GFTR #22 Trish Muse on Cueing the Core

“Working the core” is all the rage right now.  But how do we incorporate core work into a class where there is not specific time for it?  And how do we cue it if we don’t have a Pilates background?  My guest, Trish Muse and I discuss how to work the core, with good effective cueing, in classes that are not core specific.  Trish‘s experience as a  Physical Therapist (she is working on her Doctorate), group fitness and Pilates instructor really help her describe how to do this.  You can learn more about Trish at www.bodyproductions.com.  Enjoy!

GFTR #21 – Chris Freytag and her athletically inspired class

You know that guy that is always running on the treadmill, or the one that is in the weight room every day?  Wouldn’t it be fun to pull him into your class for once? Chris Freytag and I talk about getting the “athletic minded extroverts” into our classes.  By allowing our participants the freedom to move without paying attention to choreography, we can attract those that would never ever consider coming to a “dance class”.  Chris calls it organized chaos.  Join us as we talk about the athletically inspired class and how to execute it.  You can learn more about Chris at her website: chrisfreytag.com and please contact me: amyjo@groupfitnessradio.com.  I would love to hear from you!

GFTR #20 – Bowenwork, The Next Generation of Pain Therapy

Pain…..okay, I do not like to admit it, but now that I am not 29 anymore, I sometimes have to deal with it.  How about you?  My guest is Sean Wolf and he specializes in a technique called Bowenwork.  A listener contacted me because it worked so well for her and she was very impressed.  Bowenwork is a gentle and subtle technique that releases connective tissue and addresses the entire body, not just the specific area of pain.  Take a listen and let me know what you think.  More information about Sean can be found at www.BodyRestorationClinic.com and about Bowenwork in general at www.bowenwork.com.

GFTR #19 – Meet Omar Graham from Breezes Runaway Bay Jamaica

How does a very affordable Caribbean vacation sound right about now?  Remember Episode #6 when I talked with Suzelle Snowden from Fit Bodies about working vacations for fitness pros?  Well, I just returned from a working vacation at Breezes Runaway Bay in Jamaica and interviewed my favorite Jamaican gym PRO- Omar Graham.  Here is how I can afford to go every year. He is a blast to work with and his enthusiasm is contagious.   The guests love him and he just released a DVD called “Reggae Work That Body” because they asked him for one!  You can learn more about his DVD at www.reggaeworkthatbody.com.  Enjoy!
