Your house will Crumble without a solid foundation.

Have you ever looked at a house and thought about what's holding it up and keeping it from falling? The solid foundation is what holds it all together. Without a solid bodily foundation your house (BODY) will eventually begin to crumble and break down if you do not start by strengthening and stabilizing the 3 most pivotal areas of our bodies first ;Hips, Core, Shoulders. Before anything we focus on strengthening the most vulnerable areas of the body that gets stressed in everyday movements.. A lot of time we use these muscles indirectly not even knowing that we are because it has become common movements. These 3 areas of our body are known as your pillar of strength, adding strength, stability and mobility to these areas will improve your posture and alignment, allowing your joints to move more efficiently.

Success is always rooted in the fundamentals

Train To Perform "Successful performance is always rooted in the fundamentals" Sports performance training can be misunderstood at times, most protocols are to develop the athlete to be big and strong primarily but there's so much more that goes into developing an athlete.

Success is always rooted in the fundamentals, the quality over quality approach quantity wins every time. Training with optimum posture and proper exerc...

Movement Prep (Preparing the athlete to move)

Movement Preparation (Preparing the athlete to move) During Movement Prep the goal is to increase core body temperature, address key mobility and stability demands, and activate the nervous system. It should be done so using movements and speeds specific to the program for the day. Moving from an isolation focus to an movement integration focus, movements will begin simple and slowly move towards more complex patterns at a higher rate of speed. This safely prepares the body physically and mentally for the training followed. 1.( GLUTE Activation) I start by activating the glutes using mini-bands around the knees and/or the ankles. The client will perform one round of movements with the legs completely extended and one round of movements in an athletic base where they are flexed at the hip, knee and ankle.

Many people decide the intensity of their workouts based on what they’re looking to accomplish during training. Some prefer steady state cardio (Aerobic) while others prefer high intensity interval training (Anaerobic), they both yield great cardiovascular results so neither is a wrong way to go. Slow steady state cardio or aerobic activity is when an exercise is performed at one steady pace for an extended period of time, maintaining a pretty leveled intensity level or heartrate. High Intensity Interval training or anaerobic training is a technique that alternates between short intense activity with a maximum recovery period, this technique changes the heartrate expeditiously improving your work to rest ratio (Energy System Capacity) A blend of bot...
