Title: Independent Thinking and the core with Dr. Paul Juris Ed.D. Exercise Science Insider ep #12   This is a conversation on independent thinking about the core with Dr Paul Juris Ed.D.   Paul is a noted kinesiologist specializing in education, motor skill development, sports performance enhancement, rehabilitation, and intuitive program development. He has also provided extensive sports development, rehabilitation and education consulting for organizations including the NBA, NHL, USTA, US Cycling Federation, the PGA and US Equestrian Team.  Paul was previously Vice President of Science and Education at PGA Kinematics Lab.  He served as Director of the Equinox Fitness Training Institute.  He was also the Chief Science Officer at Cybex International for 9.5 years.   A strong core has long been THE main goal of many people enthusiastic about fitness . It seems that we’ve been conditioned to believe that the “six pack” is the embodiment of health and athletic performance. This belief has covered up the true essentials of movement which seems to have little to none scientific relevance to throwing medicine balls and planks.   I have a lot of questions about the ‘core’ because the more I learn about the science of the core the more I realize that the use of this term is deleterious and how the fitness industry has failed the consumers.    Here are the topics covered in this episode: Fixation on a ‘strong core’ Education facilitation for learning about the core What are some important things to know about measuring core movements or strength EMG studies  Links of interest:   (not mentioned) Good story on how the fitness industry runs with little evidence and creates a market https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/21/magazine/21FOB-physed-t.html   Pump one lectures Part 1 https://youtu.be/RJ8dbXzO0rs Part 2 https://youtu.be/cyZfPK1_opk Part 3 https://youtu.be/eezXjJeHpFM Part 4 https://youtu.be/rN7JhJpMRWY   2 previous podcast episodes on Motor Learning and Motor Control April 1 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gregory-gordon-motor-learning-skill-acquisition-in/id1379865962?i=1000470203837   Some of Paul’s work at Cybex https://www.cybexintl.com/education/exerciseanalysis/ April 8 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gregory-gordon-pt2-motor-learning-skill-acquisition/id1379865962?i=1000470874657   

“Cueing is the substance of our message” Nick Winkleman PhD   Trainers, athletes, therapists and coaches- has this EVER been more true?   Cueing may be one of the most underrated skillsets that get developed by fitness professionals.  There is an art attached to cueing and choosing the substance of our words that is aligned to improving every aspect of performance- speed, autonomic nervous system, efficiency and strength.     Virtual fitness might be a part of the new norm.  Interacting online when it comes to movement might be the necessary inconvenience that will make you a better trainer and mover.  Join Jenn on this episode for a perspective on learning the art of cueing for fitness, athletic coaching and therapeutic exercise.    This episode highlights a special guest, Dr. Paul Juris Ed.D.  He is a noted kinesiologist specializing in education, motor skill development, sports performance enhancement, rehabilitation, and intuitive program development. He has also provided extensive sports development, rehabilitation, and educational consulting for organizations including the NBA, NHL, USTA, US Cycling Federation, the PGA, and US Equestrian Team.  Paul was previously Vice President, Science and Education, at PGA Kinematics Lab.

William Maloney, a health and human performance advisor joins us today on the Dads with Daughters podcast. William has four kids, two sons and two daughters and today we will learn about him as a father but also talk about health and nutrition and how you can find time to add more nutrition into your own life. When it comes to nutrition you have to have a regular conversation about it to keep yourself closer to the actual conversation per se. It’s good to have the conversation because if you do not, you may get to a point where you are not where you need to be personally or you are being told that you need to be on medicine or change your lifestyle because you are overweight. To start this conversation William mentions having a conversation with yourself, but also with your family asking questions like: What did you eat today (this is especially important for your kids if you are not preparing the food that they eat). If you are aware of what you eat you may be more willing to watch out for and limit foods that can harm your health. Also, if you talk to another person about what you ate you will be more aware of the food that you are putting inside you and this will help you make better long term decisions as well. There are some myths that William shared that people that are concerned about their nutrition need to be aware of. Some of these myths include: You have to be focusing on protein/carbohydrates and fat Water and how much water should you be drinking Also, when it comes to nutrition, you have to be aware of your surroundings when you go to the store to purchase the food that you want to consume. Part of this starts with going to a store with a list. Having a list will allow you to be able to stay on track and not get distracted by everything else that can lead you off track. Here is a list that William uses. The other thing that you have to consider is the time to prepare the food that you are purchasing. The sourcing of your food is very important. William Maloney has a list of what is looks for when he is purchasing food. You can find the list below. William Maloney also talked about when you are eating and when you go out for food you should consider the 80/20 rule where 80% of the food that you are eating is healthy and 20% is not. Following these steps will allow you to model good behaviors that you can pass on to your kids. Find out more about William Maloney by visiting his website willmaloney.com .

A classically trained research scientist with a Doctorate in Motor Learning, Dr. Paul Juris is a seminal figure in the HALO sector. He was a Professor of Human Movement Studies at Columbia University and later went on to construct the (then new) Equinox Fitness Training Institute to a level never seen before. "We wanted to bring as much scientific rigor into the program as possible. . .I introduced movement science to that program, which at the time really didn't exist in the fitness industry," he states. In this wide ranging discussion, Paul offers his thoughts on what needs to be looked at more closely in our "typical" model, the evolution of education in the industry, discussion of fitness tech's pros and cons, and much more!

As an entrepreneur, you aim to grow your business and be successful. To do that, you need to look at your relationships with your client base and build lasting relationships with them. However, more than that, you also need to watch out for your health. If you're healthy, you're stronger, you're more productive, you work better, and you can face challenges with a clear mind.   Our guest, Anthony Mendez, joins us today to talk about and help us take care of our most valuable asset of all: our health. Anthony also talks to us about his journey and how he builds relationships with his clients and followers. Finally, he shares essential habits for his business that helps him work through his day.

Social Media as a Platform for Business and Fitness Keep engaging with your audience. Connection with your audience will result in loyalty. Work hard, then work smart. Be patient. You cannot rush building relationships, a business, and your health. Building and Monetizing Relationships Create a list of your constant supporters. Make sure to give these people value and engagement. Prove that you care instead of always trying to sell to them. Go the extra mile to solidify relationships through small gifts and regular replies. FORM: Family and friends, Occupation, Recreation, and Money. If you can't connect, you cannot start work. Connect a lead to a person who can help them if you are unable to. Patience, Diligence, and Focus on Health Pay attention to your health. Move your body: get up and move every single day. Master your body before trying a heavier routine. A lot of injuries are buildups of something you've been doing wrong. Mastering your body can help in avoiding these injuries. Move your mind: talk and have discussions with like-minded people, listen to podcasts, read books. Move your soul: meditate, sit down alone, reflect, take time for yourself. It is hard work that will eventually turn into smart work. If you have good health, your body, mind, and spirit can all perform at a higher level. Shifting your state of mind and body: be aware of how you feel, think of happy thoughts, move around a bit. Disciplines Critical to Business Jot down three of the most important things you need to accomplish for the day and make sure you achieve them all. Try to do something uncomfortable or something your not used to. Through this, you can get out of your routine, challenge yourself, and develop your confidence. “Savage Talk”: Talk to yourself with your intensity. Tell yourself that you'll win, own, and conquer the day.   For more insights, connect with Anthony on Instagram. You can also shoot him an email: mendezfitnesspro@gmail.com.
