Last week Carleton University announced that they were going to remove the scales from the washrooms in the gym because, quote ‘We don’t believe being fixated on weight has any positive effect on your health and well-being,’ I think I will add in here they’re talking about when it becomes the focal point of a weight-loss program.

If you’re new to the show welcome, if you’ve been listening for a while thank you for coming back, I hope you find today’s episode useful, interesting and at least a little bit entertaining, I know we’re a little hit or miss there sometimes, but I try. We’re going to do some different things with the format of this show including bringing some of our other trainers on, giving more case studies, having conversations instead of just having me talking, I don’t know exactly how we’re going to roll that out yet, but if you have the chance I think you should hit the subscribe button, because things are going to change on a more regular basis and most of the shows are going to have a different feel than how we do them now.

Fatima: I started exercising with my roommate and right now, we’re keeping upper and lower body exercises on separate days. Would it be better to do them together?
Marlo: I was ill for the past 6 months. Now I’m trying to return to my previous level of activity, but everything’s so tiring, frustrating and I just don’t feel good when I exercise anymore, which is an essential motivator for me. How do I get my enthusiasm –and shape – back?
Sam: I get light headed easily, but I want to do exercise. What would be a good way for me to start? Can I train myself to get used to it so I don’t get light headed any more?

It's no secret that most people would like to lose fat, unfortunately many people go about it in an ineffective way, what I mean by that is that most people, who want to lose fat take the first step of walking or running on a treadmill at the gym for 30 minutes to an hour at a time doing low steady state cardio. Which isn’t necessarily wrong you will burn some calories and fat and there are lots of other health benefits associated with low steady-state cardiovascular activity and it is definitely, definitely better than doing nothing, but if you want to burn a lot of calories and a lot of fat you’ll have to increase the intensity of that cardiovascular style training.I personally think the treadmill is best but it can still be any piece of equipment, a bike an elliptical, the rower, the stairmaster, whatever it is it doesn't matter what's important is that you follow a few of the following strategies.

Evan - Can I take a protein shake, before sleeping, after a workout?

1) Form & depth on squats and leg press: I generally hear that for squats, going down as far as thighs parallel to the floor is preferred, but only if the back stays arched and the knees stay behind the toes. But for incline leg press and sometimes for squats I'm told that going just past 90 degrees at the knee is adequate. Can you weigh in on appropriate depth and whether and why there are differences between depth on squats and depth on different types of leg press?
2) Strength training via weight lifting or high intensity interval training: I usually exercise 4-5 times per week with two days dedicated to strength training. I usually think of weight lifting as the foundation of strength training, but over the years I've seen a lot of emphasis at the gym on strength training via low-weight or body-weight high intensity interval training classes. I'm wondering if I should consider replacing my weight lifting workouts with high intensity interval workouts targeting the same muscle groups.

This brings up the point I want to talk about today, do your actions, the things you literally do everyday match your perception of your actions. In other words if you say things are a certain way and we had a camera crew follow you around, would the things you say you do match what you actually do. Let's take a look.
