OMG! I just love NIKE! I especially love them for putting together such great looks! This makes me want everything in the picture. Especially the FlyKnits. These are a must have for me this fall! What do you think?
One thing that I currently should have in my trainer tool kit is the Lebert Stretch Straps. Especially now that they are in pink! I definitely need to add these to my toolbox! Marc is a great friend and even helped me on my journey to get to the Maccabiah Games as a coach!
Check out the stretch straps in pink:

Sooooooooo this might be a controversial and touchy subject. I love this girl to death. She is Canadian and a real sweetheart. She has marketed her self in the USA very well and has even created a really popular youtube channel. Her videos are edited quite well and she is always happy and energetic.
Despite all these positives I find a negative. She is very thin. The photo below is from a recent FitnessRx interview with Amanda. She has everything you would want in a trainer, but on the downside she is a signed and working fashion model. We all know that comes with weight and body issues. She does acknowledge that she is skinny and even addresses it in a youtube video:
With all her knowledge and marketing is she really giving people a good image of what a healthy and fit trainer who motivates people for lifestyle change should look like? Thoughts?
Congrats to Snooki. She did an amazing transformation and she worked her butt off to do it. Yes it takes time and she did it gradually. Way to go girl! Check out her cover:
Okay, more than a few pounds. Waaay more than a few, actually: The four-foot-nine Jersey Shore personality and new mother shed 42 pounds in six months, and as she told Mehmet Oz, MD, yesterday on The Dr. Oz Show, she did it without starving herself or resorting to any other unhealthy tricks.
She just wants to be a good role model for Lorenzo, her seven-month-old baby, Snooki told Dr. Oz. Hey, she’s already a good role model for all of us who need to clean up a little, whether we’ve been acting out on TV or spending too much time in a seated position watching other people act out on TV. So here are Snooki’s rules for losing weight. The shorthand version: Don’t be like Snooki.
Anti-Snooki Rule #1: Be sensible. It was the first question Dr. Oz asked: How did you lose the weight? “You don't do anything crazy,” Snooki told him. “You just go to the gym. You work out.” She wasn't kidding about that: She goes to the gym five days a week or more. And no half-asleep trudging on a Stairmaster for her, either. Trainer Anthony Michael makes sure she keeps her heart rate up (she wears a monitor) and her core muscles working, with exercises like squats, plank jacks, mountain climbers and stars. She also eats right: lean protein and fruit and vegetables, and plenty of it. She sticks to 1300 calories a day, but with foods like those she can eat whenever she gets hungry. “I worked very hard to lose that weight,” Snooki told Dr. Oz. Sensible!
Anti-Snooki Rule #2: Be patient. Snooki lost a lot of weight fast, but she struggled for the first few weeks when she was doing everything right for no visible reward. “I went to the gym for probably, like, a month and a half and I didn't see any results,” she said. “I’m, like, what the hell’s going on here?” She kept at it, though, and soon enough the weight started to come off and the muscles started to show. Because that’s Snooki: She’s goal-oriented, deals well with frustration, and perseveres. Right? Well, that’s the new Snooki. The anti-Snooki.
Anti-Snooki Rule #3: Be centered. Snooki wanted to make a major change in her life and her body, but not because she hated herself. She was motivated by wanting to be a good role model for baby Lorenzo, and by wanting to be able to keep up with him when he starts to get mobile. “And also I want to look good,” she said (which she does). “I don't want to be skinny—I want to be strong.” Snooki’s bottom line for all of us trying to get from where we are to where we want to be: “You should feel great about yourself, because you're an awesome person.” Then she took a sip of a cocktail Dr. Oz mixed for her: grapefruit, lime juice, and tequila, in a portion-controlled 125-calorie cup. Snooki, here’s to you!

We all know that Jillian Michaels has said before that she hates the gym. Well apparently she has spilled the beans on hating the gym again. Would you trust a trainer that hates the gym but is always in it training people? I think its one thing to say you don't like the gym and train people outdoors or with body weighted exercises. However this is such a bold statement. I love Jillian but if you are a motivator to both women and men for health and active lifestyles I don't think this is something you should just throw out there. Does she have anyone doing her PR? Well either way apparently she says that she actually hates the gym in an upcoming interview with Ben Tracy.
Jillian posted on her facebook "What if I told you that I absolutely hate the gym?"
"I spilled the beans to Ben Tracy on CBS Sunday Morning. Check out the full interview tomorrow at 6AM-8AM."
And then attached the following picture:
Check out the titin weighted compression shirt. I love the idea of this and I really want one. Unfortunately they are very expensive! If you want your own you can get it here: http://shop.titintech.com/main.sc
I was recently reading a fitness magazine and came across a really cool product. The Halo Trainer. This is a versatile, free standing friction-fitting piece of equipment that has ergonomic handlebars that improve the bosu ball or an exercise ball. It is ideal for all fitness levels, body types and abilities. I really want to try one of these and put it in my trainer tool box.

Today at physiotherapy my therapist used Voo Doo Bands on my knee. I have been working on flexion and with that I had lost some extension. He put these bands on my knee and did some manual work for only a few minutes. Then low and behold my extension was perfect. I suggest these bands be a staple in any athletes collection of gear! I need to get a set of these! So if anyone knows Rogue Fitness let them know I want a set.
Check out the new cam highlight trainer. They are super high and apparently super light.
