STAY AWAY

Hello everyone...in my experienced opinion, the following list is what I advise clients to avoid. Some drills are downright hurtful vs. helpful. Sad to say, some drills assigned to clients, act as a babysitter. ie treadmill. "run for 20 min. and I'll be back to check on you." Stay away...1) treadmills are dangerous to your knees. You don't have to push off, just raise your feet. Even if you run on an incline. Run on a track, grass or sand. Oh, I know, "what about marathons?" That's the plus minus rule. 2) Sit ups/crunches...drill just pushes the fat around. The key...TIGHTEN the core muscles. In a previous writing, I illustrated how. 3) Not doing stretching prior to workout...nonsense. Do stretching prior and after your scheduled drills...but stretch in the same fashion as your intended workout. 4) Same routine every workout...disaster. Result...tired muscles, back ache, mental strain, boredom and finally...quit. Then, that fatal question...now what. Jimmy O
