General Fitness
____________________________________________________________________
The old
fashioned way of training you earn it all yourself.
I use the Marine Corps training and calisthenics along with walking/jogging.
Push-ups, crunches, leg-lifts, back-arm pushups on a bench. Up downs,
Bends and Thursts, 4-count berpes.
These
are all forms of general type fitness exercises that can be performed on any
grass surface or mat/towel.

Boxing
____________________________________________________________________
The
art of learning your body with simple movements.
These movements can be exercises without weights.
Or boxing basics:
Jabs , hooks, crosses and upper-cuts.
This sounds easy but if you've never done them you'll
feel it.
Just like any physical activity you get better with time.
Muscle memory is automatic for some and
others it comes a lot harder and longer,.
This is
done one punch after another alternating your feet with circle blocks and upper
blocks you can really get a good workout. Tempo and pace is always set by the client.
This
not only good for the limbs but for control and balance.
You
gain from teaching your body these movements and your body will adapt.

Aerobic/Anaerobic Workouts
____________________________________________________________________
The
difference between these two type of workouts is:
one is
performed when you can talk normally (aerobic)
and
the other is short explosive movements done at or near 100 %(anaerobic).
Aerobic workouts are structured around
walking. The time is 15 minutes or 30
minutes of
non-stop walking. The pace doesn't matter when beginning. Your
life is unique. There are some opportunities
that you might not realize as a training
opportunity. For instance parking further away from the entrance to work.
Taking part of your lunch if you get an hour or you're able to walk 15 minutes away from
your job and walk back
15 minutes which is 30 minutes. Most people who do this
don't want to get all sweaty. Its done at a comfortable
pace.
Anaerobic sprints performed near maximal output. This type of training is for
players who play in Anaerobic type sports. This training can vary depending on
what sport and how long the sport depends on recovery between sprints or sequences
during the game.
However if you feel like you need to push your anaerobic levels for whatever reason.
Then you can cycle your
training to include some anaerobic training.

RICE
is the acronym for Rest Ice Compression Elevation. Some people like to
use heat and ice but it depends on the type of injury sustained. Ice is usually
applied when players no longer will re-enter the game.
___________________________________________________________________
Plyometrics is a series of different bounding,
jumping movements on two legs or
off one. This is
used for athletes who compete in sports that require a large
amount
of jumping such as basketball and volleyball. It's really a hard workout.
It's not recommended for those
who just want to get in shape and lose a few pounds.
___________________________________________________________________
Physical Test Preparation
___________________________________________________________________
The
people who desire training for agility drills or strength tests for jobs or athletic
performance testing. I will need the guidelines for the testing before planning the
training. We will structure training to pass the test.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Football players undergo a combine. A series of tests vertical
jump, bench press
for reps, 40 yard sprint, T-shuttle.
They also schedule individual drills that are
performed
against other players who are at the combine. Training would be
structured to prepare players for these tests.

General Fitness and Workouts
____________________________________________________________________
This
is the start for people who don't workout at all.
These
are usually people who are looking for a short-cut to losing weight.
They don't like training. In fact they hate sweating and anything that has to do
with physical training.
They never set foot in a gym and don't plan on it.
They rather eat & drink and just enjoy life.
But
someone or something has changed them into at least wanting to workout.
____________________________________________________________________
If your a person that fits in this
category than you might want to start training on
your
own. I've heard many of these people say I won't train in the Gym. I want to
get in shape first and then start training in the Gym. So I understand why
someone would not want to go to the Gym feeling ashamed
about your physical
status. But you've got to
start somewhere at sometime Today might be a good time
to start
___________________________________________________________________
If you're in this group then you can
begin training on your own (Program 1)
Start out walking.
Park your car further away and walk.
If you got stairs at the job use them instead of the elevator or escalator.
Try and find ways to be more physical.
By all means
don't be more lazy find a way to be more physical.
___________________________________________________________________
Program
1
start by walking 5 minutes away from your place of residence
and turn around and
go back. Hey that's 10 minutes
of training. A good start to training.
You can see how far you can get in 5 minutes and returning in the
same amount of time
as you started.
As it get's
easier you can increase the time you train. You can stay at the 10 minutes and
just see if you can get
further then your previous workouts.
You'll begin
to feel confidence as the walks become easier. You can increase the
time you head away from home but remember that you'll have to walk back.
____________________________________________________________________
Nutritional Balance
When you begin training your appetite will change. You might find that your
hungry more often. Some say this is a bad thing.
I say feed the hunger. Don't
starve yourself.
How much you eat during one sitting can make a difference the
next
time you eat.
Fad diets, drastic changes to ones eating habits usually has a drastic result.
In the
early going many people reap the benefits, But in the long run you've got to
ask yourself can you live off
of what your eating the rest of your life?
If the answer is no then the most beneficial way is I have clients send me
food journals,
They track everything they eat during the day.
If they cheat I'll know. But more importantly
they'll know.
The journal is collected and updated by me with notes and suggestions.
The goals are all the clients.
The choices are all the clients.
I just remind them every week when I send the journals back.
____________________________________________________________________
Let's
get down to what is real and what is not.
People who
eat healthy constantly are for the most part abnormal.
Asking
everyone to eat a certain type of menu for the rest of their lives is not
practical for many people.
Eat as many times
in the day as you want to. Don't eat until your full. Chew
your food. If you find yourself burping and having stomach pains after eating
certain types of foods, don't eat these foods because your body is telling you to
stay away from them
Preparing your meals
is the best way to go. If you eat out don't super-size.
Develop new habits is the hardest part of training. Maintaining good habits the
rest of your life is a skill that will not take place over night.
Eat light meals that you can easily digest. The proper types of
foods have
already been identified on numerous lists. To
bombard anyone with this over
and over is pointless. Each individual has weaknesses and strengths I'm just
here to point out the choices over a course of a day, week, month.
____________________________________________________________________
Athletes
Need - Training that is hard enough to experience gains but not hard enough to
get injured along the way.
A period of rest
and recovery is an important part of training.
Overtraining could lead to lack of energy.
Just because
you train does that training help you in the sport you play?
Is it psychological? Specific training that allows
one to feel much better
or help them with the sport is targeted training.
Athletes who want speed and lateral movement can get this training at a variety of
specialized facilities in the area.
I
do work on this area with athletes. My method is working form, pace, technique.
Drills done repetitively produce the correct muscle memory response.
___________________________________________________________________
Video breakdown is an analysis using game
film provided by the client. I will
watch your games
and determine what you can do in training to help you become
a
better athlete. We plan a workout and you start training.
_____________________________________________________________________
If you have general questions then your
welcome to e-mail me your questions.
If your looking for
someone to help re-organize your workouts. Then you can
explain
what your problems are and what you do as far as exercises, reps, sets,
duration of time between sets, your goals, your daily intake of nutrition. I will try
and send you a response.
____________________________________________________________________
Contact Me First by E-mail.
____________________________________________________________________
You
can ask questions and tell me what your problems are. Maybe we can
communicate through e-mail and I might have some ideas to help you.
___________________________________________________________________
Payment
___________________________________________________________________
Payment
must be received prior to the training session. No free sessions are
available. You can schedule a training session and cancel anytime without being
charged for it. As long as I don't arrive at the training site. If we schedule a
training session and you miss the appointment and don't call prior
then you will
be charged for the entire session.
Checks will be accepted. But training doesn't
start
until the deposit is posted into my account. I don't accept credit cards.
Cash is always fine.
____________________________________________________________________
A
person can train as many days as they want to. Each person has so much
time to give to training. Traffic can hold up people. Lifestyle can also prevent
someone from meeting on time. These events are sometimes unforeseen and I
will allow someone to have chances. But If it becomes
a pattern then you'll need
to find another person
to train you. A phone call is easy to do.
____________________________________________________________________
People
like to get something for nothing. All too often in a Gym people will try
and copy your workouts. That's fine. If you want to learn my training techniques
and schedule 1 workout. That's fine. If you pay for a weeks worth
of training
that's fine to. You can quit training
any time no contracts, no questions asked.
_____________________________________________________________________
I
will listen to clients and try my best to help each individual get what they're
paying for. I have trained for 25 years. 11 years of coaching experience from pop
warner to high school. 4 years in the United States Marines. I worked
2 years
under Marv Marinovich training athletes.
I'm comfortable in the knowledge I have
gained throughout
the years. I'm not the only trainer around. I don't have any
short cut programs or give any special speeches. I believe a trainer is only as
good as the person they train. My best pupils have been females. Of course the
most athletic are the players who I trained in preparation for the NFL combine.
If you pay attention and work with me I can help you. If you rather
do it yourself
or train with numerous other trainers who are
in Southern California by all means
do it. They're
many good Personal Trainers that can help you.
