Improve your sports performance - get stronger

Wed ,04/11/2009

Imagine your body as a series of links in a chain - if you have one weak link you simply wont perform as well as you could.

“You’re only as strong as your weakest link” - tis true.

Squash, golf, football and many others. They will all be improved if you pay attention to your body as a whole.

I trained a semi professional cyclist who had been struggling for two seasons to bump himself up the rankings. After just 2 months he had moved up an entire class and was keeping up with riders 10 years younger than him. Not bad for two half hour sessions a week.

Did I improve his cardiovascular conditioning - hell no -his bike riding was plenty of cardio training for him. I did pay particular attention to making certain parts of his body chain allot stronger.

The stronger I made him, the less effort each pedal stroke took away from him. He rode more efficiently and still had juice to spare at the end.

Getting stronger without getting bigger will make all sports people better. Try it and blow your current competition out the water.

One of my favourite sites and authors in this game is Dan John.

He is friendly, helpful and has a way with words. Most of all he is knowledgeable and shares that knowledge for FREE.

The site is great if you want to lose fat, read about lifting heavy weights, love a good anecdote or to pick up some awesome tips.

Get Started with Epsom Personal Training

Fri ,16/10/2009

If you have ever thought about increasing your wellbeing, losing fat, looking better, being stronger, fitter, healthier or wanting to feel better about who you are as a person but never seem to get round to it, now is the time to build momentum.

If you find yourself saying “I will look into it” or “I want to do it but just cant seem to find the time or money” then in all liklihood you will always say that and ten years will pass and the tomorrow you thought of never arrived.

How many Personal Trainers have you spoken with, how many free consultations have you taken advantage of? You may find out that actually YOU CAN do it and that YOU DO have the time, YOU DO have the money.

Perhaps one of the Personal Trainers you spoke with surprised you with some new information you didn’t previously know about.

My point being;

If you don’t start gathering momentum, even if small amounts at a time, you will never build up enough to actually take action.

The most successful people on the planet take action, they build momentum, they gather information and then feel they are ready to see their momentum bloom into effort and results.

Be successful, gather information, take small steps and they will build into strides and then leaps and bounds.

YOU CAN MAKE A SMALL STEP - talk to someone, make the first small step.

Power to you. You deserve the health and body you want, you deserve to feel good about being you.

X-Training is here

Fri ,10/07/2009

After listening to feedback from clients I have decided to add a section the site showing the X-Training (cross training - similar to the USA favourite “Crossfit”) that we carry out here in the Epsom Personal Training facility.

A large number of people find that training can get a little repetitive, if not boring, at times. So with that in mind we utilise a combination of varying exercises from running to gymnastic rings in a frequently changing order with awesome results.
