Is Doing Abs a Waste of Time?
I can’t even tell you how often I hear someone at the end of the workout say something like “I need to do more abs, I want to get a six-pack.” The truth is that passing on a six-pack is a better way to get a six-pack than six hundred sit-ups. The key to abdominal definition is the visibility of the abdominal musculature, not the strength... »
Speed Training – Doing it Right
Whether you are an athlete in training or an "amateur" who enjoys working out and pushing the envelope, you might very well want to look into "upping" your training - bringing it to the next level through speed training. Although you have probably heard these words brandied around, it is quite surprising to see how many people actually have no real... »
Discover Who You REALLY Are
It seems as though being healthy and fit is something we hear about everywhere. There is no arguing the fact that health and fitness are subjects that are on many people's minds. Of course, this does not mean that we are all following the healthy guidelines that have been set out for us. While many of us would just love... »
Football Training Can Help You FIND That Edge
Football season seems to come around very quickly, each year, and whether you are a pro or simply like to "throw the ball around" with friends in a weekly Sunday game - getting in shape BEFORE the season starts is the only way you will stay healthy throughout the season, but it is also the only way you can make... »
Interval Training- HIIT or Miss?
I think every fat loss article we read espouses the value of interval training for fat loss. In fact the term HIIT ( for High Intensity Interval Training) is thrown around so much that many people just assume they know what it is. However among all the recommendations I see to perform HIIT, very few articles contain any practical information... »

Of course, the nutrition side of the equation is extremely important, however, the second facet - the movement/exercise aspect can also, arguably, be considered as important and vital, towards our... »

Functional Training is not a Fad…
Many of us, no doubt, remember the "good old days" when working out or training simply meant doing some stretches, some weight training and maybe a little bit of cardio on the stationary bike or rowing machine. Now, thanks to the media and a renewed interest in health and fitness, we have had the opportunity to discover all kinds of new... »
Being a Well Rounded Athlete Means Adding to Your Training Sessions
Sure, walking on the treadmill a few times a week can be fun and, for some of us, is actually a huge step in the right direction. Unfortunately, while some people seem to have been born athletic, others have to struggle to get themselves to the gym on a regular basis. If you are lucky enough to be someone who adores... »
Movement Based Training
When we think of training (strength, speed, etc.) we think of weight training and running sprints but do we ever think of movement based training. Most coaches train their athletes on a linear level not knowing that athletes use all planes of motion in a chaotic enviornment on the field or court. The most obvious plane of movement is the... »
