Fitness in Black & White

There has been a pervasive myth in the fitness industry that women shouldn't or can't be strong. This is absolute nonsense and down right insulting. Lu & Joe go over why women should train the same as men and how it benefits them in every way. There is no "strong for a girl", there is just strong.

Lu & Joe invite NYC personal trainer and fitness expert, Joel Collado, to talk about gym etiquette that is oftentimes ignored or flat out dismissed by gym goers. Simple things such as putting weights away or cleaning up your sweat, to unnecessary grunting are common gym behaviors that can annoy anyone. Now you tell us what really gets under your skin in 2020?

Joe and Lu discuss how and why personal gym equipment is used. When should a belt be worn? Are knee sleeves necessary? Do these things help prevent injury/improve performance or are they just fashion statements and trendy? There may be no "right" answer, but there are definitely good answers and shitty ones!

We have all experienced the no gym blues during this current epidemic. However, now that gyms are slowly starting to open, rushing in to go as hard as you once did is a potential mistake that you may pay for. Lu and Joe talk about the importance of easing back into your routine, as well as, mask and sanitation practices to keep yourselves and others safe and healthy.

Lu & Joe discuss what to watch for when looking for a client. Is the client consistent? Does the client follow the program? Does the client trust the trainers expertise? How about showing up on time or showing up at all? These questions and more are brought up in this weeks episode of "Does Your Client Suck?"
