It was first proposed in the late 1950′s as a method to develop general fitness. The initial routines were arranged in a circle, alternating between different muscle groups (hence the name circuit training). By allowing only a short rest interval of 30-90 seconds between stations, cardiovascular fitness is gained along with the benefits of resistance training. When developing a circuit training routine, a wide variety of exercises and equipment can be utilized. Much of the equipment is relatively inexpensive and includes tubing, jump rope, body weight, dumbbells, medicine balls, Swiss-balls, and weight training machines. A circuit can consist of as few as 6 stations to as many as 15 stations based on the goals and pre-training levels of the participants. Circuit training stations are generally sequenced in a way to alternate between muscle groups, which allows for adequate recovery. The rest interval between stations should be between 30-90 seconds and 1-3 minutes between circuits. Circuit training plays an integral role in the off season workouts of many professional athletes. It serves as a way to maintain general fitness while avoiding the high physical demands of in-season sport. Circuit training also serves as a segue to higher level strengthening programs in these athletes. Try picking 8-10 exercise stations in your backyard using some of the equipment we talked about earlier. Try doing 30 seconds at each station and resting 15 seconds between each station. Once you’ve gone threw each station one time rest 90 seconds and repeat. Give me 5 rounds and stretch for 10 minutes when your done. Push yourself hard and you will have a great workout in 30-40 minutes total. It’s just that simple. So Get Up And Go sweat your butt off Circuit Training! Larry and Chef Dave taste and discuss 2 boxed wines, Pepperwood Grove’s “Big Green Box”, CA, Chardonnay and Black Box Wines, Merlot. You will find many reasons why you should try wine-in-a-box.

The Functional Movement Screen is what I have been moving toward with all my clients. This truly is a must for anyone who is serious about improving physically. Without knowing your physical limitations you cannot target these deficiencies for improvement. I’m not saying exercising without a screening is bad. What I am saying is take advantage of technology. The old school: get in there and workout until you puke is not the answer. If you are truly serious about fitness this screening is a must! What is FMS? The Functional Movement Screen is the product of an exercise philosophy known as Functional Movement. This exercise philosophy and corresponding set of resources is based on sound science, years of innovation, and current research. How it Works- Put simply, the FMS is a ranking and grading system that documents movement patters that are key to normal function. By screening these patterns, the FMS readily identifies functional limitations and asymmetries. These are issues that can reduce the effects of functional training and physical conditioning and distort body awareness. The FMS generates the functional movement screen score, which is used to target the problems and track progress. This scoring system is directly linked to the most beneficial corrective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement patterns. Exercise professionals monitor the FMS score to track progress and identify those exercises that will be most effective to restore proper movement and build strength in each individual. What it Does- The FMS simplifies the concept of movement and it’s impact on the body. It’s streamlined system has benefits for everyone involved – individuals, exercise professionals, and physicians. There is nothing wrong with going out and exercising without a screening. Your doing good for yourself by getting up and moving. However, I urge you to take advantage of this technology. We take advantage of technology in every other part of our lives. We are talking about your body here. Your going to need it to function properly for a long time! So Get Up And Go Get an FMS!!!!
