Have you seen ACSM's top fitness trends for 2011?? If not go to http://www.stonehearthnewsletters.com/acsms-top-fitness-trends-for-2011/corporate-fitness/ and check this out. Unfortunately, Pilates has fallen off of the top 10. The number one trend is EDUCATED AND EXPERIENCED FITNESS PROFESSIONALS. Hallelujah, as I do believe this is needed.

2. Fitness programs for older adults
3. Strength training
4. Children and obesity

6. Core training

9. functional fitness
10. Physician referrals

These are key and as I continue to study and grow, I do agree with this list. Check it out and let me know what you think. These guidelines are on track and I believe we need to be using them for our focus. Heed well.

Dr. Stuart McGill, PhD seminar, Denver, Colorado

I just returned from Denver, Colorado where the Chiropractors of Colorado held their state convention. Yes, the chiropractors and me. There were actually other professionals there as well.

Regarding the presenter, Dr. McGill, he was absolutely fantastic and unbelievable. I was exhausted but learned loads and the clients I train, and the trainers I teach will be receiving this information as best I can. The research he has conducted and the impact he has had on many disciplines has been enormous.

I encourage all to study his work and utilize the information for the betterment of all those who are weak in the lumbo-pelvic area or have been injured.

In our industry, we must progress, continue to study and provide quality care for our clients. If we are not, we are not being true to ourselves.
