Hello everyone,
Today is something of a sad one as I will get right to the point. I will be closing the doors of US Sports Strength and Conditioning (one-on-one, in-person, personal fitness training services) effective close of business December 31, 2016. The reasons vary and I won't bore you with that explanation and instead will speak to you (my in person clients) in person about the reasons .  Here's a Coach-Sized bear hug for all of you! I should state that although I will no longer be training my valued clients in-person; I will be in creasing and getting even further involved in our Online personal training and Strength and Conditioning services. Those of you who I am training online will continue to get this great service and I look forward to making US Sports Online Strength and Conditioning an even bigger, better and more effective way to help you get into the greatest shape of your life! . I will do everything possible to place you (my in-person clients) with one of 202 fitness' personal trainers who in my opinion are some of the best in the area, or help you continue your fitness programs in any way I can. This decision primarily, I will state is a logistical one and in no way reflects on the relationships I have forged with you, my clients over these many years for many of you. I want to thank you for the opportunity to help you meet an exceed your fitness goals. It is an experience that I will never forget and I am grateful for said opportunity. I also know that you are fully capable of maintaining the healthy lifestyle that you have worked so hard to achieve. I only have had the privilege of presiding over your success. I cannot thank you enough. Nate Lewis US Sports Online Strength and Conditioning www.fitnessgenerator.com/ussportsradio

Your Nutritional Relationship
Nate Lewis CSCS
President,
US Sports Strength and Conditioning
First I want to give thanks to God and his planting of the Holy Spirit the source of all knowledge, for enlightening me in this subject. Believe me when I tell you, by myself I am not this brilliant! :)
Okay first a little back story as a Personal Trainer and now as a Strength and Conditioning Coach (I will explain the difference in another blog post on another day), I believe my biggest failing was to get my clients following and moving towards a solid, healthy meal plan.
I have all of the tools and especially the nutrition planner online at the US Sports Strength and Conditioning System, so why was it that only about 1% of my clients following their meal plans or even giving them a good look?
I could only point to myself and looking for what was wrong in how I was presenting the meal plan to them. So the first thing I did was pray asking God to give me the wisdom to help my clients better in this nutrition area which is at least 50% of your success in fitness regardless of your goal.
Well just a couple of days ago it hit me, or better yet God gave me the answer: "Why would anyone want to eat to lose weight?". Does that not remove the fun out of eating, because lets face it good food is fun, taste good, feels good, to eat. Wouldn't the least bit of worry about whether this food or that food follows a regiment that is all of a sudden going to cause me to not lose the 30 lbs that has been plaguing me for lo' these many moons?
So I started to think: "What is food for? What is its main purpose?" Well simply put its fuel! Every function in you body needs energy and all foods, regardless of how nutritious they are provide some form of this energy.
Now I know for a fact with myself and many of the athletes that I train and consult with that the better quality foods you eat, the better you function on and off the field. Now here is where it applies to all fitness warriors. The better fueled you are the easier it is to complete tasks associated with your workouts!
You see, food is fuel for your workouts and when you have the right balance of nutrients those high volume, high intensity workouts are a little easier to complete as you have that extra energy to complete them.
The better your workouts, the more energy you can put into them, the better your results. Weight/Fat Loss, Muscle Gain, and of course more energy.
In order to complete this it is foolish to eat less. In many cases you may have to take in more calories. And even if your eating habits are not the best add a variety of vegetables, fruits, lean meats to the so called: "crappy" foods that you may be eating now and watch your workouts get a little more doable as you have more energy and for lack of a better phrase "pop" in your muscles to complete workout related tasks.
Our clients work hard as I have most doing short burst, intense workouts where in 20-30 minutes, as any of them will tell you, we will do a workload that would otherwise take about 2 hours. The best part about fueling for the workout as oppose to restricting what you are eating to lose weight is that you will essentially convince your body that is has the nutrients that it needs from foods so that it can use the excess body fat for fuel. Thus putting you in position to get leaner, more cut, ripped, etc., while taking the worry out about eating too much. Here is the almost 'magical' transformation that will take place. You are training your pallet to recognize where the best source of these energy nutrients come from so after some time you will actually crave the better foods without having to force yourself to restrict what you like to eat.
Finally, this revelation is no good unless you act on it. If you are like many that have fallen off your New Year's resolution, realizing that resolution thing is not the best way to change anything about your life, then I and the dedicated fitness professionals at US Sports Strength and Conditioning are here to help.
Whether you are an athlete getting ready for the upcoming season or a fitness warrior preparing to physically dominate the rest of your life, we have the plan, the tools, the knowledge and the desire to help you get on a lifetime of fitness success. All programs come with a free trial period so you have nothing to lose..well except a few excess pounds. I look forward to helping you!

Feature exercise AB - Theraball Cable Rope Crunches
I am often asked: "What is the best ab exercise?" Ask any trainer or Strength Coach and they will tell you that there is no one single answer to that question. This week we will bring you some of the better tried and true exercises involving the core that are a part of the US Sports Online Strength and Conditioning System. Enjoy!
Please consult a physician before attempting any exercise or exercise program.
AB - Theraball Cable Rope Crunches (Res) | View Video |
| Exercise Description: | |
Lie back on a large, rubberized exercise ball such as a Theraball. Make sure the ball is designed for your particular bodyweight. Use a rope handle attached to the lower pulley of a cable machine for the resistance. Exhale and crunch forward 3-5 inches. This is an excellent exercise that requires balance and a higher level of strength in order to perform it correctly. | |
