Description

I think the biggest myth in Personal Training or the exercise field is if I just turn up and sweat and do something that is exhausting, I will get the result of getting fitter, leaner, stronger, whatever it is that you desire.  Another one would be that if I just get my heart rate up I am going to be healthier and that people who do so are fit.  
I am finding all too often now, when I'm working with clients who suffer from thyroid, adrenal, metabolic issues or even clients with injuries, that their personal trainer also bases their practice on this belief. 
Well, today on the show is Ross Gilmour from Better Body Collective.  I had the pleasure of working with Ross on a client who was not having the ideal response that they should have been having. This was easily spotted by Ross because of his intricate training program and measurements of progress, success and recovery.  Now because he had so much data, he made my job super easy.  I think he also saved the client money, because I was not needed as much, plus together we did get them a result. So I invited him on the show to talk today about his methods and practice, which I think set a gold standard for Personal Training.
In this Episode we talk about:

Crossfit
HIIT
Steady State Cardio
Resistance training
Functional Training
Hypertrophy
Bodybuilding
The importance of program design 
Progressive Overload
Dieting from a fed state vs an underfed state
Thyroid 
Metabolism
Epigenetics
Stress
Ascertaining a clients’ goal
Creating an environment that supports the goal
When to refer out
Building a network of professionals
Collaborating as practitioners
Physiological/Allostatic Load
