I am enjoying a High Protein Mocha Almond Smoothie from Smoothie King in Atlanta. I love Smoothie King! I think they do a pretty good job with variety and quality of products. I think that IntaJuice may have a healthier product line but I do not see the around too often. It was good regardless…I am wondering if they actually poured coffee into my smoothie? I hope not! It is 8:23 pm and I do not want to be up all night, oh well! I should have asked. I was just too hungry and needed something quick.

I had a pretty good workout. Many of the Double Tree Hotels have deal with Precor and have decent workout facilities. I did my foam rolling and then SMR with the Rollaxer (http://rollaxer.net), static stretching, (corrective exercise) core stability work, balance work, legs and a couple of sets of biceps and triceps. I have trained arms only 3 or 4 times all year (and it shows lol!).

I am in town teaching an Essentials of Personal Training workshop for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM.org) with my buddy Rob Rettmann. We have a good group and are having fun.

I had a couple of good talks with Scott Pullen of NASM and DotFit (http://dotfit.com) and Wendy Batts of NASM and The Health and Fitness Providers Network (http://hfpn.com) and the functionality and our plans for the HFPN site. We look for big things within our prospective networks.

Specifically I was talking with Wendy about a webinar on HFPN sometime before Halloween. I had a few ideas for topics for my A-Teamers…do you have any requests?

Let me know and I might be able to put it together in time, if not I have a few things up my sleeve. I am sitting at Smoothie King right now, they have 3 Macs set up for customers…they are NICE!!! I need to upgrade my lap top soon.

Anyhow..I need to get back to the hotel, I need to put together an email for a Level 2 Kettlebell and Corrective Exercise Workshop that Jen Brickey and I are putting on on 10/24/09 from 9:30 am-1:30 pm at the Manchester Athletic Club on Atwater Ave in Manchester Be The Sea, MA. Only $100!!!! NSCA credits for sure, maybe NASM Let me know if you want to know more about it. We are putting together a Facebook Event and I will put it up on my blog here as well. there have been solid responses to the Level 1 we have put on twice this year, we look forward to Level 2 with some great stuff! Jen will just be back from an RKC event and will be all fired up I am sure.

Hmmm…I just remembered I had a 2 ounce shot of wheat grass…I am a sucker for this place! Do you think wheat grass is a scam? Let me know with a a comment below…Happy Friday!
