In December 2015 I threw my hat back into the arena of the “gym” business. The reason I am writing about this 4 years later is because of the immense emotional toll this took on my family and I. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For those of you that know me I’ve been out of the “gym” business for some time. My focus has been on primary and continuing education and event planning. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was approached by relatives who were interested in purchasing a new business and found a medium size facility in a fairly exclusive upscale area on the north shore of Long Island. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On goes my consultant hat along with the idea I may have a home and place to build as “I see fit” (pun intended). My relatives had owned other businesses in the past but they had no experience in the “gym/fitness” industry. Without tooting my own “horn” my expertise was the reason they approached me in October about this endeavor <i>or so I thought.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was both flattered and excited to be a part of this whole process.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What happened over the next 5 months floored me. I have had many experiences in the gym, fitness, education, training and consulting side of our industry and what looked too good to be true became just that.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My personal training business has been steady since hurricane Sandy but to be honest I have not been focused on growing that aspect of my business. I was maintaining a steady clientele, many of which had survived the storm (quite literally). I had just finished the FEI Eclipse 2015 event and was already focusing on the upcoming year. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The timing was perfect and the ideas of combining a facility with everything I had been working on appealed to me on many levels. One which of course was a steady income and of course the idea that I could helm and rebuild this brand along with my "others". Kettlebell Spec Ops, Reality Personal Training and those with whom I was working and consulting with at the time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the beginning of November the homework began. I took every detail of the potential sale and started the evaluation process.I threw myself into this thinking I had the full support of my "partners/family".</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In part 2 of this blog I will take you through that step by step process and the vision I had.<br />

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></b>I began an informal investigation into the power of mistakes as a teenage competitive
tennis player. Instead of throwing my racket or cursing a mistake, like many of
my opponents, I would search for clues in an errant shot to help me improve. So,
if I hit a forehand into the net, I would conclude that my shot was too flat
and I needed to use more topspin the next time. While I couldn't always execute
the perfect forehand, I had pre-programmed my brain to establish more high-percentage
shots based on previous mistakes.
<br />
<br />
<br />
It wasn't until I studied <span style="background-color: red;">error-detection</span> in graduate school that I learned
the theory behind my on-court analysis. Now, as a trainer, I have figured out
how to apply those same concepts to my clients, so that they can become good
error-detectors and solve movement challenges without my feedback, creating
more independent, resourceful people. <br />
<br />
<br />
In my presentation, I will dig into the science of learning, the power of
mistakes, and offer specific applications of intrinsic and extrinsic feedback
systems to help you create clients who are better able to assess and correct
their performances. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For those of you who don’t know me. I’m the proverbial man behind the curtain. David Bluman. I am the founder and CEO of Fitness Education Institute. When I started FEI I was focused solely on connecting the parts of the fitness industry that I felt needed some attention. I have been fortunate that many of my friends and peers in this industry are brilliant educators. I myself still do personal training full time and will occasionally sub for a Group Exercise class. I too am a CEC/CEU provider for ACE and more recently AFAA. </span></div>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There is a disconnection between science and practice, between education and economy and it is and will continue to be my goal to be able to bring the best of the best to the marketplace. This means being able to bring presenters to facilities that may not otherwise have access or the means to go to see these great instructors at an event. Let’s face it. The cost of education, travel, eating out, shopping at trade shows has gotten out of control.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I KNOW that you the fitness professionals are selective at spending your hard earned $ on education. Thus I created FEI. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: yellow; color: #cc0000;">So what is it exactly that I/WE do?</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I find host sites for presenters and find presenters host sites for their courses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can “manage” the “newbie” and help them navigate the waters becoming a presenter and CEC/CEU provider. I can provide mentorship, consulting services, including all business planning, branding, marketing and design services. On some occasions I've managed and provided programming and programs for facilities and individual professionals. If something is out of my specialty I will connect the proper parties. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have the means to ‘HELP’ connect and promote these “smaller venues/facilities” with the presenter via social media, email and FEI’s website. This helps to build course, presenter and brand awareness for all involved. It’s building a Relationship and Synergism.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In some cases a facility wants a certain type of training or a specific presenter so I act as middle man. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In other cases I have the opportunity to teach the FEI branded workshops. Courses I've written or co-written with others.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i style="font-weight: bold;">"I’m often asked what the best exercises are for older adults. I always reply “</i><b><i>best for what?</i></b><i style="font-weight: bold;">”</i> </span> </span></div>

<a href="http://military-fitness.military.com/2014/01/usmc-pullups-and-women.html">T</a>his was re-blogged with permission from my friend Stew Smith. I was having this discussion recently with my good friend Captain Jennifer Sheringham US Army. After learning from Stew and Jennifer during my career and adding in my Kettlebell Spec Ops Courses, my beach bootcamp classes here in Long Beach, NY I had much interest regarding this topic. One of which was this. Is the pull up a necessary tool in the arsenal of a combat soldier? Simply put. Yes. Jen went on to describe potential scenarios where it could be the difference between life and death. You're trapped in a flipped vehicle, need to engage those specific muscle groups to save another life and so on...She also stated after a tour in Iraq "Consider this fact learned in both Iraq and Afghanistan there are no "non-combat" roles any longer. Any base, convoy, patrol or transport can be attacked. You also need to consider that possibility exists in our own country with the growing threat of terrorism." Stew has truly shared the systemic issue in health and obesity in this article. Enjoy the read. Thank you Stew and Jen.<br />

Removing the Flexed Arm Hang and adding Pullups to the women’s fitness standards in the Marine Corps was an upgrade that was carefully considered, studied and implemented with support throughout the chain of command for the past couple of years. However, recent events have forced the USMC to reconsider the start date of the new change. When 55% of the female graduating class at boot camp failed the three pullup minimum, the January 1, 2014 implementation date has been postponed.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Why is this an issue</b>?</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
<span id="more-8602" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
The USMC made this an issue when they decided to make the change. However, this is a society problem that is dropped in the laps of our military each year. This is nothing new. Unfit candidates have been arriving at boot camps, basic training, police and fire academies for decades. From the late 80’s until now, the physical abilities of the average recruit have slowly declined <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">or deteriorated may be a better word for it</i>. Now, the number one reason preventing an 18 year old person from joining the military is they fail to meet the height / weight standards. What happened to the good old days when the biggest obstacle to joining the military was a criminal record or failure to graduate high school?</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
The fact is the United States is overweight and out of shape. The heavier you are, the harder it is to do pullups for both men and women.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Whose problem is this?</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
The military did not create this problem, though the military is forced to deal with it. And, even though 55% of the women recruits fail the new pullup standard, with some practice (usually 4–6 months) they will meet and surpass the minimum standard. Again, this is nothing new. The military had the same issue when they changed from knee pushups to regular pushups for women. Now regular pushups are the standard in military and law enforcement.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
Women and men can do pullups. Women and men can FAIL pullups. This is a societal problem. Men and women have to keep their bodyweight down and practice pullups. This takes time. It is not uncommon for young men and women to take up to six months before they score their first pullup. But the common denominator to passing a pullup test is to practice pullups. The USMC should keep pushing this standard – it will be met eventually.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The pullup and combat debate.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
Many talking heads are now equating the women’s higher failure rate in pullups with a lack of ability to perform in combat. Combat roles should be tougher to enter and have higher fitness standards (for both men and women) because the demands of combat arms / special operations are higher than any fitness test will prove. The minimum physical standard should not be someone’s fitness goal if seeking a combat arms specialty. One day you will rely on your physical ability to save your own life or a fellow Marine in your unit. The reality is that not everyone in the military (men and women) are in combat roles. There are cooks, computer technicians, intelligence specialists, logistics, admin / supply clerks, photographers, and many more non-combat roles that men and women will fill in all branches of the military. The 45% of the women who not only meet the minimum standard but are doing 10+ pullups should have the opportunity to qualify for advanced training .<br />
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">How Do We Address the Combat / Fitness Role?</b><br />
<img alt="size0" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-7790" src="http://military-fitness.military.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/size0-186x128.jpg" height="128" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="186" />For years, advanced fitness tests have been used to prove your mettle in the Special Operations world. For instance, the regular Navy uses the pushups, situps, 1.5 mile run, but the Navy SEALs / EOD / Diver community use the 500yd swim, pullups, pushups, situps, 1.5 mile run JUST to get into the 6–12 month training program — which is the true test. The regular Army has the pushups, situps, 2 mile run, and the Rangers and Special Forces both add pullups, a 5 mile run, and a 12 mile ruck as part of their testing / evaluating of their potential combat troops. The Marines are tough with the regular Marine having to do pullups, crunches, and a 3 mile run. This is by far the hardest regular military fitness test in the United States. Perhaps, it is time to adjust the fitness test to combatant and non-combatant troops. If a Marine (man or women) wants to be in a combat unit, the elevated standards apply – everyone does pullups. If someone is in a non-combatant unit, flexed arm hangs are sufficient for both men and women. One must also remember, just because you can do a pullup does not make you a combat ready troop. The Infantry Schools, SFAS, Q Course, BUD/S, RECON / MARSOC and other combat training programs are the true test. Being able to do pullups will help you with your upper body strength / grip to grab people and equipment, lift yourself and others from A to B, and up and over obstacles. The pullup does not ensure your ability to graduate from these advanced courses of instruction.</div>

<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">How Do We Fix the Fitness Problem?</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="playground" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-8604" src="http://military-fitness.military.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/playground-186x128.jpg" height="128" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" width="186" />If we want to address and fix the bigger problem, we have to get kids to maintain a healthy weight and practice pullups. Whether you are a boy or girl, you should start playing on playgrounds and start building your grip and pullup muscles on the monkey bars. Moms and Dads who watch their kids or coach on youth sports teams – make your team do pullups, pushups, and run regularly. Coaches and gym teachers in physical education class, add the inexpensive exercises of pushups, situps, running, and pullups to your kid’s list of activities and start testing them now!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em; padding: 0px;">
Like men who failed the pullup test, the 55% of the women this article is about failed, not because of an unfair fitness standard increase, but because of lack of preparation and not taking advantage of the resources available to them. Girls should be raised with an expectation that pullups are well within their capabilities. As a society, we have to make fitness and health standards better known so that meeting these standards becomes the norm for men and women.</div>

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am very excited to be part of FEI Eclipse 2013 and offer
my <b style="background-color: #cc0000;">Deep Release for Athletes</b> yoga practice to all of you!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have been in the yoga and fitness industry for almost
twenty years now. I met the CEO of FEI,
David Bluman, twelve years ago when I embarked on a fitness educator
career. We have been comrades ever
since! My yoga and fitness career has
ranged from health and wellness centers and rehabilitation clinics to
International and Domestic conferences to consulting with Olympic Athletes. Currently I teach for Princeton Health Care
Systems, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Princeton</st1:placename>
<st1:placetype w:st="on">University</st1:placetype></st1:place> and my yoga
studio YogaAbove.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="background-color: #cc0000;">The Deep Release for Athletes</b> workshop I am offering is a
perfect compliment for anyone and everyone.
There are parts of the anatomy not touched in a quick stretching routine
and specific areas of the hips and shoulders never touched in a yoga practice. There is always a deep tissue massage to get
into these areas of your anatomy…but who knows your body's inner mechanics
better than you! I have yet to find a
better way to get in sync with your finely tuned machine that creating the
mind and body connection through yoga practice.
Not only does this practice enhance the physical aspects of
performance…the mental aspects bring out the true strength and depth of the
practice. Our breathing represents where

The Short of it is that I am an entrepreneur in the Health and Wellness Industry,
I also have a background as a branding/promos producer, so I still do a lot of
video content production. In fact, I will be launching a production company
next month strictly for the health and wellness industry. If I can answer any
questions regarding Redcord, the Neurac method (short for Neuromuscular
Activation) or anything related to filming content, promos, dvds, I am more
than happy to help out or give some advice. Here is an example of one of the
videos I did for our PT clinic and Redcord brand. Thanks! </span><br />

<br>
Last year, the New York Times published a story which argued that the career of personal training as being the job of the future. It highlighted the fact that there is recent boom in the amount of personal trainers in the industry citing <a href="http://www.bls.gov/ooh/personal-care-and-service/fitness-trainers-and-instructors.htm" target="_blank">statistical growth</a> (link) of close to 44% occurring between 2001 to 2011 (to a total of 231,500).<br>
<br>
On the whole these numbers make for a great statistic given the current <a href="https://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=z1ebjpgk2654c1_&met_y=unemployment_rate&idim=country:US&fdim_y=seasonality:S&dl=en&hl=en&q=current%20unemployment%20rates" target="_blank">unemployment rates</a> (link) of today's economy. But while these numbers demonstrate raw growth, they say nothing about the quality of personal trainers that are coming into the industry. <br>
<br>
What's more - the fact that this article emphasizes that anyone can jump into being a trainer by taking a <a href="http://www.expertrating.com/personal-trainer-certification.asp" target="_blank">simple test online</a> (link) without an education background that shows that there is still this stigma that anyone can be a personal trainer. Retired, or just lose your job? No big deal, go be a personal trainer. It’s super easy and there are little to no educational requirements. I’m sorry but that will not fly with me. <br>
<br>
Admirable as it may be, to say that “many Americans are trying to transform a passion for fitness into a new career;” statements like these are a slap in the face to fitness professionals who have invested time, money to earn a proper education in kinesiology, or exercise science, or related degrees.<br>

<span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Do your knees ever bother you? If you're like me you probably avoid certain exercises because they can cause annoying and nagging soreness during or after your workout. </span><br>

<span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Or if your not like me you might just avoid exercising altogether (also not good). It turns out we're not alone though. Over 36% of all exercise related injuries affect the knee. (Scary)</span><br>

Mainly it’s because I love it which is why I've stayed with this niche group for so long and why I plan on continuing to work with seniors. After all, if you've got to work 40+ hours per week it better be doing something you absolutely love or you are going to plod through life miserable. </div>

If you have been thinking of making the break and specializing in fitness for older adults then maybe this will inspire you to get off your duff and do it already.<br>

<span style="font-size: large;">Making Business Boom</span></h2>
<br>
In 2012 the oldest <a href="http://www.aarp.org/work/working-after-retirement/info-01-2011/poll_spotlights_perceptions_of_boomers.html" target="_blank">baby boomers</a> are turning 67, the youngest by some definitions 48. <br>
<br>
If we think back to the fitness boom and the real birth of the personal training industry in the 1980s and 1990s, it was fueled by boomers in their then 30s and 40s.<br>
<br>
The fitness industry has continued to stay focused on youth, while the mature market that first created demand for it, is now often an afterthought.<br>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br>
</span> <span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><i>So why is the segment of the marketplace that has the greatest need for personal training, and has the most financial resources often overlooked entirely by the fitness industry? And what should one do to tap into this ever growing untapped market?</i></span></div>

Enjoy this short video from a recent KBC Level 1 Exam held recently in NY. <br /><br />It's a great "reminder clip about how learning is <b><u>more</u></b> than rote memorization. Not to diminish the value of memorization, and text based learning. (They are foundational "must-haves"after all!!)<div>
