Sand Man/Woman

Welcome everyone...time to go to the beach. Running and sprinting on sand. Not in a straight line when sprinting. A lot of cutting, stopping, start up...and backward for both sprints and running. 10 minute intervals. In between...standing w/feet about 6-8 inches apart, start with rt. leg, lock your knee and raise leg straight up, waist high, now move leg left of body as far as you can...now back to right as far as you can, 5x each direction. Same with left leg. 5 sets. Quads will get a real work out as will your abs. Once a week. Your reward...greater full body balance, quickness, acceleration , power and mental alertness. At least a 30 min. cool down.

Weakness

Welcome everyone...we readily exhibit our strengths..."disguise" our weaknesses...to "cover up" we over compensate our game. Take tennis as an example...player has a poor backhand and  hide's it by playing 90% of his/her game w/fore arm. Circles ball to be in position to hit forearm. Every athlete, fitness person or walker has a weakness. STOP the cover up. Break down the swing into parts and begin to "rebuild" the swing. Competition won't let you get away with "circling " the ball. Apply that science to any sport or athletic workout or training session. More often than not...the weakness  becomes the strong suit. There is a solution to every problem. Denial gets you no where. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

"Blind Spot"

Welcome everyone...right along w/muscle memory is your blind spot. Most all people experience a blind spot...and more than just once...and not just when driving a car. Your every day routine should include "brain stimulus." Card games, puzzles, reading, puzzles. Blind spot notice...when we get lazy, indifference, stubborn...that's when we activate the blind spot. Think of your driving habits. Ignoring muscle memory and/or your blind spot leads you to that intercession of "what the hell happened and now what." Rehab is a tough assignment. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

Muscle Memory

Welcome everyone...muscle memory can be your worst enemy. W/out thinking your doing a drill, making a play, thinking about one thing and find yourself doing the opposite...yup, can't remember doing something. Doesn't have to be related to training or playing a sport. Did you lock the door, where are the car keys? Oh, oh...BAD. All of the above locks in our "lazy attitude." Living in an "outer world." Not good. Muscle memory can dominate brain power. We need to stimulate Muscle Confusion...and not just in working out or competing. Change your routine, time of day start time, set up new program w/interchangeable parts...having to think before you act. You are only as strong as your weakest link. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com
