Training Techniques
Forced Reps - Additional reps with external assistance once fatigue is reached Pre-Exhaustion - Do a set of an isolation exercise for a muscle group, then, with no rest, do a compound movement for it. Example - Chest Flyes -> Bench Press Cheating - At the end of a set, when you can't do any more reps with good form, use a bit of body swing or momentum to help get the weight past the sticking point. Don't use this technique for every rep!! Drop Sets - This entails doing a set to failure with a weight then immediately doing another set to failure with a lighter weight. Superset - Excellent way to structure a routine to save time and keep intensity high. Do a set of an exercise for one body part then immediately do a set of an exercise for the antagonistic body part, e.g. barbell curls then tricep pressdowns.

Sit-ups
The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health states that anything above 3,300 newtons is unsafe. This exercise exerts 3350 newtons on the lumbar spine. The primary mover for a situp are the hip flexors which pull on the lumbar spine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXRob-RuoLA&feature=youtu.be
Dumbbell Chest Press - Arching Lumbar Spine2
The bench press is a common exercise used to strengthen the chest muscles. Many people make the mistake of arching their back during the lift to help them lift the weight. This causes hyperextension of the back and leads to excessive compression of the discs. The proper position is with the knees bent so that the back cannot arch. Because other accessory muscles in the back cannot assist in the lift this position provides a better workout for the chest muscles.
Leg lifts/throws are contraindicated because _____________.
The hip flexors are recruited placing compressive forces on intervertebral discs
Low Back Care
The lower back is prone to injury due to the lifting of heavy objects, twisting, and sudden movements. Over time, poor posture or repetitive stress can also lead to muscle strain or other soft tissue problems. How to prevent lower back pain: Exercise your core Correct your posture Lift heavy objects correctly Improve your overall physical health Be a savvy athlete

Upright Shoulder Row2
Although this one is a great muscle-mass developer, it puts the shoulders and wrists into positions that have been linked to impingement syndrome and ligament tears. An overhead press with either a barbell or dumbbells will not only be safer, but it might even develop the shoulders better.
Cardiac Output is:
Amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute of time.
In almost all cases, bad exercises can be replaced by safer and more effective exercises. The lecture will compare bad exercises and then provide better alternatives.
Any activity selected for an exercise program should have some underlying value (e.g., improve flexibility, strength, cardiovascular fitness). However, even some exercises that have underlying value might have elements that can make them inappropriate or even contraindicated if done incorrectly. Thus, an exercise for extremely physically fit individuals can be appropriate because the quality of movement they display in doing it meets the objectives for which the exercise was designed. However, if the same exercise were done by individuals with poor physical fitness (e.g., lack flexibility, have weak abdominal muscles); their renditions of the exercise could be deemed totally inappropriate (or even contraindicated) because their quality of movement is poor.

What is GMO? (Non-GMO Project picture)
GMOs (or "genetically modified organisms") are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering, or GE. Are GMOs safe? Most developed nations do not consider GMOs to be safe. In more than 60 countries around the world, including Australia, Japan, and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the production and sale of GMOs. What health issues are linked to GMOs? Allergies, cancer, skin issues, IBS, and many more. The United States is the worst when it comes to food quality. This is due to the industrialization of food crops and personal monetary agendas of big agri-business.
What are "natural flavors?"
Natural flavors are entirely human made. It is an inexpensive way to add flavoring to our food. Example: Castoreum This chemical is derived from a gland taken out of beaver and is located very close the beaver's anus. I know it may be hard to believe but after a lot of processing, it is considered a legal "natural flavoring" and will be listed as such in an ingredient list. Common foods that might contain castoreum are raspberry, strawberry and vanilla flavoring, ice cream, soda and yogurt. Castoreum is mostly used in alcoholic beverages, baked goods, gelatins, puddings, soft candy, frozen dairy, hard candy, chewing gum.
Are you overweight or obese?
Obesity: Defined as a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 % for men and 30% for women or greater. Overweight: A body mass index of greater than 25%. 75% of Americans are either overweight or obese Body Mass Index (BMI) is a useful tool to screen the general population, but fails to differentiate fat from lean body mass. Often individuals with a large amount of muscle mass can easily fall into the moderate or even high risk categories.
Comparing Stretching Techniques
PNF - Capable of producing greater improvement in flexibility Static - Has to be done often and held for extended periods of time. Prior to exercise may decrease core and muscle temperature when compared to dynamic stretching Dynamic - Research supports use prior to activity Ballistic - Can cause injury in untrained or already injured person Can maintain flexibility w/ stretching 1 day a week, but to improve flexibility must perform 3•5 times/week
What is Periodization?
Periodization is the best way to get training results. The concept of periodization provides a theoretical training model that organizes the manipulation of the training variables for a specific period of time. Periodization is the overall, long-term, cyclic structuring of training and practice to maximize performance. Simply put, "Planned Results".
Resistance Training Principles
Specificity of Training - Only the muscles trained will adapt and change in response to a given exercise SAID (Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands) - Adaptation will be specific to the demands of the exercise Progressive Overload - As adaption occurs, an increase in the stimulus is necessary Variation - Exercise stimulus needs to change over time Periodization - Phases of training manipulating training variables to achieve planned results Prioritization of Training - Focus on specific goal corresponding to the phase of training
Lateral Shoulder Raise
The Lateral Shoulder Raise can cause or aggravate shoulder impingement syndrome. Shoulder impingement occurs when the tendon of the supraspinatus (a rotator cuff muscle) gets inflamed as a result of being repeatedly pressed against the bony acromion above it. It's usually a process that occurs over time. The next slide shows a modification to this exercise that minimizes risk to the rotator cuff muscle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqVon0doWvg&feature=youtu.be
Back Extensions
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health has set the action limit for low back compression at 3300 N. Performing one back extension, imposes over 4000 N or about 890 lbs of compression on the spine. That's too much stress on the back making this exercise one to avoid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QvUAipq7Jo&feature=youtu.be
Compressive Forces
The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health states that anything above 3,300 newtons is unsafe. Straight leg sit-up — 3506 N Compression Bent leg sit-up — 3350 N Compression Curlup feet anchored — 2009 N Compression Curlup feet free — 1991 N Compression Quarter sit-up — 2392 N Compression Straight leg raise — 2525 N Compression Bent leg raise —1767 N Compression Cross knee curl-up — 2964 N Compression Hanging straight leg — 2805 N Compression Hanging bent leg — 3313 N Compression Isometric side bridge — 2585 N Compression Back extensions — 4000 n (1000 Ibs) of spinal compression Superman — 6000 n (1400 lbs) of spinal compression
How do I know my Body fat?

Leg Lifts
The primary mover for a leg lift are the hip flexors. The origin of hip flexors is on the lumbar spine. With every repetition there is a pulling on the lumbar spine which can cause back problems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqsVFB70x3o&feature=youtu.be
Excessive flexion or extension on the spine can cause pressure on one end of the intervertebral disc. The disc is comprised of a tough circular exterior surrounding a soft inner core. The outer region is made up of a ring of fibers called the annulus fibrosus. The jelly-like core is made up of water and collagen fibers and is named the nucleus pulposus. Numerous flexions of the spine may cause a rupture of the ligament fibers through which the nucleus pulposus will leak through. The protruding substance may then impinge on a nearby peripheral nerve causing pain, sciatica, and/or numbness. Excessive flexion of the lumbar spine can result in a posterior bulging disc.
These are some common anatomical terms that need to be understood before processing with the rest of the lecture.

Be Careful With Online Advice!
When using social media platforms, use your knowledge from this class to make a good decision. Just because someone looks good doesn't mean they know what they are doing, nor does it mean they can make anyone else look like them. Not all workouts or advice online is safe or realistic. Choose with an educated intent. When looking for medical information reliable websites are: http://www.webmd.com and http://www.cdc.gov Be wary of sites that sell products. Compare information on other sites.
Fats (lipids)
Fat- No more than 53 grams of fat in a day!! (Unsaturated). Less than10% of total daily calories should be from saturated fat. Aim for 0. Unsaturated is good fat (liquid at room temp) Polyunsaturated (Omega 3- needed for optimal function of human body. Best sources are Mackerel and Salmon) Monounsaturated Most cooking oils, fish, nuts, avocados, olives Saturated is bad fat (solid at room temp) Meat, Butter, cheese, chocolate, cakes, cookies, salad dressing & animal fats Trans Fat (solid at room temp) Man made by heating unsaturated fats into solids Used to increase shelf life Margarine, crackers, cookies, & chips

A plank is an example of a _________ contraction
isometric
Which of the following is not considered a part of Tabata training:
30-60 seconds of high intensity exercise followed by 15-30 seconds of rest
According to The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
Any compressive force above 3,300 newtons is unsafe
Fartlek Training & Interval Training
Fartlek Training is defined as periods of fast running intermixed with periods of slower running and is free-flow. Sprint to mailbox, jog to street light, walk to stop sign. You decide on the duration of the trainings Interval Training is precisely timed. 30 second sprint, 30 second jog, 30 second walk. Then repeat up to 10 times
PNF Stretching
Widely accepted as an effective method for increasing range of motion Performed with or without a partner Uses both passive movement & active muscle action How performed: Static stretch while relaxing muscle Hold stretch for 10 s, then contract muscle for 6 s with a strong isometric contraction Following a 1-2 s rest, repeat another 30 s passive stretch
False Statements Often Heard In The Gym.
Women shouldn't lift weights. Don't lift weights if you are trying to lose weight. I don't need to do cardio if I am trying to gain weight. I need a pre-workout supplement. Pain is weakness leaving the body.
Repetitive Microtrauma (also called repetitive motion injury). If one bends a paper clip a couple of times, it is still strong but its molecular makeup has been changed forever. With continued bending it will eventually break. This is similar to what happens in a repetitive microtrauma injury to soft tissue structures such as ligaments and intervertebral discs. The minor damage is not noted initially; however, by the time it reaches pain threshold it has become serious.
Stuart McGill, a prominent spine researcher, found that the forward bending movement of a traditional sit-up creates an amount of pressure on the spine that exceeds what the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health deems safe. One experiment using a pig spine, for example, found that simulating a sit-up repetitively causes the discs to rupture, which can lead to a type of nerve damage called lumbar radiculopathy or "sciatica."

Myofascial Release - Foam Roller
Foam rolling is an important component of flexibility training. Learn more in this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzSU2FiFKTM&feature=youtu.be
Summary
Focus on technique during the stretch Hold stretches for 10-30 seconds Do 2-4 reps each stretch for optimal gains Stretch to mild discomfort, not pain Keep breathing slow and rhythmical during stretch Stretch muscles in different positions and planes
Stretch Reflex
Mechanoreceptors in muscle tell CNS what is happening within that muscle Two of these are important in the stretch reflex Muscle spindle and the Golgi tendon organ (GTO) Sensitive to changes in muscle length GTO also sensitive to change in muscle tension
Static Stretching
Most commonly used Safe & effective Muscle gradually stretched to the point of mild tension If discomfort is felt, back off a little
This form of stretching is characterized by its rapid, jerky movement:
ballistic
Recovery Time is:
Amount of time for the body to return to resting levels after exercise.
Can You Exercise During Pregnancy?
Absolutely you can, and you should! If you are exercising prior to your pregnancy you may continue working out. If you are not exercising prior to your pregnancy you want to start with light aerobic workouts such as walking or swimming. Make you sure your doctor is aware of your fitness routine and has no medical reason why you shouldn't participate. Never exercise to exhaustion. Always be able to easily breathe during exercise. Transition to lower impact activities as you get closer to due date. You can still work the abdominal muscles even when pregnant. Elbow planks are a great and safe way to continue to work the ab muscles.
Complex Carbohydrates
Complex- Chains of sugar molecules If eaten correctly will promote weight loss. Choose whole grain, not whole wheat. Limit if not eliminate starches at your evening meal: breads, cereal, pasta, rice, beans, potatoes. Those that aid with weight loss are: whole grain foods, bran, raw vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Are an excellent sources of fiber (plant leaves, skins, roots, and seeds). Fiber are carbohydrates that cannot be digested. Fiber helps with digestion and helps to keep your blood glucose levels from rising to fast.
QUESTION.....
Does it matter if we are burning... FAT? Carbohydrates (CHO)? Protein? When we workout????? It is more important how many calories you are burning. If you are going to work at a lower intensity (60% of THR), you will need to work longer. If you are going to work at a higher intensity (85% of THR), you will work for a shorter duration. Example: 55 minutes at 60% THR will burn 400 calories. 22 minutes at 85% THR will burn 400 calories.

Spinal Flexion
Dr. Stuart McGill demonstrated on pig spines that repeated spinal forward flexions resulted in a herniated lumbar disc.
Water Intake
Drink plenty of water. How can you tell if you are drinking enough water? Divide body weight in half. This is the minimum amount of water you need to drink in 24 hours.

Do I Need To Take Supplements?
It is best to have a doctor test your blood to see what areas you are deficient in. A daily multi-vitamin that is full of vitamins and minerals is an overall good idea. They help with healthy aging, boosts immunity, supports eye health, and many other reasons. It is also a good idea to take a probiotic. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your digestive system as well as your health. Your body is full of good and bad bacteria. Probiotics are the "good" bacteria. It is especially important to take them while you are on antibiotics, as antibiotics wipe out the good bacteria. You can take them in a pill form or they are also found in foods such as kefir, yogurt, miso, and kimchi just to name a few.
Improper Neck Circles 2
Many people rotate their neck muscles to try to relax their neck. Partial neck circling is okay if done very slowly but full circling involves hyperextension of the neck and can cause serious problems. The top two vertebrae, the atlas and the axis are in an alignment that does not naturally permit full hyperextension. Efforts to put the neck in this position can cause pinching of nerves and arteries and damage the discs. A better way to stretch the neck is to use static neck stretching within the normal range of motion. Visualize the face of a clock and rotate between 3:00 and 9:00.

Lat Pulldown Behind Neck
The main issue with Lat Pulldown's behind the neck is that the movement has to be done with the shoulders in extreme external and horizontal abduction. Instead, do the pulldowns in front of your face as shown in this video on the next slide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePH7vUEA9PE&feature=youtu.be
Although exercise is generally considered to be good for a person's health, many exercises can actually be harmful.
The main problem is a lack of knowledge regarding how to perform exercise safely. It is important to know what exercises are considered harmful in order to decrease your risk of back or neck pain later in life.
Carbohydrates
There are 2 types of Carbohydrates: simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates are a bigger factor than calories in driving weight gain for most people, they lack nutrients. When you eat the simple carbohydrate (glucose) it enters the body quickly and blood sugar soars. The pancreas shoots out insulin(body's fat storage hormone) and the blood sugar momentarily stabilizes. Insulin has been overproduced , energy falls, and hunger returns. You reach for more simple carbohydrates and the cycle continues.
Standing Quad Stretch
There is a small risk of hyperflexing the knee joint, especially for people with large calf muscles. Also, as in the photo there is a tendency to pull the ankle laterally which stretches the ligaments of the knee.
Leg Press
This movement doesn't allow your body to move in a functional manner as you are locked into the movement of the machine. Additionally, it's very hard on the knees and lower back. According to Dr. Stuart McGill, "the leg press sometimes causes the pelvis to rotate away from the back rest when the weight is lowered. The resultant lumbar flexion produces herniating conditions for the disc!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGn3ZUUcg_Q&feature=youtu.be
Periodization in a Nutshell
Train for 4 weeks to achieve a specific objective (Anatomical Adaptation, Hypertrophy, Maximum Strength, Power). Then move to the next phase of training.
Age is a contributing factor to flexibility?
True
Sample Glute Routine
Whichever leg is on the ground for the Clamshells, place that same leg on the floor when doing the Bulgarian Lunge. Perform this circuit by doing exercises one and two with the right leg followed by the Hip Thruster. Repeat circuit using left leg. Move to next exercise within 5 seconds. 1. Modified Clamshell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxQeVbS5gLk 2. Bulgarian Lunge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtJxOC5raz4 3. Hip Thruster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5RsLTJQlhw
Exercise Myths Dispelled
You must include aerobic, strength, and flexibility training in your program. You can choose the order of the program. Does not matter if you complete strength training or cardio first. Just move daily. Muscle cannot turn to fat. Inactivity for even a few days reverses your cardio respiratory endurance gains. In other words, what took you 3 months to achieve can all be lost in one month off. If you have a cramp try stretching the muscle first. You do not need a sports drink as a fluid replacement. Water is great for you! If you exercise in the heat for more than 60 minute an electrolyte replacement is recommended. Coconut water is a better choice than Gatorade or PowerAde. Due to the heat and humidity of Houston you will need to drink a bit more, stay hydrated. You can exercise any time of the day. Research does show many benefits from exercising first thing in the morning, but we just want you to move. Any time of day is great.
