John Weiss | A Personal Training Journey | Body-N-Motion: Give it up. Wait, no! Just REPLACE it.
http://body-n-motion.blogspot.com/2010/08/give-it-up-wait-no-just-replace-it.html
John Weiss A Personal Training Journey Body-N-Motion. Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Give it up. Wait, no! Bad: “Causing or liable to cause sickness or ill health; injurious or harmful.” (Dictionary.com). When someone says, “that’s bad for you,” you may start thinking, ‘Maybe I should consider giving it up.”. Now I’m Catholic, so usually I’m only in this mindset for 40 days sometime in the spring. However, I think it’s important to have this mindset at all times of the year. I’ve seen a lot of people (m...

John Weiss | A Personal Training Journey | Body-N-Motion: A Mark of Success!
http://body-n-motion.blogspot.com/2010/07/mark-of-success.html
John Weiss A Personal Training Journey Body-N-Motion. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. A Mark of Success! During the holiday season, I put on some extra padding. I’d say it was there to keep me warm, but the truth is I was just getting rather large. How did I notice? Well, for one, my clothes weren’t fitting. I have to mention this because I’ve come a long way since then — over 40 pounds of weight loss! Quote: Milton Garland, “My advice is to go into something and stay with it until you like it. You c...I need ...

John Weiss A Personal Training Journey Body-N-Motion. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. Rain, rain go away! Come again anoth- . wait! As I told you in the previous post, I went out to the Dave Matthews Band concert. Over the weekend. For me, this is an annual tradition of entertaining and epic proportions. To be honest, my memory of these “memories” is a little foggy. Although I think it’s to be expected in that environment. This weekend however, I remember clearly. Bad joke, I know). And it felt great to get in...

John Weiss A Personal Training Journey Body-N-Motion. Monday, August 2, 2010. Zest, Zeal, Zip. Cruising by the Jefferson Memorial. Don't forget to vote for the best gym in the city, just click here! Z is kind of like the number 1. … huh? Think about it. If they say 1 is the loneliest number, then Z is definitely the loneliest letter. At least 1 has its own song. Now you may be wondering. What is John talking about? Individuals. And they really are individuals! My DC buddy @ FDR Memorial. In closing, 1 do...

John Weiss | A Personal Training Journey | Body-N-Motion: Switch it up!
http://body-n-motion.blogspot.com/2010/07/switch-it-up.html
John Weiss A Personal Training Journey Body-N-Motion. Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Have you ever been bored? If you’re perusing the web right now that may be the case. We’ve all been bored. Sometimes you can even get bored at the gym — no matter how many exercise options you have. Then you know what I’m talking about. “Put one foot in front of the other and soon you’ll be walking out the door.” That’s about all running does for me. So what’s the point…? I thought I was getting to a point where the workouts ...

John Weiss | A Personal Training Journey | Body-N-Motion: Pain before pleasure…?!
http://body-n-motion.blogspot.com/2010/06/pain-before-pleasure.html
John Weiss A Personal Training Journey Body-N-Motion. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Pain before pleasure…? Have you ever had a day at the gym when a part of your body just feels weak. That happened to me on Monday. I was running a little late to my workout. I slipped right into a set of decline and close-grip bench press. I handled those pretty well. It’s actually the first time in years I’ve been able to lift the bar with a 45-pound plate on each side. That felt rather inspiring. John, Day 25. Pain before ple...

http://body-n-motion.blogspot.com/2010/08/kinetics-art-of-building-energy.html
John Weiss A Personal Training Journey Body-N-Motion. Friday, August 13, 2010. Kinetics: The Art of Building Energy. This week, I experimented a little bit. Sitting here now, I can appreciate the perspective this experiment has given me. However, I didn’t realize I was experimenting until I was aware of the perspective. (Yes … “experiment” 3 times in one paragraph! Between work and preparing for school, I really didn’t have any time to work out this week. At least that’s what I told myself. A regular fit...

John Weiss A Personal Training Journey Body-N-Motion. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. A New Trainer, A New Theory. Sorry my post is late, it's been a busy week - this is from Monday.). Power Endurance = Rob Rayford. Rob is the newest trainer at Body-N-Motion. Chris was out sick most of the week and I had the opportunity to work out with Rob. At first I thought, Ahhh! Enough with the weight lifting! I want to run! Why am I so sore? He would actually add weight as we advanced in our sets. John, Day 24. Click 'Post...

John Weiss | A Personal Training Journey | Body-N-Motion: Monster Curls on the Squat Bar
http://body-n-motion.blogspot.com/2010/06/monster-curls-on-squat-bar.html
John Weiss A Personal Training Journey Body-N-Motion. Friday, June 25, 2010. Monster Curls on the Squat Bar. As I entered Body-N-Motion yesterday, I was unaware of what was to come. It was arm day, so I expected we would be doing some curls. What I didn’t expect was how we’d do them. As I’ve mentioned before, Rob’s technique involves power endurance. How does this technique transition to curls? He uses the bench bar! Yeah, no dumbbells or curl bars. I thought the man was crazy. Are you kidding me? A co-w...
