BUST OUT

Welcome everyone...about once every 3 mon. I do drills out of  my regular routine. If you attempt this make sure you warm up with the same motion as the upcoming workout. Here goes...rock climbing. Many places today have indoor climbing. 60 min. Rope climbing. Vertical for 25 ft. Use a tree. Rope walking w/hands. Like an old fashioned monkey bar, which will work also. Using a rope, tie each end to a tree or poles. Make sure your feet don't touch the ground. At least 25 ft. across. 45 min. Tarzan...swing from one tree to another and land on the opposite tree. Next, swinging slow, while swinging bring knees up to your chest as many as you can. 30 min. Last, sprinting on sand for at least 20m. Forward and backwards. 60 min. Expected results...stronger quads and hams. Results expected from other drills...endurance, upper body strength, increased sense of balance, mental alertness, increase in oxygen and lung capacity.

4X4 Direction

Welcome everyone...Test and guts for these drills. Working every muscle. 1) on sand, grass or hardwood floor. Get on hands and knees, on your toes...forward, backwards and side to side. Mix it up. 5 sets, one min. each set, 2) hands on a 2x4, on your toes, push for 5 yds. turn and back. 3x. 5 sets. 3) stand on one foot, hop in 4 directions, 15 sec., change to other foot, 15 sec. 5 sets. 4) kangaroo hops, on 2 feet, forward, backwards and side to side. Hands waist high. These drills will also give you a 6 pak stomach. As always, all drills high impact or low. Once a week. Great results. Jimmy O

REBOUND

Welcome everyone...rebound/comeback...whether from a bitter lose or injury or just didn't give your best...it's about the mindset and guts. All of us have experienced that challenge. Questions... how, what, when. Steps: 1) get away from your routine for 2/3 days. 2) think through your pregame mental process. Were you focused on your event or were you socializing and hamming it up. Did you visualize yourself during the event and how to react at the unexpected. 3) your warm up routine...what was that like. Pre event
warm up should take 60 min. and very disciplined. Take nothing for granted 4) Are you taking notes? Things to do and things not to do in the future. All of this is about you and your success. NEVER
allow yourself to getting used to defeat. Losing is an awful habit. Now, this is a new day. Don't become your worst enemy. Go for it. Jimmy O

What's Your Norm?

Welcome everyone...Trusting and depending on your mind, body and spirit...do you have that trust. Really? What is your minimum/
acceptable performance. What is your max.? In my research over 10 years...7 out of 10 don't know. The 7 are cheating themselves from "peak performance." If you don't want to achieve a peak performance...stop reading, this isn't for you. These writings are for winners and survivors. These writing are for men and women who want to be in the winners circle. My readers are pros, amateurs, beginners and those coming back into fitness. Fitness is about time, distance, measurements, results and passion. But most of all...it's about YOU. Start taking an interest in YOU. Each workout start taking before and after workout...pulse, temp, heartbeat and blood pressure. That takes 60 sec. Next week...rebound. Jimmy O
