- Core-Principles: The Function of Functional Training By Kurt Hurley
Okay…okay…okay! Enough already!!! It seems like with every new term, every new invention or just about anything that is seemingly not “Everyday” that we all become flustered and assume we know nothing, which is both a testament to our lack of faith in ourselves and also a reflection of our ever-growing dependence on externals to give us a little reassurance where our natural instincts should be in high gear.My intention with this article is not to offend anyone especially those that whom, with…

- Benefits of a Good Training Journal By Ryan Fyfe

Chances are if you’ve ever taken your training seriously you’ve used a training journal or a training log.The main difference between training journals and training logs, is what you document in them after each workout or day, etc. Training journals are just that. They are more of a journal rather than a log. They will normally include things like mental health and how you felt during the day or your workout. They can reach a bit into some stat…
- Doing vs. Performing: The Difference Between Exercising and Getting Results By Troy Anderson
Back when I was young and living on my parents’ farm, there always seemed to be plenty of tasks that were reserved for the low man on the totem pole. And you guessed it. That low man was me. Picking up and piling sticks seemed to be one of my dad’s favorite tasks for me, and quite frankly, it was one of my least desired jobs to do. Funny how that works. Anyway, every time my dad would tell me to go out and complete one of these undesirable tasks, I would respond with the requisite whining…

- Exercise and the Time Clock By Sherri L Dodd
I have to admit that I sometimes find it amusing when someone knows I am a trainer and proceeds to elaborate on the hours that they spend in the gym. One example was a few years back when I was introduced to a nice young women, who proceeded to tell me that she went to the gym twice a day, an hour each time. Unless this second hour was spent in the jacuzzi or making up for lost time due to chatting with fellow gym-goers during the earlier timeslot, I would be leary. Instead of being impress…
- Precision Abdominal Training By Bryan Fass
