Meet May’s Client of the Month – Tom!

Weight LossWhat made you initially choose Nunn’s Performance Training? 

I met Valerie through a networking group that Brian Singer set up.  In those meetings, Brian must have plugged Jason at least a half a dozen times.  When I was in making a sales call on her, Jason noticed I was limping.  I told him my right arch had fallen a few years ago and despite the orthotic, I still had serious pain.  Jason told me I was just out of balance.  He felt like that would not be a problem to fix.  I was skeptical but decided to give it a try.

What have your accomplishments been so far?

Since I started in July of 2012, I have lost approximately 20 lbs and dropped over 7.5% body fat.   I’m not ready to walk around with my shirt off all day, but I guarantee most of my friends will notice a big difference around the pool this summer.  Continue With The Awesomeness...

I’m Too (Insert Ailment Here) For Fitness

“I have a heart condition.”

“I have a knee problem.”

“I’m too old.”

These are all excuses I’ve been given as to why certain people cannot start a fitness program.  Sure, there are some conditions where exercise is contraindicated, but for the most part, exercise is generally a good idea for most people.

Here’s a quick rundown of some of the conditions I see on a daily basis:

  • Congestive heart failure
  • Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) – A rare, cystic lung disease
  • Parkinson’s
  • Gastroparesis
  • Scoliosis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Herniated Disks
  • Cushing’s Syndrome
  • Diabetes
  • Hypertension
  • Metabolic syndrome
  • High cholesterol
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Carpal tunnel
  • Essential tremor
  • Depression
  • Osteoporosis

 

That’s not all.  It’s just all I can think of right now.  Currently, our youngest client is 10 years old and our oldest is almost 70 (although I’ve had a few clients well into their 80′s!).  Continue With The Awesomeness...

5 Lies The Fitness Industry Is Telling You

This year, I’ll be entering my 10th year working in the fitness industry.  In that time, I’ve seen and heard many lies come from the mouths of various “celebrity trainers”.  Given this, it’s no wonder the fitness industry is viewed by many as just a bunch of charlatans.

I thought this might be a good time to bring attention to some of the lies that are passed on to others on behalf of the fitness industry.

Strength Training Isn’t Important

I kid you not, I recently heard a woman ask another, “How did Mrs. Soandso get so strong without getting really bulky.”  Listen up ladies, EATING TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE AND DRINKING TOO MUCH WINE WILL MAKE YOU WAAAAAY BULKIER THAN GETTING STRONGER.

How To Pick The Right Coach

A few weeks ago, John Meadows and Dave Tate released what they referred to as the “4 Golden Rules Of Picking A Coach”.  I wrote a post a while back called 10 Questions To Ask Your Personal Trainer and thought this scoring system would be a good addition to that.

Here are Dave and John’s 4 golden rules:

1. What is their education?
Do they have a degree? In a related field? BS, Masters, PHD? Certifications? Continuing Education? Internships? Work History? Mentors? Self Thought…? It’s very important that they understand how to translate education, studies, etc into actual client scenarios too. This is critical.

On a scale of 1-5 where do they rank? 5 would be advanced degree, internship and 2-3 very good mentors. Work back from there. If they are only self thought they get a 1 or 2.  Continue With The Awesomeness...

Sport Specific Training: Is It Fact or Fiction?

Posted on by

For several decades now, coaches and athletes have known that one way to get better at your sport is to become stronger, faster, and more powerful.  This is great news for those of us in the strength and conditioning industry as it validates the need for teams to have a strength and conditioning or sports performance coach, whichever you want to call it.  What ends up coming out of this is the thought that each sport team may have a certain way of training that is different than other sports.  It’s the thought that we need sport specific training.  So the question arises:

Is sport specific training a myth?

The answer to this question isn’t exactly black and white.  On one hand, ALL ATHLETES need to get stronger and faster.  It doesn’t matter what sport they play.  On the other hand, there may be some exercises that are dangerous and contraindicated for certain sports.  Continue With The Awesomeness...

1/2/2013 Cleans, Bench, Chins, and accessories

First training session of 2013.

Cleans – Did a split jerk on the last rep of these.  I need to work on the hand transition from the clean rack to split jerk rack.  It felt very awkward.

220 x 3

250 x 3

280 x 4 – pretty easy, but wanted to keep enough in the tank to work the jerk.

Bench Press x 3/Chins x 3 – did face pulls during my warmup sets.

280/45

325/45

365 x 7/45 x 3

Band Bicep Curl/Band Pull Aparts/Band Tricep Pushdown

3×15 – still working on the bicep tendonapathy issue.

Usually, I’m not that big of a fan of New Year’s Resolutions, but I do have some goals for myself this year.  They are:  Continue With The Awesomeness...
