Just got back from the Chicago Perform Better Summit. This was the biggest Chicago summit attendance ever – over 500 attendees!
If you weren’t there, make sure you get to the last summit of 2010- Long Beach, CA. The PB team are quite honestly the single best educational events in the fitness profession right now.
The non-presentation highlights for me include watching the USA-Ghana game with Lee Burton, Bill Hartman, Mike Robertson and Rachel in downtown Chicago and then having to race back to McCormick place for a panel Q&A, just after the USA had lost (with a cab driver from Ghana!). And Sunday morning was crazy -Watching Germany – England in the hotel bar and relaying the scores to my friend Mark Verstegen (responsible for the fitness prep for the German team), who was presenting next door!!
As promised here is the workout that I taught at the hands-on session on Friday morning. This is based on the actual semi-private sessions we do at Results Fitness
