I won't do this to you again
As you can imagine, the gym is crankin at this time of year. You know you have a "good problem" when you run out of areas to meet with new clients because there are too many evaluations scheduled at one time. I know, terrible right?
Here are some random thoughts and links for your weekend reading
1. One of our core values is, "Integrity- Lead by Example", which simply means do the damn workouts that you are asking your clients to perform. Renown strength coach Dan John hits the nail on the head on his blog:
There is an insight here. So many things look easy on the web or on paper, but the doing makes it difficult. Clarity in a workout often comes, not by discussion, but by doing
2. Here is an article form the NY Times discussing the merit of flexibility, mainly in distance runners. While I don't agree with all of the information presented, I do agree with the fact that tight hamstrings can be a good thing for distance runners. This concurs with Dr Stuart McGill's findings, as well. I have been presenting this very concept in a Modern Mobility series at Fleet Feet, a local running shoe store.
3. I have had several questions regarding our online training. If you don't live close enough to train at NPPT and want us to design an effective program for you, this is a fantastic option. Click here for more details. Also, we are in the process of developing an online coaching option for nutrition. Natalie, our RD, will be running the progam and the early indicators are awesome!
4. An awesome finisher or workout that Ross and I completed a few weeks back:
I Go/U Go Burpees 1-10-1
Find a training partner and simply perform burpees from 1 through 10 and then back to 1. BTW- that's 100 reps! The rest for each is just long enough for your partner to complete their target reps. Ouch!
This one is from Laurie, our office manager.
Have a great weekend!
