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.
