All About Fitness is back from a brief hiatus with a little twist, before returning to our interview format, we’re going to do a book-on-tape; specifically my first book, Smarter Workouts: The Science of Exercise Made Simple.  In this series, I will be reading from the book and providing commentary on how to apply the information to your own workouts. If you have a copy of Smarter Workouts, you can follow along and take notes. In a 20 year career as a fitness educator, I have worked with national certifications and equipment companies to educate thousands of personal trainers all over the world; by listening to this series and learning the information in Smarter Workouts, you too will have the same foundation of knowledge as a certified personal trainer (no, you will not be certified as a personal trainer, but you will know enough to become one). The series starts where all should, at the beginning; this episode is the introduction of Smarter Workouts which identifies common exercise mistakes that you are probably making and what you can expect to learn from the book.
