New exercise shoe, what they do, how the work and how to use

2009-06-21T15:02:00.000-07:00

Hello Atlanta Fitness and Health Group I have found a very cool shoe: the shape up shoe, Here's how to get the most out of the Shape Up Shoes: full article on http://www.shapeupshoes.com

Walk on the soft, flat platform under the front two-thirds of the shoe (focus on the flat part under the ball of your foot). Your heel will naturally come close to the floor, but do not put your weight into your heel. Stride normally into your next step.

When Standing:
Focus on the flat part of your Shape Up Shoes under the ball of your foot. Try not to put your weight in your toes or your heels. You want to keep your foot parallel to the ground just as if you were standing barefooted. It is ok however to rest on your heels for a good stretch or rock to your toes to engage your quads. 90% of the time you should concentrate on the true challenge, which is staying focused on the flat part of your Shape Up Shoes, under the ball of your foot, while keeping your toes pointing forward.
How They Work

When worn for at least 30 minutes a day, Shape Up Shoes are an effective fitness and weight-loss tool that allow you to tone and shape your body and shed unwanted pounds. Wearing the shoes while active encourages improved posture, a toned inner core and fantastically fit legs, abs and glutes.

The calorie-burning rate when wearing the sandal style is three times that of wearing ordinary shoes and two times that of wearing the boots and clogs.

Staying balanced while wearing the shoes requires the use of muscles not used otherwise in the legs, abs and glutes. These muscles are thus strengthened and toned significantly. The motion when walking is similar to that of balancing on a BOSU board in combination with using a Stairmaster.

The deep vein pumping action that occurs with every step taken can significantly reduce the onset of varicose and spider veins. Wearing the shoes can also diminish existing cellulite and prevent it from developing, and help ease lower back pain due to spinal compression, swelling in the arms and legs, and the discomfort of plantar fasciitis.

Shape Up Shoes work when you wear them for at least 30 minutes a day; it's as simple as that!

Benefits
- Increase leg strength.
- Lengthen muscles.
- Help prevent injury.
- Ease pain from plantar fasciitis naturally.
- Greatly improve circulation in the legs and feet, reducing swelling.
- Cut exercise time in half.
- Help you burn calories and lose weight (with proper diet).
- Improve posture and lessen low back pain naturally.
- Greatly improve balance and inner core strength, improving back health.
- Create healthy looking lower extremities.
- Exercise your lower body while you are doing everyday activities.

hope this helps and you enjoy! take care

Health Insurance for the self employed, For Fitness pro's like me

2008-12-27T15:54:00.000-08:00

Hello Atlanta fitness group, Normally I talk about fitness and tennis, this article is more about taking care of yourself and your money when it comes to your health insurance. Especially for self employed people like me health and fitness and tennis pro"s can be difficult to find health insurance. My Friend and now my Health insurance person has some things to think about when buying health inusurance. When individuals go shopping for health insurance, it’s important that they realize they can have more buying power when they get a plan that is customized to their needs and budget. For example, coverage requirements for individuals and families can differ significantly from those of a small business or someone who is self-employed. It’s also important for consumers to consider that personalized health insurance doesn't just help you stay healthy – it can also help protect you financially That’s why I offer both Basic Coverage and Catastrophic Coverage plans –each with a wide range of benefit options. I help my clients identify and assess their needs and create a personalized plan that fits them. If you have questions about insurance coverage or would like a health insurance quote, please call Diana Luykx at (404) 915-9595.

Good Habits for Life: working out and life style tips

2008-05-30T10:59:00.000-07:00

Hello Atlanta Health and Life Style people. This Article compliments of: Family Chiropractic of Decatur and Dr. Jim Heinz, 2545 Lawrenceville Hwy, Suite 100 ,Decatur, GA 30033, Phone: 404-373-3377. http://www.drjimheinz.com

There are three things that have to happen to successfully change a habit. The first is that you must make the decision to change. When you make a decision, you are affirming to yourself that you are willing to go to any lengths to make your wishes come true. This means that you will need to completely eliminate the word “try” from your vocabulary. When you say “I’ll try to do my exercises,”Hopefully with Fitness with Jeff Atlanta, you are leaving an open door to not doing them. Then in your mind, if you don’t do your exercises, that’s okay because you only said you would ”try” to do them. If you want to successfully change your habits to live a healthier life, you cannot leave an open door to your old habits. You need to just do it, just make a decision and not look back.

The second thing is to act “as if.” Whenever you change what you are doing, it will feel unnatural. It may feel like you are doing something wrong, funny, or something that is just not you. In a way you are right. When you change a habit, you are by definition acting in a way that is ‘just not you.’ But in a very short time, it will feel normal and it will seem strange that you ever acted any different. Changing habits is like starting a new job, the first couple of weeks are stressful and disorienting, but if you just hang in there, you will feel at home before you know it.

The third is to work on yourself every day. The highest demonstration of a healthy and growing self-image and self-esteem is the commitment to work on yourself each and every day. You experience an elevated consciousness when you realize your power to step up to your greatness or default to your weakness with every challenge, distraction and decision. Working on yourself with consistency and persistence connects you to your inner wisdom and inner strength to become unstoppable.

Is it a good idea to diet while working out, thoughts and strategy's

2008-05-16T08:38:00.000-07:00

The answer to this question is actually multi-faceted. And here it is: yes and no, and maybe. The truth is, many people can effectively lose weight initially simply by reducing their daily calorie count. And cutting calories may allow an individual to continually lose weight for weeks or months until a desired weight level is reached.
For me in my persoanl training practice here in atlanta is really better to exercise more and eat smart, More veggies, less cookies, chips and soda.

But, for many individual's, particularly those whose weight loss goals border on the ambitious, cutting food intake and daily calories may not be enough to rearch a desired goal.

This is because the body has a very annoying habit of adusting its metabolism to match energy expenditure against energy intake. In other words, if you eat less, your metabolism may slow down. On a very basic level, this allows human beings to survive longer when food resources are scarce. However, in a modern world that includes dieting, this fact of human biology can significantly impair one's ability to shed pounds.

For this reason, many, if not most, dieters will find it beneficial to integrate a regimen of physical activity into their overall dieting plan. In doing so, they can establish a more optimal environment for weight loss by creating a daily need for additional calories by exercising ie wieght training, running, tennis etc, while actually consuming more calories.

Raquet ball rules and customes, raquet sports Atlanta

2008-04-16T17:28:00.000-07:00

Hello Atlanta Tennis and Fitness group, I have started to do some playing racquetball with my clients, Here are the basic Rules of raquet ball. Great do when the weather is bad or you just need a change from tennis or hitting the gym.
The serve is started from any place within the service zone, with the exception of certain drive serves (see "Drive Service Zones" below). Stepping on, but not over, the lines is permitted. The server may not step over the short line until the ball passes the short line.
MANNER
The player begins the service motion with any continuous movement which results in the ball being served. The ball must be bounced and hit before it bounces twice.
DRIVE SERVICE ZONES
The drive serve lines are three feet from each side wall in the service box. The player may drive serve between the body and the nearest side wall only if the player starts and remains outside of the 3-foot drive service zone, and the racquet does not break the plane of the zone while making contact with the ball. The drive serve zones aren't observed for crosscourt drive serves, the hard-Z, soft-Z, lob or half-lob serves.
POINTS AND OUTS
Points are scored only by the serving side. Losing the serve is called a sideout in singles. In doubles, when the first server loses the serve it is called a "hand-out" or "half-out" and when the second server loses the serve it is then a sideout.
MATCH, GAME & TIEBREAKER
A match is won by the first side winning two games. The first two games of a match are played to 15 points. If each side wins one game, a tiebreaker game is played to 11 points. It is NOT required that a player "win by two" points.

Cardio workout strategy's and workout tip

2008-03-14T19:53:00.000-07:00

Along with a good solid weight training program, Perform Cardio For A Minimum Of 20 Minutes And A Maxiumum Of 45 Minutes.
More is not better when it comes to cardio. Most of you will benefit from 3 sessions of 20-30 minutes. Never go above 45 minutes at a time when doing cardio as after 45 minutes the catabolic hormone cortisol will increase and you will risk losing muscle tissue and protecting fat!, Only competitive bodybuilders may find themselves doing as much as 45 minutes twice a day before a show but that amount is kept for very short periods of time. For the less advanced walking can be substituted for jogging and running.

Atlanta Gyms and workout centers, thoughts and insights from the Atlanta personal trainer

2008-02-01T15:15:00.000-08:00

The city of Atlanta has many great choices for working out and physcal training, of course you have the Chains, Bally's Total Fitness, Crunch Fitness and LA Fitness. These offer multiple locations for convenience both around town and across the country, make sure the plan you pick offer the opportunity to use other clubs. Sometimes you'll have to pay extra, you have to way out if you'll travel enough to make up the cost worthwhile. In my experience if you tell them your a member just at another club sometimes they'll let you work out for free, others charge $5 to $10. Another advantage of a larger chain club is that unusually you'll have the best and most state of the art equipment. Larger clubs will unusually offer more programs because of there size and may even have better hours.Some clubs even have deals with local merchants for things like discounts on meals and travel, check with the club to find out.
Atlanta also has many smaller non chain health clubs such as Urban Body fitness, Jeans Body Tech and the Boot Camp Gym at Ansley mall. These clubs will tend to give more individualized attention and the staffs tend to stay around longer. One other advantage is that you can unusually get to the owner or decision maker more quickly if you have a problem.One other advantage of a non chain fitness center is certain programs, non of the Chains offer tennis, were as clubs like Northease Athletic Club or the Concourse Athletic Club offer not only tennis but also things like tennis instruction, Cardio tennis, tennis round robins etc.
One tip I always recommend no matter what rout you pick is to get a week or two pass to check the club out at various times of the day, just to check and make sure that it will work with your needs. One other tip I would recommend is bill your membership to your credit card and not your debit card for 2 reasons, I find that if you need to cancel or end your membership if they bill you for additional time, I've had better luck dealing with credit card company's in a dispute then with the bank. Also on a credit card alot of times you can if your in a program like American Express can mile on your card.
I will doing tips on a on going basis to help you get the most out of Gym experience.

Physcal Exercise to manage your conditions, exercise to health

2007-10-20T10:58:00.000-07:00

Hello Atlanta Personal training and life style group, found this article out on http://www.webmd.com, very good article, hope you enjoy and keep working out. Fitness with jeff Atlanta. http://www.fitnesswithjeff.com

Managing Your Condition With Exercise
Get Motivated to Exercise
By Kathleen M. Zelman, MPH, RD, LD
WebMD FeatureReviewed by Kathleen M. Zelman, MPH, RD, LD, MDNeed a reason to work out? Here are 7 to start
What if someone told you that a thinner, healthier, and longer life was within your grasp? Sound too good to be true? According to a wealth of research, exercise is the silver bullet for a better quality of life.

Not only does regular exercise aid in weight loss, it reduces your risk for several chronic diseases and conditions. Finding activities that you enjoy and that become part of your daily routine is the key to a long and healthy life.

The list of health benefits is impressive, and the requirements are relatively simple -- just do it.

Ward Off Disease
Research has confirmed that any amount of exercise, at any age, is beneficial. And, in general, the more you do, the greater the benefits. The National Academy of Sciences has recommended that everyone strive for a total of an hour per day of physical activity. Sounds like a lot, but the hour can be made up of several shorter bursts of activity (it can be walking, gardening, even heavy housecleaning) done throughout the day.

Physical activity is an essential part of any weight-loss program, to maximize your fat loss while keeping valuable muscle mass. But exercise has many other health and longevity benefits. It can help prevent or improve these conditions:

1. Heart Disease. Regular activity strengthens your heart muscle; lowers blood pressure; increases "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins or HDLs) and lowers "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoproteins or LDLs); enhances blood flow; and helps your heart function more efficiently. All of these benefits reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

Researchers at Duke University suggest that the amount of physical activity, rather than its intensity, has the biggest impact on improving blood lipids (cholesterol). According to The New England Journal of Medicine, these researchers also found that any exercise is better than none -- although more is better.

2. Stroke. In an analysis of 23 studies, researchers found that being active reduces your risk of having and dying from a stroke. According to a study published in the journal Stroke, moderately active study participants had 20% less risk of stroke than less active participants.

3. Type II Diabetes. This disease is increasing at alarming rates -- by 62% since 1990 -- and 17 million Americans now have it. Physical activity can enhance weight loss and help prevent and/or control this condition. Losing weight can increase insulin sensitivity, improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and reduce blood pressure -- all of which are very important to the health of people with diabetes.

In a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, Frank Hu, MD, of the Harvard School of Public Health found that a brisk walk for one hour daily could reduce the risk of type II diabetes by 34%.

4. Obesity. Overweight and obese conditions can be prevented or treated with exercise along with a healthy diet. Activity helps to reduce body fat and increase muscle mass, thus improving your body's ability to burn calories. The combination of reduced calories and daily exercise is the ticket to weight loss. And controlling obesity is critical, as it is a major risk factor for many diseases. Lowering your body mass index (BMI) is a sure way to reduce your risk of dying early and to live a healthier life.

Target heart Calculation

2007-03-02T18:16:00.000-08:00

Recommended Heart Rate Range
The basic calculation is done this way:
• 220 - the person's age = a person's maximum acceptable heart rate
• The player's ideal cardio tennis workout zone is 65 to 85 percent of this
number
Please note: any player who is recovering from major surgery or is not in shape at all may want to set their aerobic range at levels at least 10% lower than the norm or 55 to 75 percent of their maximum heart rate.

Get a kick out of Atlanta Kickball

2007-01-04T18:55:00.000-08:00

My tennis clients rave about Atlanta Kickball league
By Jeff Michaud
I recommend that my clients do a whole rage of physcal activity in addition to playing tennis and working out, one event that we remember from our childhoods is the classic sport of kickball. GOkickball is “Atlanta´s Premiere Social Experience” - a social co-ed kickball league in the Atlanta, GA area. The games are held at Shady Valley on Saturdays between 1-6p. The address is 2720 Shady Valley Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 ,(404) 799-8480 The league is centered around having a good time, meeting new people and playing recreational games of kickball. If you haven´t played kickball since the 4th grade or if you are a seasoned veteran, this league is for you. Beginners, experts and everyone in-between are more than welcome to join - our only requirement is that you be 21 years old or older.Each team will play 8 regular season games, each lasting 7 innings and approximately 45 minutes. All teams will also play in the end of the season tournament, with the winning team getting bragging rights and the coveted GOkickball “Friedman Cup”. Teams are encouraged to hang out before and after their games to meet other teams, “kickgate” (which is our version of tailgating) and socialize. After the games are over, we´ll head to a local bar/restaurant to continue the celebration. www.gokickball.com

GOkickball Features:· Co-ed Teams, must be 21 to play · 7 inning games · 8 Regular Season Games plus Tournament · $49 (USD) League fee covers all expenses · Fun, social environment - league parties and other social events · Experienced referees are provided for each game · All equipment is provided - even Team T-Shirts for you to keep! · GOkickball Card allows members to receive discounts at retailers and shops around the city,

Super sets for your workout, fitness tip

2006-11-28T19:57:00.000-08:00

Super sets for your workout, fitness tip
Start with a certain exercise, for instance inclined dumbbell bench press but this will work for most other exercises, remember to consult a fitness and or a health professional before starting any workout program, also good to train with a buddy or a fitness pro until you have the program down.
Start out with 12 reps with relatively lightweight, with a intensity of between 6-8
Step the weight up for the next set and do 10 reps, with an intensity of between 7-8
Step the weight up for the next set and do 8 reps, with an intensity of between 7-9Step the weight up for the next set and do 6 reps, with an intensity of between 7-10, published by www.fitnesswithjeff.com

Work out tip, Workout regiment what to do on each day

2006-11-28T19:15:00.000-08:00

Work out tip
Workout regiment:
The government standard is to do aerobic activity 5-7 to days a week for 30-40 minutesWeight barring activity every other day for a overall body workout or again 5, 6 days a week if your doing targeted body parts, for example: legs and back or chest and arms, or just arms or just legs, you should consult a doctor and or a fitness professional in order to build the proper routine.

Tennis Serve: Tips and tricks of the proper tennis serve

2006-11-28T18:37:00.000-08:00

Tennis Serve: Tips and tricks of the proper serve
Stand side on to the court, hold the ball between thumb and first two finger tips and toss the ball a little higher then the high point that you can hold your racquet up to. On the toss I tell my clients to picture the your self as the Statue on Liberty and toss the ball at the highest point that you can hold up your toss hand up to and release the ball like you might let go of a small bird.
One thing to watch out for is not to stretch to far and simply toss the ball about 8-10 inches in front of your front foot. For the Right handed tennis player picture a giant clock in the sky and toss the ball at 1:00 or off the right post for both the Duce or the AD side of the court. For the lefty tennis player just the opposite, toss the ball at left post or at a giant clock, this time 11:00. I like to finish my tennis server like a Football quarterback where again for the Righty the right foot should follow the right arm over finishing into the tennis court.

Peidmont Tennis Center Midtown Atlanta 404.853.3461Tennis instruction and Alta Leagues, not sure if there doing a round robin right now.

All a person has to do is call the numbers above and check and see if the round robin doubles matches are happening and they will take your reservation. They will ask for your level of play, if not sure just tell the person what you can do and they will plug you into the appropriate slot in the latter. Generally a expert player is a double AA player and a player just starting out would be a C level player.

Personal Trainer, what to look for when choosing a fitness trainer

2006-01-16T19:26:00.000-08:00

Things to think about when looking for a personal Trainer, fitness coach. There are several things that you should do when shopping for a personal trainer. First ask if they are certified by a Nationally recognized body, I'm certified by AMFPT(American Fitness Personal Trainer) and when you meet, don't be afraid to ask to check credentials, really the instructor should show without having to be asked. Other Nationally recognized certification bodies are ACE, ISSA, NCSF, NCCA, NAFC.You will want to have a meeting, this can either be done over the phone or in person. Trust your gut reaction to the conversation. The potential trainer should ask for your goals and be able to readily give a strategy for working on your goals. Also a good idea is ask if this is there full time job or just a side line. How long have they been practicing, where do they train, will they come to you. What is the persons background, sports and other recreational activities. For instance in my Case the other part of what I do is Teach Tennis, and am certified by the USPTA.Does the person work with me like you or do they specialize in something special.Hope this Blog will give you something to think about when looking to choose a personal Trainer.

Great personal training gyms in Atlanta Georgia

2006-01-16T16:26:00.000-08:00

The city of Atlanta has many great choices for working out, of course you have the Chains, Bally's Total Fitness, Crunch Fitness and LA Fitness. These offer multiple locations for convenience both around town and across the country, make sure the plan you pick offer the opportunity to use other clubs. Sometimes you'll have to pay extra, you have to way out if you'll travel enough to make up the cost worthwhile. In my experience if you tell them your a member just at another club sometimes they'll let you work out for free, others charge $5 to $10. Another advantage of a larger chain club is that unusually you'll have the best and most state of the art equipment. Larger clubs will unusually offer more programs because of there size and may even have better hours.Some clubs even have deals with local merchants for things like discounts on meals and travel, check with the club to find out.
Atlanta also has many smaller non chain health clubs such as Urban Body fitness, Jeans Body Tech and the Boot Camp Gym at Ansley mall. These clubs will tend to give more individualized attention and the staffs tend to stay around longer. One other advantage is that you can unusually get to the owner or decision maker more quickly if you have a problem.One other advantage of a non chain fitness center is certain programs, non of the Chains offer tennis, were as clubs like Northease Athletic Club or the Concourse Athletic Club offer not only tennis but also things like tennis instruction, Cardio tennis, tennis round robins etc.
One tip I always recommend no matter what rout you pick is to get a week or two pass to check the club out at various times of the day, just to check and make sure that it will work with your needs. One other tip I would recommend is bill your membership to your credit card and not your debit card for 2 reasons, I find that if you need to cancel or end your membership if they bill you for additional time, I've had better luck dealing with credit card company's in a dispute then with the bank. Also on a credit card alot of times you can if your in a program like American Express can mile on your card.
I will doing tips on a on going basis to help you get the most out of Gym experience.

Holiday Fitness Tip, Holiday Shape up

2005-11-25T08:22:00.000-08:00

Holiday Fitness Tip, Holiday Shape up

During the holiday season it is doubly important to stay on your exercise and dietary program.
The key is to make the time to do your workout. One option is you have a problem getting to the gym on a regular basis is to do your work out in the morning before work. Waiting to do your work out later in the day, all matter of things can happen that will cause you not to be able to workout.
The optimal time for a work out is about 45 minutes, beyond that most people tend to waist time. It is best to keep the workout quick and fun.
I recommend doing weight baring exercise every other day and aerobic activity almost ever day. The key to developing the program is to start up slow and build up slowly to the above mentioned info. Remember before starting any program you should consult with your doctor especially if you have a medical history or illness.

Tennis Ball Machines, Why I like them.

2005-11-21T12:58:00.000-08:00

Hitting with a ball machine can really help to improve your game. I purchased the Tennis Tutor in Atlanta GA, because of capabilities and the cost. The advantage of hitting off a ball machine is that you can get consistant shots to hit everytime, backhand or forehands. The one downside with the lower cost machines is that they don't do a good job on overheads or return of serve, but if you willing to pay a little more you can go these machines to do a pretty good job of that as well. This why alot of the the tennis academeis use them. The other obvious advantage that if you don't have someone to hit with you can still hit and work on your game. I use my machine in my tennis instruction classes, and my students really enjoy it. Other top manufactures are Jugs and Penn. I really love my machine alot, just wish I had bought it earlier. http://www.fitnesswithjeff.com

Baseball, Softball strength and conditioning training

2005-11-10T07:18:00.000-08:00

Baseball Strength Training and Softball Strength Training, Baseball Training and Softball Training
There are several goals for baseball strength training and softball strength training. You don’t want to train like a football player, so you don’t want to do high weights with low numbers of repetitions. For baseball and softball players you want to keep quickness and speed in order to be a well rounded player.
For baseball training and softball training you want a larger amount of repetitions, usually between 12 and 18. This especially goes for the youth player who is 9 to 16 years of age. This is a critically important time with young people and their physical development.
Flexibility is very important to avoid injury, which is why I start out with stretching in my baseball strength training sessions. The stretching in my sessions lasts about 5-10 minutes. Next I would go into doing core work to strengthen the abdominal muscles. I start with regular sit-ups for 15 reps, followed by 40 reps of bicycles, then side crunches for another 40 reps. This is followed by alternating leg lifts for 30 reps, then back to side crunches on the opposite side from the first set. From there we go into doing shoulder stretches, doing shoulder circles, front wise for 20 reps, reversing the motion for 20 reps.
I’m a big believer in working the shoulders pretty hard for baseball strength training, obviously because of the amount of throwing that is done in the game. The dominant muscle group is the deltoids, which is the muscle on the top of the shoulder, which helps to keep the whole arm in alignment.
I like to start off with dumbbell shoulder front raises. From there I do such exercises as lunges with bicep curls, Next I would do a set of reverse triceps extensions, and a set of fairly light weight squats. I do 20 reps of squats with say 10 pound dumbbells. Then after completing the first set, you drop the weight and do 15 to 20 reps with just your body weight

Apples for fitness for personal training

2005-11-08T20:12:00.000-08:00

APPLES REALLY ARE GOOD FOR YOU I’ve been preaching the gospel of the apple to my clients at Fitness with Jeff for years.
Eating fresh apples is always good for you, but to get the full nutritional benefits associated with eating apples you should eat at least one fresh apple every day. The average U.S. consumer eats about 19 pounds of fresh apples a year — about one apple per week.
WHOLE-BODY HEALTH BENEFITSLower blood cholesterol, improved bowel function, reduced risk of stroke, prostate cancer, type II diabetes and asthma.The disease-fighting profile of apples provides a multitude of health benefits, including a potential decreased risk of cancer and heart disease. Several recent studies suggest apples may provide a "whole-body" health benefit.
A number of components in apples, most notably fiber and phytonutrients have been found in studies to lower blood cholesterol and improve bowel function, and may be associated with a reduced risk of ischemic heart disease, stroke, prostate cancer, type II diabetes and asthma. Preliminary research from Finland indicates diets with the highest intake of apple phytonutrients were associated with a 46 percent reduction in the incidence of lung cancer. Findings indicate that two apples a day or 12 ounces of 100% apple juice reduced the damaging effects of the “bad” LDL cholesterol.The moral of the story: an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Learning to play tennis in Atlanta

Learning to play Tennis in Atlanta, a testiomonial
Learning Tennis with My Friend Jeff Michaud

by Ed Hill

I like Tennis better than Golf because it's a faster paced game and more physically demanding. I haven't played Tennis since my days at Florida State University. So I took lessons to gain some skills. In the course of my training I learned some valuable lessons about tennis coaches. Hiring a tennis coach is like hiring a web marketing consultant, some coaches are good and some coaches are not so good. http://fitnesswithjeff.com/

I signed up for 4 weeks of lessons at a north Atlanta tennis park. They kept changing coaches. One of the coaches did not explain why or how the Tennis forehand and backhand worked, so I could not improve my Tennis skills.

The third week my friend Jeff Michaud, who is a fitness and tennis coach, helped me work on my Tennis technique. The improvement in my skills was immmediate.

So what made the difference? Here is a valuable lesson that also applies to the web marketing consulting that I do.

The crucial difference is the way that my friend and tennis coach, Jeff Michaud, approached learning Tennis. First, Jeff listened to me, when I explained the specific skills that I wanted to improve. For a marketing consultant the first step is to listen to the problems that a business owner is suffering. Business owners are usually very knowledgable about their customers and their products.

In Tennis, I needed to focus on the basics, forehand, backhand, volley and the serve.
In any sport, learning and mastering the basics through practice is crucial to doing well.

Second, Jeff's method of teaching was very effective. Jeff broke down the moves in each Tennis stroke into small manageable parts. Even the most basic Tennis forehand stroke, requires you to start with your side facing the net. It also helps to hold the tennis racket correctly. Once your posture and grip are correct, the complex moves that follow require coordinating the movements of the arm, shoulders, legs and hips to deliver the most power to the ball.

My previous coaches never broke the Tennis moves down into smaller parts that I could understand. They tried to teach the whole Tennis forehand as a complete package, so I learned very little.

The corresponding idea in marketing consulting is to break the business marketing problem down into smaller manageable parts that the business owner can handle.

I have to thank my friend Jeff for helping me become a better Tennis player. It all comes down to breaking the skills down into parts that the student can understand. If you like you can check out Jeff's Fitness with Jeff web site at http://www.fitnesswithjeff.com/. > www.fitnesswithjeff.com
