The Underground SGX Show

Episode 23 Show Notes



In this episode learn all about concurrent training and what the research is showing.  Concurrent training means doing your cardio work and strength work at the same time.  Much of the research shows these two types of training interfere with each other.  Learn how to do both but still not see a decrease in performance.

SGX Coach Robin Legat, from Power Jam Fitness, give us a recap of the first Spartan races of the year in SoCal for the Super and Sprint.  Learn what the course is like and what you have in store for 2017.

And finally we have on SGX Coach Nicole Kifer from Platinum Personal Training in our SGX Coaches’s interview.  Nicole’s number one passion is helping others; and more specifically, improving one’s state of mind through fitness. “If you’re not happy, you’re not healthy!” Watching the child obesity epidemic first-hand growing up, she knew this was a way that she could help make a positive impact in many lives. Nicole deals with exercise induced headaches and scoliosis, but she didn’t let that stop her from staying healthy. At 16, her chiropractor recommended weight training to strengthen her back. She immediately hired a personal trainer and got hooked! Since becoming a personal trainer in 2007 she has worked with a wide range of clientele including weight loss clients, weight gain, pre-post pregnancy, athletes, mature adults, disabled, post-injury, post-surgery, and people with eating disorders. Nicole specializes in functional and corrective exercise, as well as obstacle and race preparation and nutrition. “Once you have a strong core and a solid foundation, possibilities are infinite!”

Coach Nicole shares her experience in running a 12 Hour Hurricane Heat.  She gives you an inside look on what you can expect, plus some great training tips and nutrition tips to keep you lasting the whole time.

Also, she explains her favorite grip training exercise routine plus nutrition strategies to help maximize your performance.
