Pro Nutrition Seminars at All 4 Sports and Fitness

It seems like everyday someone is trying to pitch you on a new nutritional product, diet, or miracle weight loss solution.

Over the course of a month, I have literally dozens of product samples, diet program pamphlets, and promotional materials land on my desk about how their product can help our members at All 4 Sports.

The problem is...that even though I am in the health and fitness industry, there is so much conflicting information crossing my path that it is impossible to know what works, what is safe, and what is just another scam.

If I have a hard time with it, and it is my line of work, how can you know that you are making the right decision when choosing a nutritional strategy for you and your family?

In this case your best bet is to go to an expert.

West Islip resident and nutritional guru Karen Sossin is the expert I go to.

You can view a quick video clip of Karen when she came in to speak to the staff of All 4 Sports and Fitness right here on the blog.

In the video she explains how gycogen is stored as fat in the body and the two keys to unlocking it for weight loss and optimal performance.

I was only going to include a small clip, but the information is so good I had to include the entire explaination in two parts.

It is a must watch.....

Part I

Part II

As if the video is not enough, All 4 Sports and Fitness and Karen Sossin (MS, CDN) are offering a new series of seminars once a month on a variety of health and nutrition topics.

Each seminar will offer a discussion of the "must have" information consumers need in order to live a life of health and wellness.

Participants will learn how to incorporated this knowledge and make it work in order to achieve their personal goals.

• Top Ten Sports Nutrition Guidelines for Peak Athletic Performance - December 17, 2008

More New Stuff....

I just finished up another short video to show you the newest additions to the club that came in on Friday....


In this video I will show you:

• Why the New Keiser Spin Bikes are a really big deal
• How to do interval training on the New Schwinn Airdyne Bikes
• Why power is important and some strength exercise variations on the Keiser Triple Trainer
• Why there are 5 new Matrix Functional Training Benches in Studio 2

Best Cardio Workout Ever!

That's right!! The best ever....

At least that is what members were telling me today as they stepped off the brand new additions to the club.

When I tried the new Precor AMT trainers a few months ago at a trade show, I knew our members would love them.

Now they are here!!!

I shot a quick video tonight to show you how to use them, and you can watch below.....

And don't worry....

I didn't forget to announce the new classes, nutrition education sessions, and what I am going to do with all those applicants that didn't get into the Body Transformation Contest.

I just got back in town and I will be working on gettting you all that info by the end of the week.

What a week!!

It has been one crazy week here at the gym.

In preparation for all the new changes, (first batch of new equipment is set to arrive on Wednesday!!) as well as the kick off of our first Body Transformation Contest, it would be an understatement if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed.

We had our individual meetings this week with all the participants, so I haven't had time to answer all the emails and posts about the Body Transformation Contest.

I picked the 12 participants last week but I am still getting requests daily to get into the program!!

Since so many people are interested I would really love to figure something out for everyone who has expressed that they need help reaching their goals.

I am going up to Brockport tomorrow to work with my college baseball team, but when I get back, I will be announcing a solution for everyone.

Please stay tuned to the newsletter for all the new equipment arrival announcements, video clips on how to use the new stuff, and also look for new episodes of the Video Coaching Series very soon!!

If you are interested in taking part in the Body Transformation Program please post your request on the Body Transformation Post.

The Body Transformation Contest is underway and people are already making changes and seeing results

The first batch of new cardio equipment is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday
