Filed Under (Fitness Education, Interviews, Post Rehab Fitness) by Rick Kaselj on 03-03-2010

When I was running bootcamps last summer, I was always looking for bootcamp workouts .

One guy that had a lot of them, many of them I used in my bootcamps, is Craig Ballantyne.

Craig was generous enough to do an interview and share a bunch of his bootcamp workout secrets with you.

Before I get to the interview.  Let me give you a little background on Craig.

Craig is a trainer in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  (We won’t hold that against him.)

Craig ran bootcamps in community centers.

He found that he had access to very minimal equipment.

Since he had limited equipment he began putting together bootcamp workouts with minimal equipment and in many cases just focused on bodyweight exercises.

His success lead him to showing other trainers how to do these types of workouts without having to worry about driving equipment around town or carrying boxes of equipment to the park.

Now other fitness profesionals have been using his bootcamp workoutsto get their bootcampers results.

Now to the interview.

5 Bootcamp Mistakes Fitness Professionals Make

In the interview, Craig will:

- Reveal the 5 Bootcamp Mistakes Fitness Professionals Make
- What to do about cardio in your bootcamps
- Lets us know who Craig Ballantyne is!
- Shares his experience leading bootcamps

3 Ways the Rotator Cuff Could be Causing Your Client’s Shoulder Impingement

Filed Under (Exercise Rehabilitation, Interviews, Medical Referals) by Rick Kaselj on 27-11-2009

Shoulder Impingement Exercises 270x300 3 Ways the Rotator Cuff Could be Causing Your Clients Shoulder ImpingementA common injury with the shoulder is shoulder impingement.  Rotator cuff exercises are important on helping your client recover from shoulder impingement.

What is Shoulder Impingement?

When the non-injured arm is at your side, there is about 6 to 14 mm of space in the subacromial space (the space between acromion and humerus).  As one moves their arm out to the side (abduction), the space in the subacromial space decreases.  With some people the humerus and acromion end up pinching the structures in the subacromial space.  The structures that could be pinching are the bursa, supraspinatus tendon or long head of the biceps tendon.  This pinching is called shoulder impingement.  Shoulder impingement is a big problem and commonly seen in my clients.  If shoulder impingement is not addressed it could lead to a partial or full tear of the rotator cuff.

Ankle Injuries & Exercise with Jimmy Smith

Filed Under (Ankle Foot Injury, Exercise Rehabilitation, Interviews, Knee Injury) by Rick Kaselj on 21-10-2009

ankle_injuries_ExercisesAnkle injuries are huge.

That is why I have chatted so much about them on the blog.  If you dig in the archives of the blog, you will find a hiking stretch to prevent ankle injuries and  why your clients ankle exercise rehabilitation program is not working.

Now back to this post.

My 23 month old son suffered an ankle sprain.

Ya!  23 month old.

He was playing in the playground and came off the slide funny. 

I was there and watch it.  It was a classic inversion sprain.

I think it was because of the over-sized running shoes he was wearing.

It slowed him down but he was able to continue playing.

We noticed it even more later that night.

His gait was off and his ankle was sloppy.

He bounce back very quickly.

I will keep an eye on that right ankle to see what happens over the next little while.

Now to the interview.

I interviewed Jimmy Smith, who is a personal trainer in Stamford, Connecticut.

Jimmy shared a number of tips on how he used exercise to over come his ankle injury plus his approach to clients with injuries.

What Jimmy Smith Covers in the Interview on Exercise and Ankle Injuries:

- His story of ankle injuries
- Ankle injuries and low back pain
- Exercises he did to overcome his ankle injury
- Stretching exercises that helped his ankle injury
- How he approaches a client that has had an injury
- Advice for trainers that are afraid of client’s with injuries
