The Migas Project, Diagnostic Session #1 Holly
As I sat down with Dan and Holly for our first session I was very excited to see their level of motivation. This is always a major factor in the success or failure of many training programs. Trainers understand this with each new client they get. Those that come in motivated are much easier to work with than those who are not. This does not mean someone who may not be overly motivated to begin exercising will no be successful, it will just take more effort. So my relief when they arrived was all I needed to know that this was going to be a great session.

Choosing the Best Option for Cardio Machines
Back in Early 2009 we discussed some of the pros and cons of various cardiovascular machines. Since many of you may be taking advantage of a new Piece of exercise equipment you purchased or are down at the gym with your new membership I thought it would be good to let you revisit some of these posts so you know not only what machines to choose but also how to make them more effective.
How Much Exercise do We Really Need?
Our latest Poll was asking how often you exercise with the overwhelming response (60% compared to 10% for the next most popular) being 1-2 Hours a day 3-5 days a week. SO this means the majority worked out somewhere between 3 and 10 hours a week. For many years we have heard various "experts" tell us how much exercise our bodies "need". I have heard the common responses of 3 days a week for 60 minutes. More aggressive estimates are along the lines of 6 days a week for 45-75 minutes. So what is the actual amount of exercise we need to get during the course of a week?

Exercise of the Week Workout Video #3 Strength Training Program
Here is a video that shows you all of the moves we incorporated into the exercise of the week program strength routine. Below you will find the sets and reps to do with each routine if you want to try it out on your own. As always it is dangerous to just jump into any exercise program without first seeing your doctor if you have any pain symptoms or health issues. As you try this routine, if you feel pain in your body, stop the exercise immediately. We have added some new programs for you to purchase in the store. If you like what you see from this workout video, check them out and see if there is a product that may benefit you.

Great News for Anyone who Travels
We have another new product coming out next week. Like many of the other first ones available in our store, the new Travel Program is designed with a certain criteria in mind. One of our trainers, Eric Kirch was doing some traveling earlier this summer and he was reminded how incredibly hard it was on our bodies. Cab rides, layovers, cramming into the tiny seats of a 727, long car rides, all of these are disaster to our muscular systems and create high enough levels of tightness to create pain.
What can you do about that Aching Lower Back Part 2
I wanted to finish the discussion from yesterdays post. If you read that article you will get our take on how to train the body. We hope you are starting to understand our point that training the human body requires stimulus to the muscles and depending on the type of stimulus you use will determine the reaction from the body.

What Can You do about That Aching Lower Back?
We are getting ready to unveil our newest program for you. It is called "30 Days to a New back". Before I get to far into this I want to reiterate a few things we have discussed during the many posts we have had when dealing with philosophy. First, we are not medically licensed, nor does anyone in the medical community endorse what we do. 
Our training is based upon principals that we believe to be the way the human body was meant to be trained. We have not gone over this since some of our very early philosophy posts but check out the philosophy category to check out more on our philosophy.
Poll Results!
About two weeks ago we asked you to vote on what type of product you would like to see Train2move create for you next. Thank you to everyone who voted! In the end the highest number of votes went to the Lower Back Program. It had 38% of the votes beating out Vertical Jump which had 28% and a Strength Training Program that had 21%. So over the next week we will build a program we are calling, "30 Days to a New Back".
