vanity Fair  magazine

entitled "Murder Made in Monaco" written by Mark Seal. 

  Wojciech Janowski lived with the daughter of a wealthy woman industrialist in Monaco. They never married. The woman industrialist mother, Helene Pastor was supposedly Monaco's richest woman. Helene Pastor never liked Janowski. She thought he was a gold digger. The daughter, Sylvia Ratowski-Pastor, came down with breast cancer. Janowski feared that should his partner die, the mother would ensure that the family wealth would bypass him and go to his partner's daughter. Common law marriage s are not held in the same same legal esteem in Monaco as they are in North America. 

   Wojceich Janowski was health conscious enough to have a Personal Trainer. The Personal Trainer, Pascal Dauriac operated his training business, Pascal Dauriac International, out of Nice in the nearby French Riviera.  Kudos to Janowski for placing importance on his physical well being.

   The alleged sequence of events have yet to be proven in a court of law.

1. Janowski began to introduce his Fitness Trainer to potential business prospects in Monaco.  The trainer, Dauriac, felt especially indebted to Janowski.
2. Janowski then asked Dauriac to obtain a gun for him so he could kill his pseudo mother-in- law Helene Pastor.  Dauriac refused.
3. Janowski began to become aloof around Dauriac and give him the cold shoulder. Dauriac feared losing his biggest client since he only made about $3000.00 a month. He supplemented his Fitness income by selling essential oils. (Fellow Fitness Trainers - can you sort of relate to some of this?)
4. Janowski approached his Fitness Trainer again after the brief freeze out period. This time he requested that Dauriac find somone else who would knock off the pseudo mother-in-law.  This time Dauriac agreed. After all, shouldn't a Fitness Trainer go that extra mile out of customer appreciation? Plus there was the promise of a lucrative bonus!
5. Luckily Dauriac's  live-in girlfriend had a seedy brother who had connections with the Marseilles underworld. Dauriac approached the seedy brother with an offer. 
6. The seedy brother recruited two drug dealer gangster types for the hit.  
7. The two hit men took a train across the border to Nice, France where the pseudo Mother-in-law was visiting her son in the hospital where he was recovering from a stroke. Their reasoning was that there are fewer cops per capita in Nice than in Monaco.
8. Helene Pastor was ambushed in her mini-van by an assailant with a sawed off shotgun. This pseudo mother-in law was wounded and died 15 days later. Her chauffeur died instantly at the wheel.
9. The ingenious hit men neglected to wear masks or disguises. The also made it look like a robbery thus inadvertently leaving behind DNA evidence.
10. The police used eyewitness testimony, a search of the usual suspects, cell phone records and DNA to identify the hit men.
11. More cell phone records led the police to the brother, the sister and then to her  the Personal Trainer boyfriend Pascal Dauriac. More cell phone records and bank transactions finally led to the murder victim's pseudo son-in-law Wojciech Janowski. The Personal Trainer also ratted out his wealthiest client.
12. Wojciech and his Fitness Trainer Pascal Dauriac are now in custody. So are the hit men.

    Pascal Dauriac should have referred his client to the local law enforcement agency.   

The accused has yet to be tried. He is presumed innocent until found guilty. If he is found guilty

he will likely be sentenced to a lengthy period of incarceration. Pascal Dauriac will also then have his name enshrined on the hallowed walls of................  the Fitness Trainer Hall of Shame!

Handing over a bag of cash to a contract killer as a go-between
 in a murder for hire!  Absolutely NOT within a
Fitness Trainer's scope of practice !

Until Next Time,........Keep Fit

Follow the Bouncing Bosu Ball

   Fitness trends come and go. The mid to late 1990's saw a new trend in fitness explode unto the market - stability balls. These came in the form of  full balls and the half sphere Bosu Balls.
The theory behind exercise orbs is simple:

1. Exercise balls force you to work harder to keep your balance
2. The balance issue causes you to rely on your core (midsection) more than usual thus causing greater strength adaptation for that important section of the body
3. A stronger core makes for better athletes and fitter people
4. Improved balance should make for a better athlete and fitter people
5. Hockey superstar Sydney Crosby has done extensive exercise ball training. Not only does he have phenomenal core stability and balance, he has a pair of arguably the strongest legs in any team sport. 

New studies suggest that  the benefits from this exercise
may be compromised using this Bosu Ball.

However there may be a new scientific take
on this matter. A recent study from the
University of Eastern Illinois studied the
effectiveness of Bosu Balls on balance and strength. This study concluded that:
extensive training on on Bosu Balls does not lead to any  statistically significant increases in core strength or balance when carried over to a stable surface!

   It has also been common knowledge that training on an unstable surface such as a Bosu Ball will compromise strength gains since greater loads can be lifted on a stable surface. Specificity also becomes an issue. How many sports or activities actually take place standing on a half ball?
   
   You may get some argument from Greg Harvey. Greg is one of Canada's most proficient and successful Fitness Trainers and is the C.E.O and proprietor of Fit N Well in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He points out that previous studies have shown that Bosu Balls are effective for core and balance training. Greg's own client data base  has documented case histories of improvements using stability balls as one of the training tools.  I went back to the research and tried to find out more.

• Previous scientific studies used mostly untrained test subjects.
•  Improvements in core strength and balance were noted. 
• Untrained individuals will respond to most training stimuli.  
• The recent study used trained test subjects.
• Trained subjects will likely have developed core strength and balance skills therefore improvement will be less than in untrained subjects.
• The studies used only the Bosu Balls in training. 
• Had they studied Bosu Ball training in conjunction with regular training on a stable surface would they have discovered improvements in strength and fitness?  

   It should also be noted that exercise science is a relatively recent and rapidly evolving field of study. At one time athletes were discouraged from lifting weights for fear that they would become
muscle bound. A juicy steak was considered the ideal pre-game meal. Menthol cigarettes were considered cardiovascular fitness enhancers. (or was that just my Dad's theory?) Now we mostly know otherwise. I would be hesitant to write off Bosu Balls just yet.

    I decided to sacrifice my body in the name of exercise science. I visited Greg Harvey in Edmonton and had him put me through a Bosu Ball regime. I am a formerly fit subject  compromised physically from years of overly competitive beer league hockey, club level amateur wrestling, and past bouts of zealous over training. These were my observations and physical experiences.

1. It was a brutally tough and challenging workout! 
2. Many of the exercises were difficult for me even without using extra resistance.
3. I could especially feel the deep layers of my abdominal muscles working during core specific movements.
4. The need to have a qualified professional such as Greg Harvey overseeing the workout was evident. Strike another blow for a need for Fitness Trainers.
5. I could see how Bosu Balls would be of essential benefit for injury rehabilitation. 
6. Caution and safety consciousness is important because of the instability of these half orbs.

   I could only conclude that Bosu Ball must have some significant value.  My abs haven't been that  gratifyingly sore for some time. My lower back muscles on the other hand were fatigued but not sore. That is a sign of a decent core session. I will definitely add the midsection exercises to my repertoire! My six pack will return to fight another day!
   Greg Harvey doesn't have his clients train exclusively on stability balls. It is but a portion of the complete workout. Greg suggests that work on stability balls can help someone break through a training plateau by strengthening the stabilizer muscles. Training on an unstable surface followed by stable surface training with heavier loads can also make for a good pre exhaustion type workout.
    Even if this apparatus does not transition completely to the functional demands of the client's sport or activity, it still provides variety and a form of cross training. Variety keeps the workouts from becoming monotonous. Cross training helps keep certain muscles from overuse and over development .That is part of the formula for a balanced training regime.
   Anyone living in the Edmonton region wanting cutting edge training should  contact training guru Greg Harvey at  www.fitnwell.com  Meanwhile it may be time for me to copy Sydney Crosby's stability ball centered, off ice hockey training program. My hockey comeback and the Ottawa Senator's Stanley Cup win are both long overdue.

Until Next Time,........Keep Fit

Orange Juice: A Nourishing Nog of Nutrients or Satan's Sugary Saliva ?

Health Canada wants to zap orange juice from the Canada Food Guide. Actually all fruit juices now have a target on their back. This includes my favorite - cranberry juice.
The Canada Food Guide divides required eating into 4 basic groups:

1. Vegetables and Fruits: Orange juice or fruit juice is suggested as an alternative  to a serving of fruit.
2. Grain Products: Rice, quinoa, or ancient grains could be a substitute for those with wheat allergy or gluten intolerance.
3. Milk and Alternatives: Soy could fill in for those with lactose intolerance.
4. Meat and Alternatives: Vegetarians and vegans would have to ensure that amino acid needs are met with meat substitutes such as tofu and beans.

  The Canadian Society of Exercise Physiologists recommends that their certified Fitness Trainers suggest that clients follow the Canada Food Guide. The goal is to encourage sensible, moderate eating habits rather than having someone resort to radical diets or extreme food fads. The Canada Food Guide is a great tool such a purpose. Unfortunately, the message may not be reaching the unhealthy masses that most need to eat well.

  The powers that be in Health Canada have been listening to the experts in the field of nutrition and diet. They now want to eliminate orange juice and/or fruit juice as a substitute for an actual helping of fruit. Fruit juice lacks much of the fiber and vitamin enriched pulp of an orange. It is also high in sugar even though it is in the natural form of fructose. Some experts suggest that a tall glass of orange juice may contain more sugar than bottle of pop. The Horror! The Horror! 

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make some outrageous anecdotal and personal observations:

• People are not fat because they drink orange juice
• Children are not over weight or obese from guzzling fruit juice
• Orange juice does not cause diabetes although a glass of it may raise insulin levels. Interestingly many first aid courses suggest giving some orange juice to a hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) or a hyperglycemic (high blood sugar) casualty suffering a blood glucose related weak spell. 
• Orange juice is not a major factor in heart disease if it is even a factor at all
• Inactive and sedentary people usually choose a beverage of choice (or several of them) other than orange juice or fruit juice.

People have health and weight problems due to

• Genetics
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Sedentary lifestyle and electronic devices
• Poor eating habits and over reliance on fast foods, junk food, and processed food
• Stress

People with weight and health problems may drink fruit juice instead of eating fruit. I suppose that makes fruit juice a minor culprit. If Health Canada decides to drop this liquid from the Canada Food Guide, so be it. It will have only a slight effect on the real problems due to poor eating habits! The population with real issues likely doesn't read the guide.
No worries - orange juice will still maintain it's exalted position as a Vodka companion. 

Until Next Time,........Keep Fit  

It actually looks almost healthy from this angle!
