The Fitness Life, it’s a Good One.

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Hey, I am in Las Vegas today, but not for long.  The next two weeks are going to be filled with fun and adventure for me!  Sunday i am heading to California, where a Six Flags trip is in order, and then on Tuesday, I will be heading down to Florida to develop a pre-season training program for my friend, Coach David Lane, and his Chipola College women’s basketball team.  I will say this.  The weather down in that part of Florida, is nothing to brag about.  Sorry Dave.  I went there last year, and felt the need to shower as soon as I stepped outside.  I do have fun showing athletes how to work out though.  He has a very talented team, and I feel honored to have a part in their success. 

After the Florida trip, I will be going BACK to California, but this time to do something that i have been waiting a year to do.  I will be going to Santa Monica, to become officially TRX certified.  Ever since I put my hands on a TRX, it’s what I’ve wanted to do.  I read about them, watch videos, own my own dvd library on TRX workouts, watch seminars, you name it.  Only thing I don’t want to happen is to have this workshop teach me nothing.  But with literally 8 hours of just TRX, I am sure I will learn plenty new. 

Well, that would be the extent of my trips in August, as it has been a VERY busy month for me.  We have another huge project in the works, that will be coming out, hopefully before the end of the year.  I don’t want to say P90X look out, but hey,  look out:)  Alright guys.  That’s it for today.  Hope your training is going well, and I hope to see you guys in Fitness Camp sometime soon!

What Sport Has The Fittest Athletes?

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Don’t know why i just thought of this question.  NBA summer league is up on tv, and there are some guys with some muscle on those courts!  Playing basketball, I can appreciate the athleticism some of these guys have.  And some of them are just chiseled.  I also saw the other night on VH1 I think it was, the T.O. Show.  Or something like that.  Terrell Owens is trying to find a wife or something.  Pointless really, but they do have a little clip of him working out.  That dude is jacked.  And he plays basketball in his free time as well.  The reason I am writing this, is because I am wondering, which sport has the athletes who possess the most fitness?  Is it football, with their fast receivers, powerful lineman, and agile running backs?  Is it basketball, with their ultra quick point guards, their lean, long athletic forwards, and centers with their footwork?  Maybe it’s baseball, with their… umm….their…. pitchers, and tobacco, and stuff.  Wait, NO!  definitely not baseball. There are some healthy, fit guys, but for the most part, come on.  Hockey?  possibly. I don’t know a ton about hockey, but i know these guys are skating non stop for a couple hours.  So I ask you guys?  What sport do you think has the overall fittest athletes?  I know a lot of people are going to say rugby, or soccer.  Give me your argument, and why.
