Training vs. Exercising. Many people exercise. We train. Professional athletes train with a purpose. They prepare for an upcoming game, series or season. Preparation is the key to success. We also train with a purpose. We are training for a race, event or a sport. We may be training for a known event but we also may be preparing for an unknown event. Be prepared for anything that comes your way. Be prepared to be successful.

TEAM RMFAO at Tough Mudder
Your training program should include strength and conditioning, biking/running/jogging/swimming, playing sports, participating in events/races/contest, and continually trying something new and different. Go for walks, light jogs and sprints. Play around with gymnastic movements. Your training should be challenging and fun. Stay active 6 days per week and include family and/or friends.

Improvement-In the process of having INTENSITY involved in the training we occasionally need to take a step back and see what we are doing here. Our goal is not to lift the most weight overhead. It is not to finish and be the first one to put a score on the board. Both of the above mentioned are positive things but make sure not achieve this at the cost of sacrificing something more important.
Our goal is to have people perform basic functional movement better. We want people to be stronger and yes lifting weights is required to gain strength. We also want people to improve their cardio/endurance abilities. We want to create an ARMY of well-rounded, strong, capable individuals that are mentally tough enough to overcome adversity. In essence we are looking for overall general fitness improvement.
Take weight off and focus on PERFECT form for every single rep in a workout, even the last rep of 300. Add more weight (providing form is safe and acceptable) and take a bit longer to finish. Have an idea of what you need to focus on when you walk in the gym and get better. We all need to take some RESPONSIBILITY for our overall general fitness improvement. YOU need to self-evaluate to target areas that will get you where you want to be.
Last week a female member finished a workout that involved pull ups. She did every pull up unassisted. She was PROUD and she should have been proud of her efforts. I noticed her consistently working on pull ups prior to classes for months. HARD WORK pays off.
