Speed Bag for Soccer

2008-02-17T00:47:00.003-05:00

This is too cool! I promised I would post some soccer agility drills but I couldn't pass this up.

Use of the Kwik Kik Speed Ball will develop and strengthen muscles in unusual places - muscles that are required for many Soccer (and other athletic) moves. The Kwik Kik Equipment's - Speed Ball training device is a concentrated exercise. Just a few minutes daily will increase stamina, develop peripheral vision, use of both feet, and most of all confidence. Your feet and ankles will become tougher and less prone to injury. Every skill developed by the upper body will be built on the foundation of good eye-foot coordination. Aerobically it's as good as jumping rope but with the added benefits:

IMPROVED AGILITY * BALANCE * TIMING * FINE BALL CONTROL * QUICK FOOT REACTION * FLEXIBILITY * ENDURANCE * CONDITIONING

For more information check out the official website.

Dustin Carter

2008-02-02T20:31:00.001-05:00

A truly amazing story about a high school wrestler named Dustin Carter. Dustin lost all of his limbs at the age of five due to meningitis. Dustin's desire to win states leads him to his personal trainer Scott Goodpaster at the Cincinnati Functional Training facility. Dustin is a true warrior and a real inspiration.

Hope you enjoy.

TOUGH GUY

2008-01-13T22:48:00.000-05:00

A great article about the new strength coach at Michigan - Mike Barwis.

This was one of the best lines "He'd strategically place garbage cans throughout weight rooms, because guys like myself would puke in them. It shocks your muscles into getting used to what's coming."

Hope you enjoy.

New Jersey CrossFit

2007-11-29T23:09:00.000-05:00

CrossFit is a strength and conditioning system built on constantly varied, if not randomized, functional movements executed at high intensity. Let’s give life to this description and see how this program, honed from years of clinical experience, goes about forging elite fitness. Man’s world, nature, is full of movement. Our standing, sitting, throwing, lifting, pushing, pulling, climbing, running, and of course, punching are all quite natural. They got us where we are. They are part of our design. These natural, primal, movements influence the exercises included in CrossFit’s workouts.

How about that as a introduction to NewJersey CrossFit http://www.newjerseycrossfit.com/

The future is now, this is a functional arena that these guys train in.
