Rope a Dope

Welcome everyone and lets go...remember those words from Ali. Lets add bungee cord. This is out of the realm of most. Why? We have a comfort zone. Work the rope for 2 min. rest for 30 sec. 3 sets to start. Your entire body will awaken. Especially arms, legs, shoulders, stomach. UMPH! Next, bungee...one end tied to a fixed object and he other around your waist. Ten foot cord. Sprint forward, keep feet moving. 5 sets. Sprint backwards. Endurance, power, muscle confusion, brain stimulant.  reference...www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

Seasonal

Welcome everyone and let's go. Every change of season, for most of us, our mood changes...and possible lower energy level. From a personal standpoint and interviewing dozens of individuals, when you feel this...change your fitness/training routine. For some, even the foods you normally eat tastes different and people change foods slightly and even snacks...with some, even the times of day they eat, changes. Don't sit around and do nothing...move. For some, getting a workout partner helps if only for a brief period. Yours, and my mental health is of paramount importance to everyone. This writing is in no way meant to cause undue concern. A health tip that many athletes have taken advantage of...for aches and pain...chronic, rub on Wintergreen...and Arnicare (cream) for Acute pain. Jimmy O

Quicker-Quick

Welcome everyone and let's go. Thanks to all the ladies and their appreciation for the previous writings. Quickness is not only necessary but a requirement in any sport. Growing up on my parent's farm, I had the luxury of a board & bat siding on our barn. I would throw the ball against the barn from about 30 feet away and never knew which direction the ball was going until it hit. Starting at age 8. Little did I know that the hours spent (2 hr. a day) I was preparing myself to be really quick...that first step. Take a tennis size rubber ball against any surface or on any roof, throw it and don't move until it hits. Change up and alter the height of the ball to get a different bounce back. Take the same size ball and /or a soccer ball and drop/toss so your foot is going keep bouncing the ball in the air. Didn't say it was going to be easy...but fun and well worth the effort. Get a 5 year old to do it with you. The child wins!
