Join host Amy Jo Macgowan and her entertaining guests as they explore your passion & your career as a Group Fitness and Exercise Instructor.
I had the chance to sit down in Jamaica and talk with David Mesirow about his new product launch, Beaming. (It was definitely my favorite interview atmosphere!) David wanted to present the fitness industry with something new and exciting, but also “all encompassing”. Beaming takes into account all aspects of health and is done barefoot, in a dark room, with candles and soft music. David describes not only the theory behind Beaming, but how and why he came up with the concept. Enjoy!

It's not as easy as it looks!
Wouldn’t it be fun to invent the latest and coolest fitness tool? I interviewed Sandy Bonacina from Zurich, Switzerland, who did just that! Sandy invented the T-BOW® and we talk about what inspired her to invent the T-BOW, and all the cool ways it can be used in group and personal settings.
A big thank you to Natalie, a listener from Australia, who asked me to do an episode on the T-BOW. This post has a video showing the T-Bow in use in a group fitness class.
After our interview, Sandy offered to send me a T-BOW to try, along with her instructional videos. I will post a video of me playing around.soon. Should be entertaining!

It’s just hard to even imagine…us, get injured? We, the instructor? No, it can’t happen! We don’t feel pain, let alone do anything that would hurt us. (We only inflict pain, right?) I first met Chris Freytag in an article she wrote for ACE Certified News about injury prevention and recovery. She had just hurt her hamstring and wrote about it with humor and humility. I laughed out loud as I read the article because I was icing my own hamstring as I read it. Chris is a busy girl (visit her website, www.chrisfreytag.com) and I had a great time meeting her in person and talking with her about how we can prevent injuring ourselves and what to do if we still “pull a little something”.
