Today Sandy Webster catches up with the First Lady of Fitness Elaine LaLanne, who was married to the iconic Jack LaLanne, the Godfather of Modern Fitness. “LaLa,” as she is affectionately known to her fitness family, has joined the team at IDEA World Convention every year since 2011 to present the IDEA Jack LaLanne Award, a prestigious accolade that honors her late husband's impact and example on the fitness industry and on the world.  At 95, LaLa is still as energetic and fiery as ever. She has a lot to say about the unrealized potential of our industry. Among many topics, they discuss the Gyms Act and the many “firsts” Jack innovated during his career (he was the first “virtual” trainer on television; he invented the Smith Machine and selectorized equipment; and he always put a premium focus on the impact of nutrition and exercise as complementary).

In today's episode we get to chat about something very near and dear to my heart. I've been working in the health and wellness industry for over a decade and our industry has undergone a lot of shifts and a lot of change over the last 18 months. Coming out of 2020, there have been a lot of really great opportunities for health and fitness professionals and that is what we're talking about today. Joining me in this conversation is Amy Thompson, she's the vice president and general manager of IDEA Health & Fitness Association. “You can't do the work you love, you can't make the money you need to make unless you have a good marketing strategy or a sales funnel into your business.” IN THIS EPISODE The health and fitness industry changes over the years. How you, the fitpreneur, can best equip yourself for the changes and for the future of this industry. Why having a solid marketing plan and sale funnel is important. Using social media to impact locally and in your own community. The longevity that comes with attracting your dream client by niching down in your business. Being authentic in your messaging and marketing. Focusing on how fitness makes people feel, not just how they will look. The beauty of online coaching and the different ways to offer it. Meeting clients where they're at and where they want to be because now more than ever, they have a choice. Finding other ways of revenue income streams within the industry. Networking – the key to your success. IDEA World Convention 2021 where James will be presenting.

Legs. Chest. Back. Arms. Core. Fascia. Emotions.  What? Yes, most exercise programs will focus on specific muscles or parts of the body, but when was the last time you walked into a gym to strengthen your fascia or train your emotions? The truth is that our bodies are complex organisms containing numerous systems (digestive, nervous, muscular) each one affected by exercise. Your fascia is the elastic tissue that surrounds every single muscle fiber; muscles generate force and fascia transmits that force through the body. If you are not doing the proper exercise or self-care techniques for your fascia, it WILL affect how you move and could be a potential cause of injury. When it comes to our emotions, there is a direct connection between how we feel and how we move; motion influence emotion and emotion influences motion. On this episode of All About Fitness, Rodney Corn, a co-founder of Feel Soma one of the smartest, most innovative fitness educators in the world who helped create the education programs for PTA Global and NASM shares his insights on fascia and emotions and how each can have a significant impact on how you move and feel both in and out of the gym. If you've been experiencing chronic pain or are in need of a new motivation for exercise, then this episode of All About Fitness is for you!
