For those of you in Canada (or for those interested in visiting Canada), I’ll be lecturing once again at CanFitPro–Canada’s largest fitness convention–which takes place August 19 to 23, 2009 at the Toronto Convention Center. I’ll be speaking on multiple topics geared to fitness professionals, as well as presenting at the trade show in a more general context for consumers. If you’d like more information, visit the CanFitPro website. Hope to see you there!

Wanted to let everyone know that I will be conducting two advanced training seminars in NYC. The lectures are geared towards fitness professionals (CECs are accredited for NASM and should translate for other organizations), but anyone with a good knowledge of exercise science can benefit. The courses are as follows:

Sunday, August 2, 2009
Program Design for Hypertrophy: Muscle development is of primary interest to those who lift weights. This workshop will elucidate the science behind optimizing muscular hypertrophy. It will detail the effects of manipulating intensity, sets, repetitions, and rest intervals on growth, as well as exploring the roles of factors such as exercise modality, training to failure, speed of movement, and recovery. The significance of acute hormonal fluctuations and lactate production as to their effects on increasing protein synthesis will be addressed. Sample routines are offered in the context of a periodized approach to help the practitioner with perfecting program design.

Sunday, August 9, 2009
Maternal Fitness: Safe and Effective Strategies for Training the Pregnant and Postpartum Client: Exercise is one of the most beneficial things a pregnant woman can do for her body – provided proper guidelines are followed. This workshop teaches you how to address the biomechanical and physiological changes that occur in the pre and postnatal period, and develop sound training programs tailored to the unique needs of the maternal client. Programming for strength training, cardiovascular exercise and flexibility training is covered in detail, with insight provided on how to modify exercise based on the individual needs of the client. Contraindications to exercise are addressed with respect to each trimester.

The courses are being offered through Innovative Wellness and Education. To register or learn more about the courses, click on the following link: Innovative Wellness and Education. These are researched-based workshops that really get into the science of exercise. I guarantee you’ll learn a lot. Hope to see you there!

Just got back from the NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association) convention in Las Vegas. A really terrific convention–one of the best I’ve attended. The NSCA continues to be at the forefront of exercise and science, and the members are amongst the most knowledgeable in the field. I was particularly impressed with some of the nutritional info. Jose Antonio gave an excellent talk on supplementation and Jeff Stoudt and colleagues gave an indepth lecture on pre, during and post-exercise nutrition. Great stuff! Another highlight was Mike Stone speaking on periodization–cool hearing one of the “fathers” of the subject give his unique perspective. If you’re into the science of exercise and nutrition, make a point to go to next years show (it’s held at the Paris Hotel, which is one of the nicest in Vegas).

Stay Fit!
