I am totally psyched to hear Court speak. We usually spend a good 10-15 minutes talking about nutrition after his work out and I am always blown away by his knowledge base and the simplicity of his explanations. Do not miss this lecture!

How often should one see a fitness person?
That all depends on how fast you want results, how much time you have available during the week, where your current fitness level is, etc. Every one is a little different, however, generally I like to see my clients 2-4 times a week, with an average of 3 times a week.
Sounds too good! Who else is doing this? Nationwide? World Wide?
Anyone who is successful in my business!

Just to name a few.
The sad thing is there are more people who don’t do what I do than do. Really it comes down to information and either a lack there of or no desire to learn more. A lot of certifications require very little in terms of recertifications. Even for the NSCA-CSCS (one of the hardest certs to get and also the most prestigious) you only have to attend one to two seminars per year over 3 years to keep your cert.
What do you know about how menopause affects women and weight gain? The main thing with menopause is a drop in hormone levels and subsequently how different kinds of food affects hormone level. Really the main thing you are trying to control at all times is insulin level when we talk about fat loss. So with that being said, weight loss and muscle building is still possible during and post menopause. You just have to be much more strict with your food choices. How do you incorporate that into a program? Much more strict with the diet and supplementation.
How do I get motivated to do strength training when lifting weights feels so boring to me?
Pick a goal and shoot for it. I encourage my clients to train for something other thn what they really want. A lot of my clients have a performance goal in mind (for instance to do one perfect push up) that they are really striving for. There is a reason why athletes tend to have the body type most people want. If you train for sport, you look pretty good.
What type of cardio is best for weight loss? High Intensity Interval Training. Come to my lecture next time.
What foods should I eat to lose weight? High protein, moderate fat and low processed carbs. Statistically those types of diets have a higher success rate, are the easiest to maintain and are scientifically backed up with the most research supporting them.
Do the shoes I wear make a difference? Absolutely! Just like the tires should fit the season, the shoes should fit the foot and purpose.
What’s the best diet? See above.
If you are an endurance athlete (i.e. training for a half marathon), how do you lose weight? Huh, that is a different question than I’m used to. I would say (with only having the data you supplied me) adjust your diet and eat a few more carbs. I know I know! But endurance runners tend to need a little bit more energy than protein.
What would be a good/typical pre-bed snack? Low fat cottage cheese, protein powder, all natural almond butter or peanut butter and flax seed. If that doesn’t sound appetizing, lean protein and veggies.
How does one do HIIT training safely when overweight? (I’m worried about straining Knees, for example, while running so I generally stick with a slow jog pace). Anything can be HIIT; it all just depends on what you’re capable of. Walking at a 15% incline at 2.5 to 3.5 mph for a minute tends to get a lot of people.
What do you include in the programs you give your clients? All depends on what results they want. Typically: a dynamic warm up, movement prep/activation, pre-hab, core, main exercise and then an interval.
Cardio? If you’re in a weight gain/muscle Dev. Program? Easy walking on a treadmill at a high incline 2-3 times a week for no longer than 30 minutes each session. Make sure you consume some BCAA’s pre/during and post.
What are your thoughts on overtraining? Wouldn’t most athletes in session be overtraining? (Practice 5 days/wk for 3 hours game day sat and then repeat)- Over training is more about undereating than over working. Overtraining can happen any time someone isn’t recovering quickly enough. I also think true overtraining is a very hard state to get into.
Is it better to do HIIT after a resistance workout? The next day would be a little bit better. Although you can do a short 4-10 minute workout at the end of the session.
Explain the window for before and after your workout again? 2hrs. before and after? Typically the window encompasses 30 minutes before the workout to 2 hours after the workout. That is the time when you can lay a good foundation for work (30 minutes pre), start the repair and recovery process as early as during the exercise and finish the workout with key nutrients essential to rapid recovery at a time when your body is starving for those nutrients.
Do you have experience working with people with food addictions? If so, how do you address this issue? I personally do not. However, most people have very fond feelings towards favorite foods. I would suggest seeking professional help.
What can you replace lunges with? I would have to ask why you want to replace them? If it’s because of a pain issue in a joint, then you are probably doing the exercise wrong. Everyone can do a lunge; it is just an exaggerated step.
