#Balance (7)

Welcome everyone...this the last installment in this series. Received a great response to this series. Tae Kwon do is the finishing touch. This one Martial Art ties it all together. Mind set, brain signals to select muscles, balance, focus, posture, technique. Discipline in functional body movement. 30 min. stretching as warm up for this 30 min. drill. Go...jump and land with one leg 2-3 feet in front of the other. Keep going for 10 yds. Now backwards for 5 yds. Now glide each foot forward (keeping glide foot on floor.) At same time punch with glide. Right foot glide, right hand punch. 5 sets. Starting position...feet 6-8 inches apart, elbows bent and fists waist high, palms up with fists against your body. Drill...left front snap kick, then right foot. Left, right side kick, left right back kick. Blocks...slide left foot few inches forward and raise left arm above head, elbow bent. .then right. Side block, elbow bent, fist shoulder height, left right. Low block...move left foot forward few inches, knee bent, left fist block with fist ending in front of knee. Alternate. You got it!!! www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

SPECIFICS

Welcome everyone...thank you for the great feedback re acute and chronic pain. Let's talk about thrust and specific training drills. Almost every sport and certain drills require bursts. Sports + 100's of exercises/drills are tempting to try. The weight room is most abused for your body. Stop looking at picture ads. Be specific in your drills and preparing for your thrusts. In track and field it's bolting out of the blocks for sprints. Name any event in T@F and you have a thrust. Train specific for that thrust. Most pulled hams in sprints occur coming out of the blocks and about the 50m mark. Don't just throw weights around or in reckless fashion. Start early and stay late. Out of 100's of drills, select 10 or less. Rather, enjoy your time training vs. rehab. Rehab is costly in money and your valuable time. Next writing, more bounce to the ounce. Jimmy O
