Genetic Testing for Sport Talent Identification

Bottom Line - it's not reliable and has a long way to go - not in your lifetime.
http://www.multibriefs.com/briefs/acsm/active9-20.htm

Can I just say - What is wrong here? People get a grip!!! I've been in this fitness industry for close to 20 years and I just have to say there's so much more than genetics - DUH!!!! I mean if you're healthy and you can move your body then you can train and you can practice and you can improve - there's no shortcut, there's no magic pill and if there is - what do you think the consequences are? I'm so tired of people wanting the instant results without doing any practice, why is fitness and health any different than any other skill? WAKE UP PEOPLE - DON'T BELIEVE THE FRICKIN HYPE - GET A GRIP!

What about the 10,000 hour / 10 year rule? What about practicing and moving so that the body and mind learn together and wire together? Plus, lots of other factors environmental, lifestyle etc. that go into making a person good at what they do.

Ladies, Don't Focus On Hard Numbers

The problem most people encounter is losing steam once the novelty of the resolution has worn off. Too many times this happens because people are unrealistic and impractical with the resolutions they make. Try avoiding hard numbers when making goals.

“I’m going to lose 10 pounds by summer” and “I’m going to drop two dress sizes in eight weeks” are common fitness resolutions many women make. The problem with these two resolutions is that they’re too fixated on a number. If every week you stand on the scale or try to slide on your skinny jeans to see the progress you’ve made, it’s much easier to become discouraged when you see no evidence of change. By focusing too much on the end result, you lose sight of the behavioral changes you should be making to reach these goals.

Instead of creating a fitness resolution with the end result in mind, create one that is more focused on behavioral changes. “I’m going to try one new healthy recipe every week instead of ordering take-out” or “I’m going to take one 45 minute walk five days a week” are better resolutions to make. Why? It is because they focus on things you can directly control. At the end of the day, losing 10 pounds and keeping the weight off is only going to happen if you’re leading a healthier lifestyle. You’re bound to stick to a healthier lifestyle if you aren’t constantly discouraged by the number on the scale.

Also remember to cut yourself some slack. Slipping up isn’t the end of the world. Focus on the positive instead of the negative and watch your fitness level improve regularly! See you at the gym.

What is a SMART goal?

I will be on KBND radio today from 8:30 - 9am talking about how to set SMART Goals and how to use them to achieve New Year's Fitness Resolutions! Tune in if you can, 1110 am.
So what is a SMART goal. S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for specific, measurable, attainable or action-oriented, realistic, and timeline. According to Wikipedia Smart goals were first created or discussed in project or performance management and they are now applied to personal goal setting as well. An example of a general goal would be, "I will lose weight". An example of the SMART goal version of this would be "I want to lose 20 lbs by April 15th, 2011. I will perform 30 min. of cardio and 30 min. of strength training per day, 4 times per week and I will only eat starchy carbohydrates 3 times a week."
Research shows that setting smart goals helps us be more successful at actually achieving our goals! So good luck and good planning! Go out there and write down your SMART goal and take action now! What are some of your SMART fitness goals?
