The next speaker in the sanctuary was Aaron Gillies, a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with Pair and Marotta Physical Therapy in Bakersfield. Gillies's presentation was titled "Exercise Program Design: More Work in Less Time. Gillies began his talk with the benefits of improved fitness, such as decreased absenteeism, better attitude, improved performance, and improved interpersonal relationships. He also reminded parents that they are the role models for their children, and fighting the childhood obesity epidemic begins with what kids learn at home. Gillies gave tips for ensuring that exercise becomes part of our habits by scheduling workouts in one's calendar, and being prepared for delayed gratification, as it often takes six weeks to notice changes in your body after beginning an exercise program. "We don't want to be on an exercise diet," said Gillies, "We want to make fitness and good nutrition part of who we are."

There should be three aspects to any exercise program; cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, and strength or resistance training. "Think of it like your car, when you drive a long distance you get better fuel efficiency than if you do stop and start driving," explained Gillies, "In this case, fuel is fat, so we don't want to be fuel efficient, we want to burn as much as possible."
