Generation X is defined as all of the people born between 1964 and 1978 (give or take). Those of us in Generation X do things differently and as we were growing up created a number of fun, exciting sports like skateboarding, mountain biking, snow boarding and BMX. Adventure sports competitions like the X-Games on ESPN were then produced as a way to introduce the world to the amazing physical feats performed by these athletes. Physical activity is key for long term health. Physical activity includes all kinds of general movements that are performed throughout the day while exercises is a specific type of physical activity performed for the purpose of a particular outcome. We all know that exercise is important and can provide many benefits including optimal health. What many people do NOT know is the secret for how to make physical activity a lifelong activity, however those of us in Generation X have learned this secret and you’re going to learn it on this episode of All About Fitness. Generation X is now in our 40s and 50s; many of us in this age bracket get exercise NOT in the four walls of a gym but out in the natural environment enjoying activities like mountain biking, surfing, downhill skiing and snowboarding. Yes, going to a gym to exercise is important, yet the REAL secret to long-term health and wellness is being physically active in all parts of life, not just in the four walls of a gym. Many physical activities provide the types of stimuli that lead physical benefits, however only a few types of exercise can provide important mental benefits and even fewer create the level of enjoyment that lead to a lifetime of health and wellness. If you’re a parent who loves to exercise, yet struggle to find ways to get your kids excited about physical activity, then this episode of All About Fitness is for you. John Buultjens is the Global Brand manager for Haro, a bicycle company that specializes in making the BMX bikes used in action sports competitions like the X-Games. On this episode of All About Fitness, John and I talk about the sport of BMX freestyle, how we each got involved in it (I used to race BMX very competitively in my teens) and how that has led each of us to a lifetime of physical activity. If you’ve ever looked at adventure sports athlete and thought, “that looks fun, but what a waste of time,” then this episode of All About Fitness will change your mind and have you heading out to go get a bike or skateboard for your kids so they can stop playing video games and start being active out in the real world (and yes, that is a deliberate Gen X reference).

Necessity is the mother of invention - not sure who said that, but I do remember an old School House Rock video about it, so it must have been someone important. When it comes to fitness products, it seems like there are new inventions almost every week for workout equipment that promise to deliver results with no efforts. What does it take to get a piece of equipment from concept to market? In this day and age of social media, is it possible to bring a new product to market with a relatively minimal marketing budget and if so, how? On this episode of All About Fitness, Greg Nigro, one of the founders of company Terra Core Fitness (a sponsor of this podcast), talks about how he was able to get his product, the Terra Core, on the hit ABC TV show the Shark Tank. The episode aired on November 17, 2019 and can be found HERE (technically season 11, episode 8); Greg shares the process of how the Terra Core was brought to market, how it has grown in popularity with almost no marketing budget - thanks to social media, and finally, how he ended up on the Shark Tank along with what you can do to possibly get your product on the show (fyi - he has NO affiliation with the show, he's just sharing his experience).

This leads to us talking about the importance of creating our own opportunities, including volunteering at local conferences. Pete shares that his fitness journey began when he was working on Capitol Hill. He grew up in the DC area and after college returned to Washington, and it was while he was working on Capitol Hill that he began working at the front desk at a local gym. After he earned a certification from the American Council on Exercise, he eventually went on to work for ACE directly in 2008. Along the way, he got his master's degree but the one thing that he took from politics was the power of networking and getting to know people. Pete talks about the benefits that can come from working within a gym chain. It is here where you can get a lot of reps, teaching, and training. Pete suggests that one way to have a solid career is to work within an organization, do the most you can, work 25 to 30 hours a week and make a very good living. Then to expand your career ask your company for ways that you can expand your services, and help them by offering workshops, etc. for both trainers and customers. We talk about the hustle and grind that has to happen behind any successful career or venture. We both discuss how it can look easy to be at the top, especially with social media but we all have to remember that there was a climb to get there. Pete shares his thoughts on the importance of learning both within and outside the industry that you are in. He talks about the need to develop skillsets in leadership, marketing, sales, and social media. Staying on the topic of social media we talk about how to be resilient and move forward when there is so much opportunity for people to share their opinions of us on the internet. We talk about whether to niche down in one area of expertise or to cast a wider net. Pete shares something a friend told with him many years ago when he said, “you want to be an inch wide and a mile deep.” However, at the end of the day, we both believe the most important thing is to do something and get started. Pete talks about the importance of doing your best- daily. On bringing your best effort forward to every day, regardless of whether it's a good day or bad one. It is when we do our best and create a positive environment for others, everything will fall into place. We close out the conversation with Pete sharing a daily practice that we can all use to stay on track and moving toward our goals, called S.W.OT.Strengths - look at your strengths. What are you doing well? Weaknesses – what are your weaknesses and can you turn them into an opportunity? Opportunities – where are they and where can you create more? Threats – where do you feel challenged? Which elements are in your control and which are outside of your control? So this week I encourage you to remember your strengths, look at areas where you could improve as opportunities to grow instead of signs of weakness. Explore new opportunities and follow through on existing gateways to greatness and view your threats as motivation to rise.
Technology doesn't just mean computer chips and nanobytes, anything that enhances human performance could be considered technology. The TRX Suspension Trainer is an excellent example of one type of technology - it's not complicated but it does an effective job of challenging the body to work harder. iPhones, fitness trackers and even algorithms that can push forward or predict the workouts you should be doing based on what you have been doing are all examples of different types of technology which is why Chris Frankel, the Director of Human Performance for TRX, is the PERFECT person to contribute to the All About Fitness series on fitness and technology. In our conversation, Chris discusses how technology can improve our fitness as well as potential areas where it may have shortcomings in improving human performance potential. Learn how you could be using technology to aid your workout programs on this episode of All About Fitness To learn more about the TRX Maps program described by Chris, listen to episode 66 of All About Fitness If you want to learn about the best exercises and movements to improve your quality of life, then pick up Smarter Workouts: The Science of Exercise Made Simple - where my 15 years of experience in teaching personal trainers is used to help you learn the best exercises for your needs.

Fitness professionals often find themselves immersed in the creative process as they conceive new ways to get people moving. Whether they’re dreaming up novel equipment ideas, developing entire programs or planning the perfect playlist, ingenuity often ties in to inspiration and sweat. What if, during this creative process, an idea is birthed that might just work for the mass market? Many people are stars at running a fitness business, but what does it take to bring an idea to market? One big barrier is access to financial resources. Funding is not an issue for those lucky enough to have a rich uncle or other benefactor. However, for the majority of budding fitness entrepreneurs, access to capital is a major hurdle. Thankfully, in recent years crowdfunding—through services such as Kickstarter or Indiegogo—has helped people raise enough capital to introduce a new product or increase the manufacturing of an existing one. On this episode of Empowered Entrepreneur, two fitness professionals share how they used crowdfunding services to get the money they needed to add fuel to their success. The first guest, Greg Nigro, vice president of sales and a founder of Terra Core Fitness, shares how the company used a crowdfunding campaign to expand its existing product line and pivot directions. The second guest, Derek Mikulski, the inventor and CEO of ActivMotion Bar, talks about how he used crowdfunding to expand his production capabilities. If you’ve had an idea for the perfect fitness business but weren’t sure how to get it off the ground, this episode will give you powerful insights into simple steps that will take your idea from concept to completion.
