My Las Vegas Personal Training will have to take a break this week, as I will be out of town.  Oh Yeah.  Happy August to all you fitness freaks out there!  You know what?  Happy August to all you who aren’t fitness freaks too!  I am really excited for this week, as it is a HUGE one for me.  In a few days, I will be off to Los Angeles with that one personal trainer, Emily Bussey, and we will be attending a very, very large fitness convention.  It’s called the IDEA World Fitness Convention.  Basically what happens at the convention is a lot like school.  For 10 hours a day, we are in random classes, seminars and workouts.  Now, this doesn’t sound like much fun to the average human being, but for me, it’s heaven.  I am a self proclaimed fitness nerd.  I’ll admit it, and I’m not ashamed of it.  At least it’s not like I’m obsessed with Harry Potter, or Twilight, or Jason Derulo or something.  I am obsessed with something that actually matters, and isn’t make believe.  Anyway, just wanted to let you know some of the things I will be learning at the conference.  Here are the titles of some of the classes/seminars I will be attending.

And that isn’t half of my classes.  Emily and I will be coming back from this convention with tons of new knowledge and exercises to challenge all of you.  Hopefully at the end of this week, I will learn how to record and put on a weekly fitness podcast just talking about the emails I receive with questions regarding working out and fat loss.  This is something I have been waiting all year for, so I don’t think it will disappoint.  We’ll be back Sunday with some new fitness tips for you all to try!
