Being a fitness enthusiast is a wonderful thing. In fact, many people wish self-motivation and enthusiasm for fitness were a part of their makeup or habits.

You can improve speed, agility and quickness but you have to do it right to avoid injury and get maximum results. Try this phase 1 SAQ training for a few weeks and be sure to watch for phase 2 coming soon. http://blog.ideafit.com/files/user_upload/1893754.pdf

Black Friday is just around the corner and you’ve spent the last month making lists, drawing maps of store aisles and mentally preparing for the big day. But don’t neglect some key skills you will need for that day…speed, agility and quickness!  Dedicating a day or two per week to speed, agility, quickness (SAQ) training will give the competitive edge on Black Friday meaning that those 60% off teeth whitening strips can be yours---all yours!!

We know that guys have a thing for large muscles. When many guys are young they dream of fast cars, playing football, and wanting to look like muscle bound superheroes.

So...if you're involved in youth hockey at all, you know that the season is coming to an end. If your the type of player that is always trying to improve your game then try my recommendations for increasing skating speed.Skating speed is a product of a couple things…skate stride and skate frequency. So, the longer your stride and the more strides you take, the faster you will be. Stride length can be improved in a couple ways. Using proper body mechanics in your skating and increasing the force with which you push off. 

Do you have a young goalie in your life? As the youth hockey season winds down it will be time to hang up the skates for another season. Ahhh…the BBQ’s, the swimming, the family camping trips, sleeping in, hockey training. WHAT?? Did I just say hockey training? In the off-season? Well, yes I did. If your little athlete plays at a high level such as rep hockey or has aspirations of playing in the pro or semi-pro leagues then some type of summer off-ice training is a good thing. 

Ok triathlon athletes (this blog is also for biathlons, marathon, and other races you compete in) at this point you should be well within your conditioning phase. Continue with your squats, lunges, single leg touchdowns and core training. It’s time to add some speed training.

The journey from Lincoln High School to New Mexico State to the NFL was a crazy ride. The summer heading into college i just started lifting weights and had "bulked up" to a massive 5'9" 155 pounder. When that 17 year old showed up at NMSU completely raw without any hype or technique and was the laughing stock of everyone for being so small i never backed down or quit.
