Dr. Nick Green joins me in Session 132 for his third appearance on the show. In this episode, we discuss: How he responded to being furloughed for a few months. His contributions to Covid-19 research at the University of Florida. Nick's general principles on how he helps clients develop and accomplish fitness goals. How to overcome barriers to fitness, especially when gyms are closed. What are some basic movement patterns that people should train. Some of the great results his fitness clients are seeing. His advice on wearable tech and other methods for collecting fitness analytics. How to think about time allocation so busy people can still meet their fitness goals. How to incorporate health and fitness into a comprehensive ABA program. What steps Behavior Analysts can take to begin work in the health and fitness industry. We also took questions submitted by members of The Behavioral Observations Membership Program. Here are the links to the stuff we talked about: The BehaviorFit homepage. Hell in a Bucket reference (tunes from a simpler time). Dr. John Lednicky from the U. of Florida (Covid-19 researcher Nick worked with). Nick's infographic on the 7 Functional Movements. Silver Sneakers (online fitness program for 65+ people). Onnit Academy (online instructional videos). The Daily Burn (another online instruction site). BehaviorFit on Instagram. Nick's earlier appearances on the BOP. The Whoop Strap (still not a sponsor, but I'm open to it ;-). Nick's podcast, BehaviorFit Radio. Used sporting goods store, Play it Again Sports. My favorite music education YouTube channel. Bannerman, et al (1990). Balancing the right to habilitation with the right to personal liberties: the rights of people with developmental disabilities to eat too many doughnuts and take a nap. Session 132 is brought to you with the support of the following sponsors: Behavior University. Their mission is to provide university quality professional development for the busy Behavior Analyst. Learn about their CEU offerings and podcast-specific discounts over at behavioruniversity.com/observations. The ABA Marketing Minute with Rich Brooks. Digital marketing guru and two-time guest Rich Brooks and I have teamed up to provide listeners with 60-second micro-lessons in digital marketing. You'll hear the first installment later in this broadcast, so I won't spoil it here, but let's just say the message should parallel a lot of what we should strive for in our clinical practice. If you're interested in marketing your practice on social media or Google, or if you want to give your website a makeover, I highly recommend working with Rich and his awesome team over at Flyte New Media. And while I'm promoting the stuff on my website, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the membership program. Think of it as a DIY Patreon… Members get access to a private FB group in which they are able to get nearly instantaneous access to the videos of these podcast interviews. For example, this interview has been available to members for two months. Members get the raw feed. That means no ads, and none of these introductory comments. You just get right to the interview. Another cool thing we do is hold Zoom Hangouts with former guests so where you can interact with them directly. For more information, check out behavioralobservations.com/membership.

I receive many questions on a daily basis about my work. Check out the full article on BehaviorFit.com/blog

When I work with clients, I use a process called "shaping" to establish new fitness routines or repair old ones. Shaping requires my clients/athletes to GRADUALLY work towards an "ideal" or targeted fitness routine that he or she can maintain over the long haul. I document this process with extensive data collection, feedback, and regular coaching meetings to build any fitness routine.

Dr. Nick Green from BehaviorFit joins me in Session 105 to discuss my plans to shed a few pounds in 2020. If you’re like me, you may have put on a little weight over the holidays. In my case, I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to take my family to France to stay with my oldest friend (an ex-pat who has been living there for the past 20 years or so). As such, the normal workout routine fell by the wayside, while at the same time, cheese and bread were consumed in great quantities! This was on the menu all too often! So it is timely that Dr. Nick Green from BehaviorFit returns to the podcast! In this episode, Nick and I talk about some strategies I can use for getting back into reasonable shape. Specifically, we discuss measurement, nutrition, strength training, and more! While on the surface, this show may seem like it’s all about me, Nick does a real nice job discussing concepts and principles in a way that is relatable to just about anyone. If you missed Nick’s first appearance on the podcast, I recommend going back and checking that one out. Better yet, go to his awesome blog, BehaviorFIt.com, follow him on Instagram @behaviorfit, or listen to his podcast, BehaviorFit Radio.
