I CHALLENGE YOU!!!

I challenge all of you to see what you are made of.  To see how fit you can actually get.  I have heard too many people boast about this guy and that guy.  "Oh man!  Did you see how athletic he is?  He is strong as shit!  I couldn't imagine doing that!"  "When I was younger I could do that.  When I was in shape I could do that."  

If you were face to face with your 20 or 25 year old self.  How would you compare?   Better or worse?  Strive to be better.

NEW TRAINING VIDEO FOR ALL!

The following article was written by Scott Christ.  Mr. Christ writes about the psychology of weight loss on his website, The Healthy Eating Guide.

Why do some people seem to lose weight easily while others fail year after year?

While it’s true these may play a small part, there’s something else that has a much larger role.

It’s mindset.

TRAINING TIPS FOR EVERYONE!!!

I read tons of information on health and wellness and am constantly jotting down notes.  What I decided to do with some of that info is basically pass it on to you below.  So read, look, and watch below.  Some of the information might pertain to law enforcement, but it should all be useful to everyone.  Learn something, better yourself, improve in all aspects of your life, and always pass the information on to others.

 

 WORDS OF WISDOM

1. Train your body to work most efficiently in the manner God designed it to.
2. Squatting, running, jumping, pulling, pushing, throwing, and carrying variations SHOULD make up a majority of your training. 
3. If you are going to take the time to workout, spend that time productively!
4. 
5. Have a majority of your workouts mirror what you do or may be called to do on any given day.     
6. It is a must that law enforcement officers be fit!  It breed confidence,  builds mental toughness, and could mean the difference between life and death.
7. Fitness WILL aid in your success and survival, PERIOD.
8. Why does everyone separate cardio and strength training?  Train them together.   There is an increased likelihood that when called upon you will use both at once.
9. Train your weaknesses. Too many people neglect movements or exercises that they are uncomfortable doing or can't do. 
10. Become comfortable being uncomfortable.
11. Become totally fit, not just strong in one aspect of fitness (strength, power, endurance, flexibility, speed, agility).
13. Make sure your training program is balanced so to develop all the aspects of fitness (power, strength, flexibility, speed, endurance, agility, and coordination/balance).
14. Always train with some intensity and variation.  This will lead you to positive physical adaptation, keep things interesting, and fresh.
15. If you need to scale your training down then do so.  Don't rush into movements you can't do properly.
16. Injury proof you body with proper weight training.  It will strengthen muscles, joints, ligaments, and increase bone density. 
17. Prehabilitation.  Don't wait for injuries to occur.  Prevent then.
18. Become a well oiled machine of a human being.
19. Injuries are not an excuse to stop training entirely.  Train the uninjured body parts in a modified manner.  Training WILL promote faster recovery.
20. Training builds mental toughness.
21. Core training is the foundation for all other movements.

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THE FITNESS HUNTER, STEVE MAXWELL!!

While reading through the most recent Mens Health magazine, I came across an article featuring one of the world's top real world, functional, knows what the hell he is talking about, and walks the walk strength and conditioning and everything else trainer, Steve Maxwell.  At over 60 years old, he moves better than all of us!  So what I decided to do was state some of his quotes from the article.   Read, learn, reflect, and take action!!

-The human body is the ultimate fitness machine. It's the only tool you'll ever need to get in incredible shape.
-Strength is a skill influenced by a functional understanding of leverage.
-Increasing mobility is the secret to unlocking greater strength.
-Like most animals, human beings are designed to be mobile - to run, walk, jog, crawl, swim, climb,  throw, jump, and when necessary, fight.  But, the body is very efficient.  It adapts quickly to whatever position or movement pattern it finds itself in most often.
-Aging isn't a cellular process as much as it is a loss of mobility.  Most people have simply forgotten how to move.
-You can't stop aging, but you do have some control over its speed, and if you know what you're doing, you can slow it to a crawl.
