IRON CARDIO Series

FREE REPORT#1: SWING Your Way to Fitness

There just isn't enough time to do everything you need to do in the gym to get the body you want.   I am constantly looking for ways to get results quicker for my clients.   Sometimes I reduce the number of exercises, combine exercises or replace old exercises with new exercises.   I wanna tell you about an exercise that replaces squatting, running and crunches!

It is the SWING.   The swing is the first exercise in IRON CARDIO series. The name says it all.   Here is how you do it!

Step 1

Take a slightly wider than shoulder width stance.   Squat down and grab a kettlebell or dumbbell and let it hang between your knees.   Push the bell back fast behind your knees to start the forward swing.  

Step 2

With a straight and tight arm, let the kettlebell swing up.   As the bell starts to swing up, extend your legs until they are straight.

Step 3

As your knees straighten, tuck you tail underneath by flexing your rear as hard as you can.   At the exact same time, crunch forward and exhale sharply.

Step 4

After the bell has reached the top of the swing (about head height), guide the bell back between your knees.   Breathe in deep through your nose and reach with your rear so you feel a stretch in the back of your legs as you squatting down.   Go back to Step 1 and repeat until you are smoked!   I never said giving up squatting, running and crunches would be easy - but with SWINGS you can!

IRON TRAINING SERIES

FREE REPORT #2:

IS SPORT SPECIFIC TRAINING ACTUALLY

HURTING ENDURANCE ATHLETES?

As a trainer who designs strength and conditioning routines for various athletes and sports, there is only ONE way to evaluate my performance: DO MY ATHLETES PEFORM BETTER?   Not:   DO MY ATHLETES GET STRONGER, MORE POWERFUL AND FASTER?   Time in the gym should be geared around better performance in competition not better performance in the gym.

The new trend in sports specific training is to break down what an individual does in competition and train those components.   At first glance it makes a lot of sense.   For the most part it does work initially, but its' effectiveness is short lived.

Sport performance is limited by the body's health.   The problem is: many sports CAUSE body problems.   Through repetitive limited ranges of motion in cyclic sports (running, swimming, cycling) and unilateral (one-side) dominant sports (racket sports, throwing sports) the body develops imbalances and weaknesses.   Focusing on improving those specific movements and training those can further develop imbalances and weaknesses.

As in life, training is about balancing. If you go too far in one direction, you are bound to fall over.   When I am designing strength and conditioning plans for athletes, I make sure to address weaknesses before I make their strengths stronger.   Sport specific training has to not only focus on sport movements but body balance.

Wanna find out my weapon of choice for sport specific training?   I use the KETTLEBELL to train the athlete's weaknesses, strengths and body. The Kettlebell Method allows the trainee to achieve, strength, power, flexibility, endurance and core strength simultaneously. With the Kettlebell, my athletes spend less time in the gym and get better results.   It is something you simply have to experience to believe.

Is performing better your goal?   Keep this in mind: train your body first and your sport second!   Your career will be long and full of PR's!   Want to find the fastest way to your next PR?   Come check out Kettlebells!
