BEAUFORT PERSONAL TRAINER: IN 2013, WORK OUT THE KINKS IN EXERCISE MYTHS
It’s a New Year and your #1 resolution is to start a regular exercise or a Beaufort health and fitness routine. And this time you’re serious, motivated and committed. Congratulations – you made a very wise decision!
However, if you’re new to the world of fitness, you may be swayed by some false ideas about exercise.
There are a lot of misconceptions out there that have to be debunked and clarified, says Beaufort personal trainers. The more people are informed before they start working out, the more benefit they will be able to get from their regimen.
Some of the commonly held myths about exercise that Beaufort personal trainers says have no merit are:
- Any exercise is good.“Actually, no. There are some moves that can definitely harm you. For example, if not done properly, the lat pull-down behind the head can cause serious injury to your shoulders or vertebrae. The list of potentially dangerous (and often useless) exercises is long. Again, ask your Beaufort health and fitness professional or a Beaufort personal trainer for safer and more effective alternatives.”
- “No Pain No Gain:”Absolutely not true, Beaufort fitness experts says. “While you might feel a burn in the belly of the muscle if you are training hard, you should not be feeling pain in any of your joints. You may experience some soreness and minor aches when you first start working out. But the way to minimize this is to gradually increase intensity over time. Your exercise program should take off more like a plane than a rocket. The key is to start gradually. If you’re in a lot of pain or discomfort, you may have injured yourself. Maybe you did start exercising too abruptly, without a proper warm-up. Or perhaps you’re not doing the exercises correctly. In either case, ask a Beaufort personal trainer to show you how to work out safely and effectively. Remember: Often, pain is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong.”
- Exercise alone will make me lose weight quickly. “Exercise is very effective in Beaufort weight loss IF it goes hand-in-hand with sensible eating. But if you don’t pay attention to your calorie intake, it will be difficult – for most people – to achieve enduring weight loss through exercise alone. Remember: while exercising will burn a significant number of calories, a weight loss will occur only if you don’t replenish those calories in between workouts. Combining exercise with eating in a way that supports your metabolism, on the other hand, will give you the results you want.”
- Toning sneakers will burn more calories than “regular” athletic footwear. “That’s what all the ads would have you believe. However, the American Council on Exercise says there is no evidence to suggest that these expensive shoes will help you firm up butts, legs and calves. In fact, sports experts say that this footwear has special design features such as rounded soles, which may cause people with balance problems to fall down while walking or running.”
These are just some of the myths you should be aware of. There are many more. Again: this is where a Beaufort personal trainer can put you on the right track – no pun intended.
All Personal Trainers At EarthFIT Beaufort are CSCS certified (Strength and Conditioning Specialist)
In the professional world you typically see letters after an individuals name. The letter signifies a distinction, certification, schooling, etc.
When it comes to personal training there are only a few letters that really count. The reason being, is that the personal training industry is unregulated. Someone can tell you they are a certified personal trainer but it means absolutely nothing because 1) they could have gotten that cert online or over the weekend with little effort; 2) They can have absolutely no experience. So at EarthFIT I decided to self regulate by only allowing people with highest level of education, experience, and of course, certification train our clients. Each trainer must garner the best the industry has to offer, the CSCS or Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist certification.
Before I explain to you the significance on the CSCS certification please join me in congratulating Jeff Conover, Maxine Langford and Khadine Clifford in obtaining this certification over the Holidays. Being that you train at EarthFIT, you can be proud that everyone on staff has the highest distinction in certification when it comes to coaching and personal training.
Now, since most people don’t understand what the CSCS really means, allow me to convey this certification to the layman, compared to the rest in the sea of certs that laden our industry (and sometimes give it a bad name). There are numerous certifications in our industry that Joe Shmo can get without having a high school diploma or any personal training experience. Someone can literally study for a couple days or weeks, take a test, and then call himself a personal trainer. Imagine if any other profession was like that, accounting, Law, Medical, Engineering, Architecture, it would be fair to say that life would be more complicated… When it comes to the CSCS, before you can even qualify for the test you must have at minimum a 4-year degree from an accredited college. This prerequisite eliminates every other certification in the industry except 1, which caters more towards rehab than personal training. On top of that, it is the only fitness certification that you will typically see directly after a PhD distinction. Meaning that it is the only certification that holds weight or respect in the academic world because of its in-depth sciences and difficulty in passing when it comes to strength and conditioning and personal training. I will spare you all the details but you can rest assured that you are in the best hands when it comes to quality, education, experience – and let’s not forget attitude – when you work with any personal trainer at EarthFIT.
Again, please join me in congratulating these 3 Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists by leaving a comment below this blog post.

Back Pain Relief4Life and Basketball
While we were filming a promo for Back Pain Relief4Life, a program we created which is now “The Worlds Simplest and Most Effective Way To Eliminate Back Pain… Fast and Naturally… Without the Need For Medication, Surgery or Fancy Equipment” it included a segment of me playing basketball which was cut up into the video you see below.
The video above is connected to our story because my back pain all started during my basketball career. You will see in the video above that I have a decent vertical jump and 2 times in my basketball career, I jumped up as high as I could and the opponent cut my legs out from under me, the result being that I landed directly on my back in the same spot 2 times. This happened 2 times in about 2 years. The first time I didn’t go to the hospital, the second time my parents insisted that I go and it turned out I fractured my fifth lumbar transverse process.
For about 10 years after that I believed I was doomed with back pain for the rest of my life. I tried everything and I mean everything. You can see more of the story in the video below about how I tackled my back pain or click onthis link All Natural Back Pain Relief to read about it.
Long story short, I now have the solution to back pain relief for the rest of my life, along with thousand of others who have tried the program and were amazed at how simple the solution is. You can do it any where at anytime all thanks to the back pain relief4life formula. The formula has been so powerful that it is now patent pending with the USPTO office and SELF Magazine has asked on a few occasion to write articles about back pain relief for their subscribers. If you or a loved one is suffering from back pain.
I highly recommend giving Back Pain Relief4Life a try. Don’t just take my word for it, when you go to http://www.backpainrelief4life.com you will see the only website in the world with real live testimonials of people who had tried everything to no avail until Back Pain Relief4Life.

BEAUFORT PERSONAL TRAINER: EXERCISE WON’T BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES
If you regularly work out at a moderate or intensive level, you may be concerned – as many people are – that exercise could “wear and tear” your knee and other joints. You can relax!
A research study published in the scientific journal of the American College of Sports Medicine, the largest sports medicine and exercise science organization in the world, shows that physical activity is actually beneficial to knee health. The main concern has always been that vigorous exercise could cause bony spurs called osteophytes, an overgrowth of bone tissue which develops in deteriorating joints and tendons, says Beaufort personal trainers. But these findings clearly show that physical activity, if done correctly, is not harmful to the knees. According to the research, spurs may be the body’s healthy response to ongoing stimulation from physical activity. As a matter of fact, rather than hurting the knees, exercise or Beaufort health and fitness activity has been shown to cause fewer injuries to the knees’ cartilage, a flexible connective tissue found in joints between bones.
Beaufort personal trainers point out that the study’s findings should reassure all those who forego exercise for the fear of injuring their knees. It is understandable that people want to protect their knee joints as well as related muscles and tendons because they play such an important role in how we move and carry the body weight. However, giving up Beaufort fitness activity altogether is not the answer. Essentially, it’s counterproductive to the end goal – it lends to weight gain, which adds more pressure to the knees. What you need is a safe way to exercise.
Everyone, and especially those who are susceptible to twisting and stretching injuries of the knee, would benefit from exercises and stretches that focus on the glutes, hips, quadriceps, hamstrings and calves.
A Beaufort personal trainer or Beaufort fitness expert can show you a whole range of exercises that are terrific for your knees’ strength and flexibility. What is also important is maintaining a healthy body weight so your knees don’t buckle under the added pressure; also wearing appropriate footwear. It’s important to note that while exercise is good for the knees, it is beneficial for all the other joints and bones as well.
Lack of exercise can make your joints more painful by weakening the supporting muscles. Just like for the knees, strength, flexibility and endurance training can make a world of difference in making all your joints less stiff and sore. A Beaufort personal trainer can guide you toward the most effective and safest exercises.
