Hello and welcome everyone! Over this past year, in talking with tens
of athletes, I was appalled at how many allowed (got caught up with)
news items, politics and world affairs to interfere with and affect their
training, workouts and events. They allowed outside interests affect
their performance. WHY??? One of the roadblocks to success...self
induced distractions. Some of us are guilty of sabotaging ourselves.
Anything you can't control...don't worry about it. The road to success
will always be under construction. Fate is what life gives you...destiny is
what you do with it.
Have a meaningfull life everyone! Jimmy O

ADDICT
Hello and welcome everyone! This will be an attempt to define and asses
addiction as it relates sports and mental fitness. After my own experience
and interviewing several athletes and non athletes I have arrived at the
following conclusion. Addiction is the pursuit of or giving way to a
certain lifestyle. Let me apply this to sports, competitive events or training and working out. When we start "slacking off," we either put
into play denial or our mental toughness. From the very first time we
have to make that choice, we come to a life defining moment...a life
changing moment. When it becomes more comfortable to slack than
to pursue our goals, we are on a slippery slope. Our mental toughness
drives the physical. Achievement of any worthy goal requires Passion.
Having a Passion is more than writing down goals. With passion, you
begin to see yourself as already being there. You begin to act and behave
as though you were already there.

IMPACT
Hello and welcome everyone! Have a healthy and safe New Year! My
personal commitment for 2012...motivate others, of all ages to engage in
a healthy lifestyle. Perhaps the greatest threat to our health is a lack of
movement. I will continue conducting 15 classes a week...8 "Balance Your
Life" fitness class and 7 Pickleball class.

THE 3 IT'S
Hello and welcome everyone! Merry Christmas to all and may the New
Year bring you peace, joy and love. This is the time of year we make all
those promises to ourselves...and seldom keep any. And at some point in
the new year, we gravitate back to our "old ways" and even forget what
we promised ourselves. A different approach...start with one simple step
and build throughout the year. By the 12th month, you reach what you
promised yourself. Each month you attain a measure of success. You feel
and live it. Having a vision of where you want to be...you begin to act and
behave as though you were already there! Say it, write it, start it. Begin a
with the 3 IT"S!

KICK?!
Hello and welcome everyone! Great time of year for "cross training." I
don't eliminate any of my scheduled training for "cross training."
I play racquetball, pickleball, basketball and TRX. This type of training
creates muscle confusion. That's the "value added" benefit. I have also
have discovered it's a great brain booster. You will feel energized! So, if
you are looking for a "kick" try the cross training program.

10X
Hello and welcome everyone! December workout schedule is mentally
taxing. Your schedule and your planned workouts are critical in
maintaining momentum. I don't miss any workouts in December. I plan
around the holiday happenings. I emphasize plyo, conditioning drills,
curved treadmill and weight room. I lift weights 4x a week. Legs 2x and
upper body 2x. As a sprinter, I need thrust coming out of the blocks...I
have a 30lb weight in each hand, squat and then spring up and jump as
high as I can. Three sets/10 to each set. Also take a 12lb kettle bell weight,
squat and spring up and jump as I as I can holding the weight above my
head. This drill also gets credit for my high jumps and long jumps. You
can apply this drill to any sport. Re curved treadmill, I sprint for 60 sec.,
rest for 2 min. 5sets. I also incorporate core drills and knee lifts. The
above mentioned drills are a major part of my December workouts. High
impact. Each workout is for 1 hour and 15 min. six days a week. That
is my December workout exercise program.
