Science speaks
Health Club Management
A few years ago, vibration training manufacturers seemed to constantly be working on new research, eager to back up the effectiveness of what might have been viewed as a "too good to be true" form of exercise. Previous studies have shown that whole body vibration training can help with muscle development, improved cardiovascular/cardiorespiratory endurance and lymphatic circulation, re-education of neuromuscular pathways and motor skills, pain reduction and regeneration and recovery. However, in recent years, the rate of research has slowed down, possibly because vibration training has now become more widely accepted by the industry.

Using goals to motivate clients
By Lisa Dunklin
 I'm quite used to those moments when a client voices frustration at herself while performing an exercise that challenges or when I have to deflect mock annoyance when he has to do one more set 10 minutes past the point of fatigue. And, while I have had several students during a group exercise class complain that they would rather be in a dentist's chair than doing burpees, one client's dissatisfaction with his involvement in exercise and his negation of my words of encouragement made me curious. How can a personal trainer best motivate to achieve repeated success?
Take a trip down memory lane to the gym: Using memories to motivate
Taylor & Francis via ScienceDaily
We all know that thinking about exercise isn't the same as doing it. But researchers from the University of New Hampshire have confirmed what may be the next best thing: just thinking about a past exercise experience can motivate us to actually do it.

Anti-aging protein pumps up muscle, brain function
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
Scientists at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute say they have shown that a protein can make the failing hearts in aging mice appear more like those of young healthy mice and can also improve brain and skeletal muscle function in aging mice. Drs. Amy Wagers and Lee Rubin report that injections of GDF11, which is found in humans as well as mice, improved the exercise capability of mice equivalent in age to that of about a 70-year-old human.
Get over your FOWO (fear of working out)
The Huffington Post
Exercise is one of the most potent stress-reducers on the planet — and yet, in the irony of ironies, it's the one thing far too many of us don't make time for. There are lots of reasons why, but the fact is the idea of working out can create enough stress that you skip it — and miss out on a boatload of mind and body benefits.

Working out, working in
Trinidad Express Newspapers
If you are or have ever been enthusiastic about physical culture, then chances are that at some point in your sport or exercise regime you have had to deal with plateaus, fatigue and injury.
Many athletes hit plateaus and then desperately endeavour to train harder and harder to improve, grinding through nagging strains and fatigue, embracing the pain to earn the gain, but instead end up with such things as injury, overtraining and adrenal fatigue. Contrary to popular belief, you don't actually get stronger or fitter from your workout. In fact, a hard workout has a lot of negative effects on your body.
Water matters when working out
NewsUSA via WDIV-TV
Studies have shown that Americans are chronically dehydrated. In fact, it appears that we will drink anything but the one thing our body needs — water.
Highlighting this point is a study of college football players preparing for a major NFL scouting event by trainer Amanda Carlson. She found that 98 percent of them were dehydrated at the morning evaluation.
Study suggests reasons for disparities in obesity rates between African-American, white women
News-Medical.Net
A new study suggests the reasons for disparities in obesity rates between African-American and white women are far more complex than the usual go-to culprits of socioeconomics, fruit and vegetable intake and exercise.
More importantly, according to obesity experts, the research shows the need to delve further into the questions of obesity.
