    The Mamba Mentality

    The sports world was shocked to its core this past weekend. As a Celtics fan, I was never the biggest cheerleader for Kobe, but relentless pursuit of greatness was something to behold and extremely inspiring. This episode talks about the mentality he had, along with athletes like Walter Payton, Jerry Rice, and others, to become the incredible athletes they became and how the masters athlete can absorb that mindset for sports, finances, and relationships.

    Strength Training Part 1

    We've all read what Men's Health and Muscle & Fitness magazines have told us regarding strength training. But the reality is that our training programs need to mimic EXACTLY what it is we are looking for in terms of our goals towards performance. This week I touch base on the basic concepts of strength training and will build to more advanced concepts in the upcoming weeks.

    Strength vs. Endurance Battle Royal

    We've all done it. We've done 30 minutes on the treadmill and then headed off to our strength training session and pumped out some squats, pull-ups, bench press, whatever (or strength THEN cardio...whatever). Well, science shows this isn't the best way to attack your training and in today's episode I'll discuss why you should do these on separate workouts rather than in the same session. This is my first of a series of episodes dedicated to strength training.

    Be Prepared for Anything

    I ran into a situation this past week where being prepared for a health emergency was of the utmost importance. I talk about that along with a recent study regarding shoes on this week's episode.

    Aerobic Endurance II

    And we're back with another episode dedicated to aerobic endurance. This week I touch base on long-distance versus short distance endurance training and when it's appropriate to use HIIT as a training tool. I talk about using heart rate as an indicator of fat utilization and to focus on long steady increases rather than fast improvements.

    Aerobic Endurance Part 1

    Aerobic endurance has many different aspects and types of training associated with it. It can be anything from a 1-mile run to a full marathon. But the training for those two events, while both being aerobic endurance, is not the same. Today I give a high-level overview on why the concept of specificity is extremely important when programming for this type of competition.
