Athletic Strength & Conditioning Class 4:30. After a good warm up we did some strength building with front squats combined with stride board exercises. We then continued with a metabolic conditioning aspect of the workout that included bag work. These young men are getting physically stronger and mentally tougher. Great job guys.

YES YOU CAN!

PHYSICAL FITNESS

We had a conversation after the team workout with the ladies travel hockey team about training and getting in shape.

Here are 3 main ingredients to getting and staying fit:

1. Consistency. Work your workouts into your daily routine. Put them higher on your priority list. Many people's first reason why they can't stick to a workout routine is the time factor. The reality is that you don't have the time not to work out. Getting strength and metabolic conditioning into your daily routine will give you more energy, make you healthier and give you a better chance to live longer with a better lifestyle (less of a chance that someone has to help you use the potty when you are in your golden years)

2. Functional exercises. Single joint, isolated movements do not burn calories or work big muscles. There is much to be said for multiple joint movements that require big muscles to move weights. The only thing bad about deadlifts is the name. Deadlifts are a great exercise that everyone should master. People should learn how to properly pick heavy loads from the ground while stabilizing their torso. How often do you pick something up from the ground?

3. Be passionate about your health. If you are passionate about living a healthy lifestyle, motivation and inspiration to workout will follow. Focusing attention on your wellness is not a bad or selfish act. Additionally, by expressing passion for your health you will be instilling a set of wellness values into your kids, this alone should be the motivation you need!

Indomitable Spirit:

“Indomitable spirit is a combination of inner strength and commitment. It’s what keeps the last place marathon runner going until he/she crosses the finish line long after the crowds have gone home.”

Hockey Lessons

We have ice time for local coaches and trainers to give lessons to youngsters looking to learn how to skate, shoot and control the puck. The kids make gains through individualized instruction on the basic hockey skills. They also have fun.

SATURDAY'S SKILL CLASS

The kids gave a great effort Saturday. We combined hockey skill work with basic body weight exercises and a little fun to get these kids going. We are impressed with their effort and their performance in hockey and other sports will improve with this type of training.

I want to thank you guys for opening my eyes to what a real intense workout is and that I am actually capable of accomplishing it! In the almost 4 weeks I've been training with you, my fitness level has skyrocketed, I have lost 9 lbs. without sacrificing muscle mass, have become re-aquainted with healthier eating habits and now actually look forward to the workouts!

POINT OF REFERENCE

We had 3 days of tough workouts on the white board. Our Hyperfitters (Dan shown above) have done an excellent job of going after these workouts and doing their best. I have heard many times that this is the 'toughest thing I have ever done'. They usually smile after this being said. This is a great point of reference for people. Once they realize that they are capable of doing seemingly insurmountable tasks most other things in life seem easier. Ask someone from Hyperfitusa-Ann Arbor or STICKS-Brighton what is the toughest thing they have done and most likely they will pause while trying to remember the name of one of the workouts on the whiteboard. I'm sure they will smile too.

After the workout all these guys wanted to do was stand in the rain. They are doing a great job and are becoming stronger and well conditioned athletes.
