<br />
My website host gives me far more controls and interactive qualities to make my blog a success, so from now on, all of my posts will be published from there. Thanks for your understanding!<br />
<br />
Check out my new Website: tylerrobbinsfitness.com

Today, marks the successful completion of said goal with my 365th straight blog!</span><br />
<div id="yui_3_7_3_1_1366118305632_99939" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: proxima-nova, proxima-nova, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px;">

<div id="yui_3_7_3_1_1366634556881_51449" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: proxima-nova, proxima-nova, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-top: 24px;">
In my opinion, one of the best parts about writing a blog, is that I now have an amazing library of resourceful information to share with all of you. What's even better than that? I have listed the past 365 days' worth of blogs here in today's blog to allow all of you to scan through the list and maybe discover any blogs that you may have missed over the past year, or re-located blogs that have been useful to you in the past. Feel free to share this list with anyone you wish, as I am sure there is something useful in this list for everybody, enjoy!</div>

Macrocycles are the largest and usually involve an entire sport year, but can last up to 4 years for an Olympic athlete for example. Macrocycles are made up of 2 or more mesocycles which can last anywhere from several weeks to several months. Going further beyond that, mesocycles are broken up into microcycles which are usually a week long but can be as long as 4 weeks each.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">To properly train any athlete, a well-structured training program will consist of both sport-specific training as well as strength and conditioning training. The emphasis placed on either training modality is entirely based on where the individual stands in not only their sport season, but also in their physical conditioning. Periodization involves shifting from non-sport specific training (strength and conditioning), that is of high volume and low intensity to low volume, high intensity sport-specific activities. This shift will occur over a period of many weeks to prevent overtraining and optimize performance.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">The following image will detail the periodization periods</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Preparatory Period</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">The preparatory period is the longest period and usually occurs at the time of year furthest from time of competition. This is the time for the athlete to establish a base level of fitness in order to build and grow from there. Slow, long distance running, light plyometrics, low resistance, high-repetition resistance training is all needed and utilized to begin conditioning.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">When the preparatory period first begins and the training loads are high (long distance running/swimming, high repetition resistance training), the strength and conditioning sessions take a longer period of time, which leads to fatigued athletes that have little time for sport-specific training. As the preparatory period nears the end, the microcycles begin to change to lower the work volume, increase intensity (resistance loads), and increase sport-specific training.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">The goals early on in the preparatory period should be to improve muscular endurance and hypertrophy. This goal is in place to increase the efficiency and size of the muscles so that they can then be honed and trained later. To train your muscles for endurance and hypertrophy, the individual should aim for 50-75% of their 1 rep maximum (1RM) which should result in a 10-20 repetition range. The hypertrophy/endurance phase should last anywhere between 1-6 weeks and then a low-intensity recovery week before transitioning into a basic strength phase.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Now that the individual has increased their muscular size and efficiency, the basic strength phase is designed to do just what it says and improve the overall strength of said muscles. The basic strength phase involves high intensity (80-90% 1RM) and moderate volume of 3-5 sets of 4-8 repetitions.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">After the basic strength phase, the athlete can then transition into the strength/power phase. This is where high loads and low volumes are introduced to maximize the explosiveness and power in the muscles. The strength/power phase involves high intensity (75-95% 1RM) and low volume of 3-5 sets of 2-5 repetitions.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">First Transition Period</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">A very short period, the transition period is designed to allow the body to heal and recover with one week of lower intensity, lower volume, or a combination of the two to prepare the athlete for the competition period.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Competition Period</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Competition periods can last for a week to several weeks, although most athletes have a sport or competition season that can last for many months. During this time, the goal of the individual is to maintain their current strength and conditioning levels by continuing to train with high intensities, but greatly reduced volumes. Especially important during this time is that the sport-specific skills are honed and trained in order to "cash-in" on the training that has been completed in the preparatory period.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Another main goal of the athlete is to ensure that their strength and conditioning peaks during competition so that they maximize the return from the efforts they have put into their training up until this point.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Second Transition Period (Active Rest)</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">During this period, the goal of the athlete is to allow their bodies to rest and recover from a lengthy "peak" period during their competition season. Various light to moderate activities can be practiced as long as the body is not stressed or strained too hard. It is entirely possible for the individual to not have any resistance training at all.</span></span><br />

Hello Everybody!<br /></div>
What a beautiful
sunny day here in Southern Ontario. It is amazing what a little sunshine
can do for your mood...especially after the winter we've had. I hope
all of you are well and are staying active/eating healthy. Do you have
short-term and long-term goals set? Remember that long-term goals are
great to strive for, but it is the short-term goals that keep you
motivated, progressing along.<br />
</div>
A couple things to cover this week:<br /></div>
1. <a href="http://tylerrobbinsfitness.com/blog/2013/4/12/day-356-im-going-to-beachbody-coach-summit-2013" target="_blank">I am going to Beachbody Coach Summit 2013</a>!
This will be my first time going to not only Summit, but to Vegas as
well. Summit traditionally is the time of year when Beachbody makes big
announcements on their upcoming products. I will be taking lots of
photos (and potentially video) at the event and will be live-blogging as
much as I can, posting anything I hear to both my website <a href="http://www.tylerrobbinsfitness/" target="_blank">www.tylerrobbinsfitness</a>.com and my Facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/TylerRobbinsFitness" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/<wbr></wbr>TylerRobbinsFitness</a>, so keep an eye on both between June 20th-22nd.<br />
</div>
2. Bringing me to my next point - I have been an active
blogger using "Blogger", but will no longer be posting there as of
Monday April 22nd. From then on, you can find all of my blogs at <a href="http://tylerrobbinsfitness.com/blog" target="_blank">tylerrobbinsfitness.com/blog</a> I have more social integration here, so keep an eye out as every blog I post will be automatically posted at 6am.<br />
</div>
3. Another video has been released detailing <a href="http://tylerrobbinsfitness.com/news/2013/4/2/shaun-ts-focus-t25" target="_blank">Shaun T's new program "Focus T25"</a>.<br /><br /><div>
<div>
4. My sister, who is a brand-new Beachbody Coach shared this awesome story with me: <span class="" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">I am
new to the beach body family. Two days ago I received my Les Mills Pump
and my Chocolate shakeology. Anyways I started taking shakeology today,
so I took it to work with me. Anyways I was just on my way home from
work, and I was pulled over by the police. My husband's car has a
taillight out, and I was having a ha<span class="">rd
time finding the insurance card (which I did find) in the glove box.
Anyways the cop saw the bag of shakeology on my passenger side seat, and
soon the conversation turned to it. I told him about the coach program
and beach body sales etc... Anyways he let me go, and we may have a new
client :). Thank you Shakeology!!<br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">5. Just a few weeks left to take advantage of <a href="http://tylerrobbinsfitness.com/news/2013/4/1/beachbody-april-promotions">Beachbody's Insanity Challenge Pack Promotion</a>!<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">6.
For those of you who may have missed it, I purchased a brand-new squat
rack with Olympic bar and weight plates this past weekend. I just
couldn't hold off any longer, so as of this morning, I am back to using <a href="http://tylerrobbinsfitness.com/blog/2013/4/17/day-361-stepping-back-into-the-beast">Body Beast as my workout program</a>.<br /></span></div>
<div>

So, in light of this, I am going to take my own advice and end my current hybrid, and head back to do another (modified) round of Body Beast.<br />
<br />
For those of you who are following along, I am currently in a P90X2/Asylum hybrid, preparing for my next Tough Mudder on Saturday May 11th. There are few things that stand out here towards my reasoning for ending my current hybrid.<br />
<br />
1. I have recently been diagnosed with Atrial Flutter. Although I have been given the green light to exercise, I have been warned about pushing things too far. We all know that there is nothing like a Shaun T workout to push yourself past your limits. So, although I have been using a couple Asylum routines, I will be the first to admit that I have been not giving it as much of an effort as I have in the past.<br />
<br />
2. Last year when I competed in Tough Mudder, I had a goal of making it in the top 5%. I succeeded at that goal, and went on to compete in the World's Toughest Mudder in November. This time around, I am not necessarily trying to gun for my best time at Tough Mudder, I am just going to compete, so this performance training that I have been doing isn't as necessary (in my opinion). Keep in mind that I will still be adding-in some distance running to my training so that I am not completely gassed from the event. (see schedule below)<br />
<br />
3. I purchased a new squat rack with an Olympic bar and weight plates. I have always wanted a squat rack so that I could use it to really up the ante when working my legs, back, chest, and shoulders. Ever since I made my purchase and set my rack up, it has been calling my name. I am a firm believer, as I said above, that you should do what you enjoy, and lately, I have been really enjoying heavy resistance training!<br />
<br />
So, without further ado, here is my schedule. Keep in mind that I am keeping some distance runs on weekends, and I also have a scheduled "off" day when my wife is out of town May 1st, so the schedule looks different than what is listed with the Body Beast series. Not only that, but I like the idea of having at least a day rest between Build: Legs and Build: Back/Bis appeals to me since I will really be upping the weight on my deadlifts in Build: Back/Bis.<br />
<br />
Over the coming days, I will post my workout modifications now that I have my squat rack. Most of the routines will be mostly the same, but there will be modifications due to having my Olympic bar, so stay tuned!<br />
<br />
April:<br />
17 - Build: Chest/Tris + Abs<br />
18 - Build: Legs<br />
19 - Build: Shoulders + Abs<br />
20 - Build: Back/Bis<br />
21 - Run<br />
22 - Off/Recovery/Yoga<br />
23 - Build: Chest/Tris + Abs<br />
24 - Build: Legs<br />
25 - Build: Shoulders + Abs<br />
26 - Build: Back/Bis<br />
27 - Run<br />
28 - Build:Chest/Tris + Abs<br />
29 - Build: Legs<br />
30 - Build: Shoulders + Abs<br />
<br />
May:<br />
1 - Off<br />
2 - Build: Back/Bis<br />
3 - Build: Chest/Tris + Abs<br />
4 - Build: Legs<br />
5 - Run<br />
6 - Build: Shoulders + Abs<br />
7 - Build: Back/Bis<br />
8 - Off/Recovery/Yoga<br />
9 - Off/Recovery/Yoga<br />
10 - Off/Recovery/Yoga<br />
11 - Tough Mudder<br />
<br />
Following Tough Mudder, I will most certainly need a few days off to recover, then I will be jumping into a modified Bulk Phase schedule to take me all the way to the Beachbody Coach Summit 2013! I will post that schedule in the coming weeks.<br />

Not only does variety prevent training from getting stale, but it is also crucial to allow multiple energy systems to be trained and optimized to increase performance.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Long, Slow Distance Training (LSD)</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Long, slow distance training is when an individual trains at 70% VO2 Max or 80% of max heart rate (MHR). The allotted time for LSD training should be anywhere from 30 mins to 2 hours which can be the same distance or more distance than the event being trained for. This is also known as "conversation training" as the individual should be able to carry on a fairly easy conversation without feeling like they are gasping for air.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">The benefits gained from LSD training are generally aerobic in nature. What this means is that an individual becomes more efficient at removing lactate, increases mitochondrial energy production and oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle, as well as become more efficient at using body fat stores as a fuel source. The increase in efficiency of using fat stores as a fuel source also spares muscle glycogen stores for more intense bouts of energy such as a hill sprint or end-of-race sprint.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Pace/Tempo Training</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Pace/Tempo training is at or exceeds an intensity that will be used in a race competition. This type of training is also known as "threshold training" as it is intended to push an individual to their lactate threshold (LT) throughout their entire session. Pace/Tempo training can either be steady or intermittent. In other words, either an entire 20-30 minute session is geared towards pushing the LT or shorter bouts or intervals can be used to push the LT.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">The goal with Pace/Tempo training is to increase the efficiency of both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems to improve overall stamina and performance.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Interval Training</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Intervals involve intense exercise that is close to an individual's VO2 Max that can last anywhere from 30 secs/interval to 5 minutes. Any intervals that last in the 3-5min range should have equal rest periods (1:1), also known as a work to rest ratio. Interval training is intended to increase an athlete's VO2 Max as well as anaerobic metabolism.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Repetition Training</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Similar to interval training, "REPS" are conducted at intensities greater than VO2 Max in work to rest ratios of 1:5. REPS work intervals should be in the 30-90 second time range, but due to their immense metabolic strain on the body, that is why longer rest periods need to be followed. The benefits here include faster speeds and enhanced exercise economy. This is the type of training an individual should use in order to improve their final leg of a race.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Fartlek Training</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">This is essentially a combination of all of the different types of training modes listed above. The idea here is to remove monotony associated with regular training, as well as creating race-like variables into a training session that would mimic the conditions found in a race such as hills, sprints, etc.</span></span><br />

We can break down training criteria into different subcategories that can be focused on. For example, an aerobic training program should include the following variables: Exercise Mode, Training Frequency, Training Intensity, Exercise Duration, and Exercise Progression.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">As with any training program, however, the program should be structured to the individual's needs. For example, one person may have a history of cycling, so their form or exercise economy does not need as much training. They may have been sedentary for months or years though, so more emphasis should be placed on aerobic conditioning.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">On the other hand, an individual may be very active with a wide variety of exercises but does not have a lot of experience running, and they wish to run their first marathon. In this case, not as much attention would need to be placed on their conditioning like the example above, but more time and emphasis placed on their running form and efficiency.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Exercise Mode</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Exercise mode refers to the specific activities an individual must train in to become better at their desired sport or event. Obviously, if one is to become a better runner, swimmer or cyclist, they would need to practice their desired event as that would be the ideal specificity training.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Having said that, there are numerous research studies that have been done showing the positive effect cross training can have on any athletic event. Cross training should try and involve as many of the desired body parts as possible though. For example, it would not be as effective for an athlete who is training for a cycling event to spend a lot of time on the bench press.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Training Frequency</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Training frequency refers to the number of training sessions an individual would have in a set period of time (usually a week). Many different variables can factor into planning an individual's training frequency such as their current fitness level as the less trained an individual is, the more recovery days they would require.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Sport season also influences the training frequency. A seasoned cyclist for example who is participating in an upcoming event may taper their number of training sessions per week.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">As with any training program, recovery days are just as important, if not more important than the working days. On recovery days, it is important for one to refuel their nutrient and hydration levels in order for their bodily systems and tissues to repair and recover. Studies have also shown an increase in performance after a rest or recovery period of a day or a few days, which is not all that surprising.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Training Intensity</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">For the most part, the longer a training session is, the less-intense it is and vice-versa. Our muscles consist of a combination of type 1 and type 2 muscle fibers. Type 1 fibers are more fatigue-resistant because their primary energy source is derived from aerobic metabolism, although they cannot create as much power as type 2 fibers can.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Type 2 muscle fibers are more intended for power and speed, although they do so by producing energy by means of anaerobic metabolism. As the intensity of any activity increases, the body begins to transition from mostly type 1 fiber recruitment to type 2, although this is never a black and white transition, there is always some time with overlap.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">By training both of these muscle fibers and their subsequent energy systems by using aerobic exercise, you are able to increase the fatigue-resistance of the type 2 fibers by training them to be more aerobically efficient. By doing so, you improve your overall aerobic performance.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">The trick to aerobic training is to not train too intensely because a training session would be cut too short, but to also not push the envelope too far, so to speak, as you would not be improving the efficiency of your energy systems.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">To date, there are a few different techniques that an individual can use in order to monitor their level of effort that I have listed below.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><u style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Heart Rate</u><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">One of the most widely-used methods of monitoring exertion due to its close relation to oxygen consumption. Most individuals have used methods of calculating a heart rate zone based on their theoretical max heart rate (%MHR). This can be done by subtracting your age from 220 and then multiplying it by a certain percentage or percentages to get a range.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">For example, for myself, since I am 26 years old, my %MHR would be:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">220 - 26 = 194</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">85% x 194 = 165</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Another heart rate calculation that is also widely-used due to its close proximity to %VO2Max is the Karvonen Method. This is done by first calculating your age-predicted max heart rate (220-age). You then subtract your resting heart rate from this number to get your heart rate reserve (HRR). You then take your HRR and multiply it by your desired exercise intensity and finally add your resting heart rate. Written out, for myself who wants to work at 85% intensity looks like this:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">220 - 26 = 194</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">HRR = 194 - 52 (resting heart rate) = 142</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">85% intensity = (142 x 0.85) + 52 = 173 beats/minute</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Exercise Duration</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Exercise duration simply refers to the amount of time an exercise session lasts. As mentioned previously, the more intense an individual works, the shorter the duration will be. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">For example, exercise that is conducted at an intensity above maximal lactate steady state (approx. 85% VO2 Max) will have a short duration of 20-30 mins. On the other hand, exercise that stays at a steady 70% of VO2 Max can last for an hour or more.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Exercise Progression</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">As with any type of physical training, aerobic exercise must also follow a progressive overload training style in order to continually challenge and therefore improve the body's performance.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Typically, exercise frequency, intensity, or duration or a combination of all three should be increased from week to week during a training block. Having said that, none of those three categories should be increased by more than 10% at any given time.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Once an individual has reached a sort of upper limit for a certain variable, you can then use the other 2 variables to continue progression. For example, if an individual only have 60 mins on any given day to train, they start at 30 mins of running, 4 days a week, with a 10% training increase each week, they will eventually reach their maximum of 60 mins sessions in a few weeks. You can then "cap" each session at 60 mins, but continue progression by increasing intensity.</span></span><br />

Aerobic endurance events, whether they involve running, swimming, cycling or a combination of the three, have a fixed distance that the participants attempt to complete in as little time as possible. Training at any capacity can help better an endurance athlete's time, but a properly structured program can yield even better results and can prevent over-training and even injury!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Maximal Aerobic Power</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Also known as VO2 Max, there is a strong correlation between an endurance athlete and their VO2 Max level. In basic terms, an individual who has high VO2 Max level can continue to meet the majority of their energy demands through aerobic metabolism. In other words, as the energy demands increase with time throughout an aerobic endurance event, a high VO2 can relate to increased performance for longer periods of time.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Athletes with a high VO2 Max generally have high endurance performance, although there are other factors that can be just as, if not more important such as a high lactate threshold, good exercise economy, and a high ability to use fat as a fuel source.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Lactate Threshold</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">As the body pushes into higher heart rate zones, and therefore transfers from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism, the body must clear away lactate from its muscles. The body eventually reaches a point in which it cannot clear lactate away as fast or faster than it is being produced. This is when you get that burning sensation in your muscles and extreme fatigue which is known as the lactate threshold. Aerobic endurance athletes with similar VO2 Maxes can have differences in performance based on their lactate thresholds.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Lactate thresholds can be trained and therefore improved which can improve aerobic endurance athlete performance. Aerobic athletes should therefore train various energy systems of their bodies in order to increase overall performance.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Exercise Economy</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Exercise economy can be defined as the amount of energy expended by an individual performing a specific task or action. Certain factors such as technique or body composition can effect exercise economy. A good example of how technique effects exercise economy would be high-level distance runners tend to have shorter strides with faster stride frequency compared to more amateur runners. An example of body composition factors would be high-level cyclists. Those that are lighter in weight and have low body fat percentages can maximize their muscular efficiency versus those that are carrying extra weight on their bikes and can therefore decrease performance.</span></span><br />

<br />
Well, it's official, I am heading to the <a href="http://www.coachsummit.com/" target="_blank">2013 Beachbody Coach Summit in Las Vegas</a>! This is my first ever Summit (just became a Coach in October 2012), but also my first ever trip to Vegas. Needless to say I am very excited!<br />
<br />
Summit offers a list of opportunities for me. First, I have a chance to meet some friends that I have connected with, through Beachbody as a medium, but only communicated with online. It will be a tremendous opportunity to meet some of these great people and have actual face-to-face conversations with them!<br />
<br />
Next, I should have a chance at meeting, and working out with, some fitness personalities that I have worked out with so many times in the past (Tony Horton, Sagi Kalev, Shaun T - I've actually met him at the Toronto Beachbody event).<br />

<br />
I will have an opportunity to take part in some vital training to help me grow my Beachbody business, and better serve my awesome team!<br />
<br />
Finally, I will be hearing about, and broadcasting, all of the latest and most up-to-date Beachbody news to all of you! Summit tends to be the place where Beachbody announces or launches many of their newest products and programs. I have heard through the grapevine that Shaun T's new program "Focus T25" launches at Summit, weeks before it is available to the regular public, just to give you an example.<br />
<br />
What does this mean for all of you? Well, if you are a part of my <a href="http://tylerrobbinsfitness.com/join-our-team/" target="_blank">team</a>, then you will get first notification on any news I gather while I am in Vegas. I will hopefully get a few minutes of free time during those crazy few days to post some news to all of you. Not only that, but as I said, I will be learning a lot of valuable training to help build not only my team, but all of my Coach's teams as well.<br />
<br />
Summit truly is the place to be for all things Beachbody, I am already counting down the days!<br />

<br />
I have been diagnosed with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_flutter" target="_blank">Atrial Flutter</a>.<br />
<br />
I am not entirely sure what caused this, or how long I have potentially known about it. I have my own theories and hypotheses based on my own life experiences, but I will keep those to myself as they are just that, hypotheses. I <i>will</i>, however, give you the story of what I know up until now.<br />
<br />
A few years ago, every one in a while, I would notice my heart doing funny things when I would be at rest. If I was sitting down, relaxed, watching tv or something, I randomly feel these 'flip-flops' with my heart, like it would skip a beat. Fine. Not a problem. They would usually be very short episodes, and I would forget about it just about as quickly as they would happen.<br />
<br />
Around the time I was first noticing these incidences was about the time I was training for my first half marathon, so I was in some of the best shape, cardio-wise, I had ever been in, so I just figured my heart would skip a beat because my resting heart rate was so low.<br />
<br />
The incidences began to happen a bit more frequently, but still not alarming to me. It wasn't until about a year ago now, at the start of 2012 that I decided to just casually mention it to my doctor during a physical. She checked me out, listened to my heart, explained that I may have a "pause" that can be perfectly normal, especially in healthy individuals, and sent me for some tests.<br />
<br />
I had various tests done (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecg" target="_blank">ECG</a>, ultrasound, etc.) and went and saw a local heart specialist. After seeing him, I had more tests done, all the while being reassured that my "pause" was fine, safe, and normal. I took a stress test, I wore a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holter_monitor" target="_blank">holter monitor</a> for two weeks, all the while still exercising and training without any problems at all.<br />
<br />
After my test results came back, I sat down the heart specialist again, and as it turned out at the time, I was safe and healthy as could be. I learned along my travels that people's hearts are actually more abnormal than most think. I also learned a heck of a lot about the pacing and electrical work of the heart (it really is quite an amazing piece of machinery!).<br />
<br />
All of the tests I had done have shown that my heart is healthy, there are no structural abnormalities or problems, I just seem to have this random beat every so often. In speaking with my dad, turns out, he started having similar experiences around the same age I was when I first started noticing them (27 years old). This leads me to believe that this 'thing' really is just a genetic fluke basically.<br />
<br />
For months I went about my daily life, training, exercising, doing the things I love with 'episodes' here and there, but knowing in the back of my mind that I am safe and it is normal, helped me not worry about the problem.<br />
<br />
However, for the past few months, my random heart "pauses" seem to have changed a bit, and I now have episodes from time to time where my heart not only "pauses" from time to time, it also skips and races a bit. It is not painful, but noticeable. It almost feels like my heart is a bowl of jelly and someone just shook the bowl. Hard to describe, but definitely a weird sensation.<br />
<br />
I decided to go get things checked out again, so back in I went for more tests, and back in to speak with the heart specialist again. My newest round of tests has shown that I have what is known as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_flutter" target="_blank">Atrial Flutter</a>. You can read all about atrial flutter on the linked Wiki page, but I will say that I have been reassured by the heart specialist yet again that this is actually quite a common, and safe condition, especially someone young and fit as I am.<br />
<br />
So what does this mean for me now?<br />
<br />
Well, naturally, I am heading for more tests in the coming weeks. Whenever you are dealing with the heart, doctors like to make sure they know <i>everything</i> there is to know about your heart, so that it keeps on tickin'. I will have a chest x-ray, stress test, another 72-hour holter monitor, etc. My doc even wants me to wear my holter monitor when I go for a run so that he can see what my heart function is like while exercising.<br />
<br />
From there, I am going to take my test results and go see a specific cardiologist known as an Electrophysiologist. Basically, they are cardiologists that specialize in the internal electrical work, especially with abnormal heart rhythms. After I see the electrophysiologist, I will then update you on where and what my next steps will be.<br />
<br />
I am scheduled to run Tough Mudder in May with my wife. I am still going ahead with this, as I have been cleared to exercise, but I <i>will</i> be opting-out of the electrical obstacles. When speaking with the heart specialist, he said that getting zapped at this event is not necessarily dangerous to my survival, he said that at this point in time, I should not be messing around with the electrical systems of my heart.<br />
<br />
What else can I take from all of this?<br />
<br />
The original heart specialist I saw has remarked time and time again how fit I am, and how much that has helped this whole situation. When I have episodes of "fluttering" with my right atria, it is possible for that section of my heart to race at a pretty high rate. Because I am fit, my heart itself has no problems taking on that kind of heart rate.<br />
<br />
Secondly, because of my health, I am at a <i>much</i> lower risk of blood clotting. When I have these episodes, there is the potential for pooling blood in my heart, which can increase the risk of clotting, for older or unfit individuals.<br />
<br />
In fact, when I have been in for my stress test, I get a good chuckle out of doing the stress test. If you have ever done a stress test before, you walk on a treadmill at increasing pace to deliberately stress your heart to a certain heart rate. Last time I was there, the test took far longer due to the fact that the test is designed for folks who aren't in as good of physical shape. The test I took, I was not allowed to run, only walk faster and faster. I actually reached a point where I could physically not walk fast enough to keep up with the pace of the treadmill...yet my heart rate had not reached the desired 175bpm or whatever I was aiming for, my heart was just too efficient!<br />
<br />
I am still ok to exercise! I have to admit, that was one of the first things that always goes through my mind when I am in speaking with the specialist or anyone surrounding my situation. I have grown to love exercise and training so much throughout my life and I honestly can't see myself handling <i>not</i> exercising very well. I have been told, however, to not completely push myself to the limit (aka, Insanity) but regular exercise is fine, at least until I get everything sorted out.<br />
<br />
So, I will still continue to train for my Tough Mudder in a few weeks. I will participate (skipping the shocking obstacles). Following Tough Mudder, however, I will most certainly be heading back to my own Body Beast concoction with just moderate cardio exercise thrown in, and will go take all of my required tests, and see the required specialists to make sure I am cleared to continue!<br />
<br />
As always, if you have any questions regarding any of this, please let me know or comment below. You may have a question regarding feeling something similar, so it never hurts to ask, and it NEVER hurts to get things checked out, so if you have any problems, go see your doctor.<br />
<br />
I will keep everyone updated as the rest of this story unfolds, so stay tuned!<br />

<br />
It really does make you wonder how far off your calorie counting is or could be. You may not realize it, but being off by 500 or so calories a day can add on some major pounds! I always try and recommend to people that they cook for themselves as much as humanly possible, but not only that, try and stick to real, whole foods with minimal ingredients. It is much easier to try and calculate how many calories are in an apple than a frappuccino at Starbucks...<br />

Hey Everybody!</div>
Welcome
to the month of April! Can you believe we are already into the second
quarter of 2013? March was a great month for me, not only personally
with my training, but it was also my most successful month as a
Beachbody Coach yet. I have to thank all of you, and welcome those new
team members. This company truly is great to be a part of, and it is
growing fast!</div>
This week's topics:</div>
1. If you haven't already, I highly recommend joining our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/132428243605195/" target="_blank">Accountability Group</a>.
This is a great place for people to post their workouts as well as any
questions/advice they can give. Studies have shown that most people are
successful staying active in a group atmosphere, and although many of us
prefer to exercise in the private confines of our homes, it is still
nice to be a part of a group with like-minded folks who want to motivate
and inspire each other.</div>
2. My March contest is over, and I want to congratulate Ben on
winning a 2-week supply of Shakeology. Ben, I have mailed your
Shakeology to you, hopefully you receive it by the end of the week! Keep
an eye out for more contests in the near future!</div>
3. The price of Chocolate and Greenberry Shakeology has
officially increased as of April 1st. The bright side here is that ALL
flavors and forms of Shakeology are now the same price, so for those of
you who are interested in the Vegan formulas don't have to worry about
paying extra as they are all the same price. Not only that, but just as
before, the cheapest way to get Shakeology is with the Coach discount,
so if you are considering purchasing Shakeology, speak to me about
becoming a Coach. I have heard upwards of 75% of Coaches out there are
Coaches simply for the discount alone! If you would like to <a href="http://tylerrobbinsfitness.com/request-a-shakeology-sample/" target="_blank">request a sample</a> (I still have some regular Chocolate samples) then e-mail me and I will send one out to you right away!</div>
4. During the month of April, the <a href="http://tylerrobbinsfitness.com/news/2013/4/1/beachbody-april-promotions" target="_blank">Insanity Challenge Pack is just $180</a>
(regular $205). Keep in mind that although the Challenge Pack alone is a
$25 savings, you are actually saving over $90 compared to if you were
to purchase all of the Challenge Pack items individually. Not only that,
but Beachbody is continuing the promotion that if you purchase a
Challenge Pack, you have the option to upgrade to "Coach Status"
absolutely free ($40 savings). That is over $130 worth of savings!</div>
5. I have officially passed the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOWKRQKgiNE" target="_blank">1 Million Youtube Views</a> mark! I want to thank all of you who have supported me by watching my videos.<br />

<strong>And 2 favors that I ask:</strong><br />
<strong>1) If you like the hard work I put into writing my blogs
and videos, PLEASE help me out by sharing them. Click the share links
below them and share them on FB, Twitter, etc. It really helps me get
more exposure and grow our team!</strong><br />
<strong>2) Also, as always, remember that the way I benefit from
being your coach is that I earn a commission from any Beachbody products
that you purchase, as long as you buy them through my site, <a href="http://tylerrobbinsfitness.com/" target="_blank">tylerrobbinsfitness.com</a>. It helps with the amount of time I spend answering all your
questions, writing my blogs, filming my videos, and helping you out. Thank you! I really appreciate it!</strong><br />

The variables are:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Exercise interval - duration (time) or distance</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Exercise order - sequence in which a set of reps is executed</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Exercise relief - work to rest ratio</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Frequency - number of training sessions in a given time period</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Intensity - effort at which each repetition is completed</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Relief or recovery interval - rest period between reps and sets</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Repetition - movement technique</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Series - group of sets and recovery intervals</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Set - group of reps and relief intervals</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Volume - amount of work (reps x sets) completed during a specific training session</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Short-Term Planning</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Fatigue is a natural occurring process of the human body that can effect performance long before complete failure happens. Individuals should use speed-endurance training to help train multiple metabolic systems in order to improve fatigue-resistance. As the body becomes better at being fatigue-resistant, special speed and agility skills can therefore be performed with greater efficiency.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">By using short, intense, exercise, an individual can target phosphagen energy systems and improve their recovery. Phophasgen systems are used in virtually all athletic movements as they are vital to explosive actions and movements. These types of short, intense efforts should be completed early on in a workout before other fatiguing exercises.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Medium-Term Planning</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Proper planning and design needs to be implemented into medium-term exercise program design. Research has shown that recovery efforts or growth from one form of exercise can inhibit or hinder the recovery of another form of exercise.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Long-Term Planning</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">As an athlete progresses through their training program, the speed or effectiveness of their progression may alter the direction of their future training.</span></span><br />

Once the proper mechanics begin to take hold, then an individual can increase speed to that, or exceeding that, of game speed.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Some mechanics we take for granted and may learn on our own throughout life, such as running or throwing a ball. Unfortunately, there may be flaws with the technique since some individuals may not have be given proper coaching on the specialized technique. In this case, proper technique can be introduced to the individual to help perfect form.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Secondary Methods</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Secondary methods involve sprint resistance and sprint assistance:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Sprint Resistance - Also known as an overload effect, the idea is to use resistance in some form to improve explosive strength and stride length. Examples of resistance that can be applied in such a situation would be gravity (running up a grade like stairs or a slope) or such apparatus such as parachutes or weighted vests.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Sprint Assistance - By using assistance techniques such as running downhill or a high-speed towing apparatus, the aim is to maintain proper running form but increase stride frequency.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Tertiary Methods</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Tertiary methods are broken down into mobility, strength and speed-endurance categories:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Mobility - Athletic tasks require specific ranges of motion (ROM). If an individual does not use their full mobility at a certain joint or limb, they can impact performance or even increase their likelihood of injury. For example, someone who is running, if there is not enough mobility at the hip joint, there could too much braking effect caused by the foot strike on the ground. Proper stretching and flexibility should be used by all to maintain proper range of motion.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Strength - In order for individuals to improve their speed and agility, their resistance training program should include explosive, quick movements. This does not necessarily mean that only light weights with high velocity should be used. Resistance training that targets a wide range of muscular fiber types should be employed.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Speed-Endurance - To train for speed-endurance events, athletes must use a wide variety of training styles including short-duration intense training as well as long-duration, less-intense exercises.</span></span><br />

When it comes down to it, all of us need calories to survive as they are the "energy currency" in our bodies to allow us to do </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">stuff</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">. Calories allow energy actions in our bodies to be performed such as thinking, breathing, pumping blood, digesting food, walking, etc. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">The problem most people run into is that they ingest too many calories, which are then stored as body fat as an evolutionary "backup plan". You see, our ancestors didn't always have a KFC sitting on the nearby corner, so they actually had times of famine. Our bodies store adipose (fat) tissue for when we are in need of energy when those hunting and gathering times aren't so good.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">People have to ingest calories in order to survive. Foods tend to contain other </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">things</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;"> in them such as nutrients that make them ideal for our calorie consumption. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats are all nutrient dense. What this means, is that healthy foods give you the most "bang for your buck". You want to aim to get as many nutrients and vitamins in your body through natural sources as possible, while keeping your calorie count low, in order to maximize your metabolism and keep your weight down, while maintaining good health.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Liquid calories can therefore be a major pitfall for a lot of the population. Virtually all sources of beverages that people consume (other than water) have high calorie counts, with very little nutrient payoff. Take sodas for example, most of these beverages can contain anywhere from 8-10 </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">teaspoons</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;"> of sugar....per can! Visually picture yourself scooping 10 teaspoons of sugar into a can, then filling the rest with water. There doesn't leave much room for water, let alone </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">any</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;"> vitamins or nutrients.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Believe it or not, sodas can actually play a part in a person's diet, that is if they are a highly active person. Take, for example, a marathon runner. If they were to drink a can of soda before a race, that sugar would be digested and burned off in no time from their high activity level. Most people, however, sit down and enjoy a can with a high-calorie meal while watching tv. Those calories coming from the sugar in the soda are either used right away for high-energy activity (which they aren't) or are packed away for future use (aka, body fat).</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Alright, fine, let's give up soda. Many people have taken this pledge (including myself) to give up soft drinks, so now what? I find milk to be a good alternative, but watch your nutritional labels. Milk is high-calorie because it contains fat and protein as well as natural and added sugars. You may be surprised at how much sugar is in your glass of milk. Look at the sugar count per cup (250mL), in grams, of milk, and you may be surprised how much is actually in there. Not only that, as you get closer to skim milk, or in other words, less fat, companies add in even </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">more</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;"> sugar in order to make sure the taste stands up. I personally like to enjoy either 1 or 2% milk in moderation as milk can provide a lot of vitamins and nutrients such as calcium!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Alright, so milk is a nice substitute for soda, but keep it in moderation. How about fruit juices then? Many companies are jumping on this bandwagon so to speak as they are finding the need to produce what the public is asking for. I will just come out and say it, fruit juices can be just as bad, if not worse than sodas. They can be very high in sugar with potentially little to no nutrients left. The act of processing fruit juices to get the product to your grocery shelf can remove many of the nutritional benefits of the product, not to mention the removal of fiber, which is helpful in slowing the digestion of eating fruit whole. Try and stick to real fruit juices that have no added sugars, and often times, you can "cut" the juice by filling half a glass of juice with the other half water and still enjoy the flavor, minus all of those extra calories.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Coffee is actually zero-calorie. There are numerous health benefits to drinking coffee that have been reported in the recent past. Let's face it, coffee is one of the most widely-consumed beverages in human history, so it is no surprise that it is also one of the most widely-researched (pros and cons). I could write an entire blog on coffee consumption, which I can in the future, but for now, you can make your own conclusions on this. Chances are, if you are currently a coffee consumer, I may not change your mind either way, and vice versa. Just keep this in mind, coffee can suddenly become very high-calorie by adding too much cream, sugar, or flavored coffees to the mix. If you can handle black coffee, that is the best, but I understand some people like to add some sugar and (I recommend) milk to help the taste, so 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar in your coffee in the morning will not make or break your diet assuming you are ingesting a well-rounded diet throughout the day.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Alcohols, like soda, are nutritional bombs. Just to give you an idea of calorie breakdowns, and where our dietary energy comes from; fats are 9 calories/gram, proteins and carbohydrates are 4 calories/gram, and alcohol is 7 calories/gram. Fats, proteins, and carbohydrates are generally packaged with nutrients and dietary benefits when they are consumed, whereas alcohol is essentially useless in the body and is just used as energy. Yes, like coffee, there have been many studies done on alcohol trying to prove or disprove its need in the human diet. I will say that there appears to be some health benefits to having a drink now and then to help relax, and lower blood pressure, but many people do not stick to their daily recommended intake. Not only is alcohol itself high-calorie, but most people do not drink alcohol on its own, they mix it with sodas or drink it as beer or wine, which can all heighten those calorie counts.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">I find it so discouraging to see some people that are trying so hard to exercise and eat somewhat respectively, but then literally pour away their potential health benefits and gains by consuming large quantities of calories through needless liquid sources. The human body has evolved to feel "full" from eating solid foods. We do not get that same response from drinking our calories, which I think plays a part in the consumption of large numbers of calories being consumed. If people were to make a switch to drinking just water, milk (in moderation), and tea (zero-cal green teas, etc.), they could literally cut hundreds of calories out of their diets every day which that switch alone can account to pounds lost over months and years!</span></span><br />

I have an online friend who is dealing with an injury right now and is in need of surgery. He is pretty down about having to take a bit of time off doing what he loves doing - exercising. I sent him this to help cheer him up. It is a great message from Tony!<br />

In more specific terms, it encompasses an individual's ability to use speed, power and coordination to cover dynamic, power, and fine motor skills. The NSCA defines some agility terms below:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Adaptive ability - adapting to an action or sequence in anticipation to changing conditions.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Balance - static and dynamic equilibrium.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Combinatory ability - coordinating body parts or a combination of body parts to created a coordinated action or movement.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Differentiation - accurate, economical adjustment of body movements and mechanics.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Orientation - spatial and temporal control of body movements.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Reactiveness - quick, well-directed response to stimuli.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Rhythm - observation and implementation of dynamic motion pattern, timing and variation.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">To generalize, agility deals with an athlete or individual's ability to control acceleration, maximum-velocity as well as multidirectional skills.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Skill Classification</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Skill classification can be broken down into 3 categories; General vs. Special Skills, Closed vs. Open Skills, and Continuous vs. Discrete vs. Serial Skills.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><u style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">General vs. Special Skills</u><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">General agility tasks target the development of one or more basic coordinative skills. Special tasks would then unify or combine general skills or tasks into more specific movements. Special skills are more related to specific practice specificity for an action or sport skill.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><u style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Closed vs. Open Skills</u><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Closed skills are those in which there are predetermined and unchangeable variables. In these types of training modes, the athlete or individual has predictable or stable environments. Examples of a closed agility skill would be a timed T-test or agility drill. An open skill would be one that has unpredictable or unstable factors involved. Examples would be real-time sport games or practices such as a football running back dodging a defender or a baseball player fielding a ground ball.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><u style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Continuous vs. Discrete vs. Serial Skills</u><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Continuous tasks have no definite beginning or end. Discrete is the opposite of continuous as they have a very defined beginning and end (100m sprint). Then, serial tasks are a number of discrete tasks completed in sequence.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Change in Velocity</b><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">Many sports or athletic activities require a specific change in velocity. Sure, there are many variations dependent on the type of sport or activity, the number of players in the field of play and even differences in playing surface but all changes in velocity have a few things in common.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 21px;">I find velocity changes to be one of the most important and crucial tasks to perform in order to be considered "agile". Changes in velocity typically involve an initial velocity, a deceleration, and change in direction, and then another increase in velocity (acceleration).</span></span><br />
