Something that I try to impress on my kids is the importance of being able to admit when you are wrong and make a change. Too often we spend our time trying to justify why we do what we do rather than trying to challenge it and see if it holds up. But that isn't how we grow. There is a saying about how there is a difference between 10 years of experience and the same year of experience repeated 10 times. For too many people they end up repeating the same things over and over and never really grow or gain experience. One of the areas in my life where this is most apparent is training. I've been working out for over 35 years, I've been a professional trainer for over 20 years and I've been working with mountain bikers since 2005. And in that time you better believe that I've made some mistakes and learned some valuable lessons. In this podcast I wanted to share some of those lessons with you. Hopefully you can learn from some of these mistakes and avoid the same problems I ran into. You can stream this episode or download the MP3 file by clicking the link below. You can also find the podcast on Itunes, Podbean, Spotify and all other major podcasting platforms. You can also read a summary article from the notes for the podcast below… Not doing any “isolation” or “bodybuilding”/ Focusing too much on “functional training” I've talked about this a lot lately but something I've been doing more of in the last few years is more isolation and bodybuilding type training. I came up at an interesting time in the strength and conditioning field where we were making the switch from bodybuilding to Functional Training. The problem is that you need “isolation” exercises - which build isometric strength and joint strength - and you need bodybuilding type training to build and hold onto muscle mass. You can train like a bodybuilder and still be functional if you are doing other stuff outside of the gym. Plus, as you get older muscle mass becomes a valuable commodity and needs to be trained for. Using too much unstable surface training This is one I haven't been using for a while but back in the day I was really into unstable surface training. I was around when the Swiss Balls first got introduced to the fitness field through a guy named Paul Chek. The rationale behind UST seemed good and I ended up with every size Swiss Ball you could get and used them for just about everything. The problem was that I couldn't get strong or add size, I just got better at balancing on things while lifting weights. Several studies have shown that UST lowers motor unit recruitment, results in lower strength and muscle gains and have very limited carryover to other activities. In other words, it may look cool on Instagram but the results are lacking. Giving too much weight to strength training This is a common mistake with new strength coaches. I had seen how getting stronger had helped me and so it made sense that getting stronger would make you a better athlete. I had literally tried to talk some of my athletes into skipping sport training so they wouldn't miss strength training. The problem is that strength training is only the most important thing you can do if you are really weak, and even then your sport training should still take precedence. The only thing that will make you a better mountain biker is time on the bike and strength training is supposed to support that, not take away from it. Thinking that Long Slow Distance training was a waste of time This is a bit of a tricky one because context matters a lot here. One of the first things I got known for in the MTB world was advocating for the use of High Intensity Intervals instead of Aerobic Base Training for MTB. Back in 2005 this was unheard of since roadie training programs dominated the scene. A lot of riders who followed these programs felt that they weren't actually in shape for training riding when the season started and they had to ride themselves into specific MTB shape for a few weeks. Something else that we observed was that riders from areas where they could ride trails year round (SoCal and Australia for example) were some of the best in the world. Riding counts as cardio training and doing so much distance riding on a road bike that you don't get time on your mountain bike isn't the best idea. But if you aren't trail riding much then you do need to have some distance training in your program. Long Slow Distance training is also good for recovery and your basic metabolic health. So if you are getting several hours of riding in each week then you can use LSD for recovery and if you aren't then you need to have it as part of your overall cardio training program. Changing exercises too often Something that carried over from Bodybuilding to Functional Training was the idea of “muscle confusion” or the need to change your exercises on a frequent basis so the body couldn't fully adapt to what you were doing, which was supposed to keep you from hitting a plateau and seeing constant improvements from your training. In fact, one style of training emerged that became very popular - Crossfit - which was based on this idea to the extreme and you never repeated the same workout twice in a row. Even for those of us who subscribed to the idea that you needed more consistency than changing things every day I still would change exercises every 4 weeks. While the theory behind it seemed solid, science and real world evidence suggest that there is a middle ground that is much longer than most of us realize. One thing that changed my thoughts on this was when I did Jim Wendler's 5-3-1 Program and saw that NOT changing exercises very often had benefits as well. The 5-3-1 Program is a powerlifting program that has you doing the same basic exercises for months at a time. Change comes from how you cycle the weights and reps in a very specific way in order to increase your strength in the lifts. The fact that you don't change exercises means that you get a lot of practice with the lifts, which also helps with building strength. Eventually you run into a wall with your progressions and have to switch things up but that takes months, during which you are doing the same basic exercises but still seeing results, which shouldn't happen if you needed to change exercises to keep progress coming. It turns out that you should run on at least a 6-8 week cycle to get the most out of an exercise. Now I'll pick a core exercise for each of the 4 basic movement patterns (push, pull, hinge and squat) and do an 8 week cycle with them. I'll have other exercises that I do that I will change up after 4 weeks if I'm maxing out on them or if I just want to do something new. I'll start out well under my max effort and build momentum into those max efforts in the final weeks of the cycle. I'll end with a deloading week where I cut back on the sets and reps but try to get at least 90% of my max lift for the movement in week 8. Changing exercises is entertaining and it makes you feel sore but it doesn't allow time for you to really get the most out of the exercises. IMO, it's also safer and easier on the joints since your body gets a chance to get used to the exercises and find a groove for them, which feels safer and easier than grinding through new lifts all the time. Discounting the value of stretching Stretching became a bit of a dirty word in the Functional Training world due to some studies that showed a decrease in strength and power immediately following static stretching. The cool thing to do was “mobility training”, which tended to focus on movements through a joint's range of motion. While helpful, I've found that mobility training can't fully replace static stretching. Stretching isn't about trying to lengthen muscles or loosen joints, it is about being able to relax into positions and working on getting deeper into your range of motion until you are in the range you need for function and safety. For me it is also a form of breathwork since you use my breathing to help me relax and get deeper into my range of motion. Mobility training helps with being able to move through and control your range of motion and stretching seems to help you improve and maintain it better.I recommend picking a basic stretch for the major muscle groups and hold them for either 15-20 seconds or for 5 breaths. Focus on using your breathing to help you relax - if you don't get any deeper but your breathing is more relaxed then you have accomplished something important. Overhyping kettlebells This is going to sound sacrilegious so let me explain what I mean by this. Kettlebells are a great training tool and I still use them a lot in my training. I just went so far down the kettlebell rabbit hole that I started to discount the value of other training tools, especially the dumbbell. The truth is that you can do everything you can do with a kettlebell using a dumbbell, plus you can do some things you can't do as easily like Cheat Curls. Some exercises like the Single Arm DB Snatch are also easier to do than the KB version of the exercise. I also find that pressing exercises with the KB hurt my elbows - I know, it doesn't make sense until you've abused your elbows like I have - and so using DBs makes it possible to lift more weight and do it more comfortably for my joints. Finally, you can get a good pair of adjustable dumbbells for a few hundred dollars - I recommend and use the PowerBlock style - while getting pairs of KBs costs more and takes up more space, making DBs a great option for smaller spaces. I still use KBs for swings, lower body lifts and rowing exercises as I find them to be great tools for these purposes. I just find that some people think that using dumbbells is somehow inferior to kettlebells and that is simply not the case. Until next time… Ride Strong, James Wilson p.s. BTW, I have a DB program that uses the best MTB specific dumbbell exercises and combines it with the concepts I talked about in the 5-3-1 program. You stick with the same exercises but cycle the weights over the 12 weeks to build strength and efficiency in the movements that really help on the bike. This is one of my best programs for riders who are new to strength training or just want a super simple, highly effective workout program using a pair of dumbbells. And as a bonus, if you purchase the MTB DB Conditioning Program this week I'll send you a free copy of my Guide To Better Breathing For MTB. Just send me an email with your receipt and I'll get it to you. Click on the link below to learn more and get your copy of the DB Conditioning Program today. This was the first program I sent to Aaron Gwin when we started working together and if it can help him ride faster then I'm sure it can help you too! MTB DB Conditioning 12 Week Program
Sur les réseaux sociaux, de nombreux préparateurs physiques, masseurs kinésithérapeutes et autres professionnels du sport proposent des exercices de prévention des entorses. Des exercices uniquement à l'aide de Swiss Ball, ou même de Bosu, ces grosses boules ou demi-sphères sur lesquelles on se met en équilibre.Les personnes qui postent ce genre d'exercices estiment que nous devrions entraîner notre articulation à travailler sur des surfaces instables. A la manière d'un équilibriste, et cela dans le but d'améliorer les performances proprioceptives de l'articulation.Mais nos chevilles et autres articulations seront-elles sauvées grâce ces exercices de prévention lors d'un risque d'entorse ? Est-ce vraiment une défaillance proprioceptive de se faire une entorse ? Et d'ailleurs: comment définir la proprioception ?

In this episode Justin talks about how lonely, bored and alone he felt for years after deciding that he needed to make significant changes in his life. He shares how he had a strict Christian upbringing and had little confidence growing up. When he moved and was looking to meet new people, he would go out to the casino and the bar. Once he started to grow his social circles and get attention, his confidence grew and he says he exploited this. His social circle grew quickly, he knew everyone, felt invincible and unstoppable. He would start to wake up from nights where he would get blackout drunk, as often as 4-5 nights a week. There was an event that took place one of these drunken nights that was the catalyst for a change. Justin needed to change his social circles and his habits so that he was able to reach the potential that deep down he knew that he had and had been wasting. He shares how he has turned his life around and how he is on a never ending journey to keep reaching even further potential.Justin Rille is a personal trainer of over 11 years who works out of his own training studio and has been online coaching nutrition and habit/mindset clients for over 15 years. He has also been spending his last 5 years in the States and Sweden studying neuroscience, in an effort to help people reduce their pain and move better instantly, through brain based training. Having done over 15 bodybuilding shows and 11 surgeries, he has many lessons in discipline, healthy habits, positive mindset and learning how to overcome adversity! He is a brand new Dad and is enjoying spending his days with his 3 month old son, Stone Bodhi Rille!Follow Justin on InstagramFollow Justin on Facebook
Greetings and salutations, listeners. I am so excited for today's show, the guest is none other than Paul Chek. I have been a student of Paul's for a few years now, and I am so grateful and honored he has taken time to speak to my audience. Paul Chek has been an exercise coach for over three and a half decades, but he is much more than someone who can tell you how to do a Swiss Ball crunch. Paul has hundreds of hours of YouTube videos that detail everything from proper relationship to coffee, to numerous strength exercises, to thoughts on mediation and stone stacking, to the history of pornography, and many other topics. Paul is the founder of the Chek Institute in Encinitas, California where he and his instructors teach classes on Holistic Lifestyle Coaching, Four Quadrant Coaching Mastery, Integrated Movement Science, in addition to numerous other programs. I am currently studying in Paul's Academy which is a multi-year program that takes the student through every class he teaches and I have found it to add to, expand and challenge my own coaching programs in numerous ways. Paul's programs are about far more than teaching an athlete to move well; through years of therapy Paul has learned to apply a psycho-spiritual model to coaching in order to more completely serve and heal the client. Paul has had experience as a member of the US Army boxing team, as a massage therapist, he has repaired weapons systems on Cobra helicopters, introduced the Swiss Ball into the gym, is a former professional triathlete, is a licensed Native American Medicine Practitioner who has led over four hundred shamanic journeys.

The race for the Champions League places hots up as everything else cools off... Part 1 Last Tuesday saw the end finally come for Alan Pardew's eight year contract, signed as Newcastle manager way back in 2012. Pardew left the club in 2014, and in that time led Crystal Palace to an FA Cup final, brought his West Brom players on holiday to Spain where they would steal a taxi during a drunken night out while getting relegated in the process and fled to the Netherlands, where he survived relegation with ADO Den Haag due to the cancellation of the Dutch league because of the pandemic sweeping the planet. Hello and welcome to the Total Football podcast, I am your host Declan Harte, and joining me is Andrew Conway. Andrew, is it fair to say this eight year contract… didn't work out for Newcastle? Part 2 Man City had a mixed week, winning 4-0 against Liverpool, salvaging some pride in the lost title race. But they followed this up with their ninth league defeat of the season, away at Southampton. In between this they also announced the departure of Leroy Sane to Bayern Munich for 50 million euros. Chelsea lost to West Ham, a dismal performance against David Moyes' side who had yet to score since the restart. Tottenham began the week with their 3-1 loss to Sheffield United. What did you make of their performance? Arsenal continued their winning ways, with two good performances against Norwich and Wolves. Part 3 The race for the Champions League positions has seen many ups and downs this season. Right when the picture appears clearer than ever, a stray stroke muddies the painting. Our canvas currently looks messy, but with only three weeks of Premier League action remaining, soon the frame will be centre stage of the Lake Geneva Museum. While Man City aren't allowed past the entrance, for now, who will join Liverpool in reveling in their Swiss ball swirling around some former legendary player's hand come next year's group stage draw? Part 4 Three weeks and five games to go before the season closes, the final league table has really taken shape. But there are still a few things left to decide. Most notably that top 5 race we just discussed. Coming up this week there's Chelsea's visit to Crystal Palace, Leicester's trip to the Emirates, Wolves' match against Sheffield United and Man United's away day at Aston Villa. Weird that they're all away from home this week, really ran out of ways to say one team goes to another team's stadium there… Closing Contact us: @thetfpod on Twitter and @totalfootballpod on Instagram or email us at theTFpod@gmail.com Remember to rate/review the show on your podcast provider of choice and do tell friends and family about the show.

In this episode: Training myths that have a tinge of truth, rethink snack time with nutritious snacks you may not know about and realistic time management! NUTRITIONHere's few high protein, healthy snacks that will have you saying:“I didn't know that was an option!” Lentils I know you’re thinking: “Lentils?!” Lentils are great protein-packed legumes that are easy to turn into super, shelf-stable salads. One cup has a whopping 22 grams of protein in just 300 calories! Not sure where to start? Try this recipe for lentil tabbouleh or this simple veggie and lentil mix. Easy Oatmeal Raisin CookiesA quick and easy sweet snack recipe that's still healthy! In a microwave-safe bowl (or large mug): mix 1/4 cup oats, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour (of your choice), 1 egg white, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon raisins. Flatten mixture into bottom of bowl and microwave on high for 45 seconds. Cool, pop it out of the bowl, and enjoy!Chocolate MilkDid you know that chocolate milk is actually a great source of high-quality protein?!(especially post-workout). Try keeping a single-serving, shelf-stable box in your gym bag or backpack for snack attack emergencies—just try to find one that’s also low in sugar!Single-serve cottage cheeseGreek yogurt may have some high protein versions, but a single-serving container of nonfat cottage cheese has 3 grams more protein than a typical serving of Greek yogurt and is just 110 calories. Plus, it gives you 125 milligrams of bone-building calcium. (Keep in mind, though, it runs high in sodium, supplying 20 to 30% of your daily quota.) Hard boiled eggAlthough eggs used to be considered a nutritional no-no due to their high cholesterol content, we know better than that today! Most nutritionists now agree that eggs are a powerhouse breakfast or snack when enjoyed in moderation. In addition to protein, the humble egg gives you a hearty dose of vitamin D and vitamin B-12 for just 77 calories apiece. Best part: they're easy to take on the run—just remember to peel them before you go to make eating them on your commute a snap. Even better: some convenience and grocery stores sell hard boiled eggs in packages of two, so they're a snap to snatch up when traveling. Protein: 6 grams per egg! TRAININGHere's a few training myths that sound like they might be true, but aren't completely accurate!Myth #1: You need a Swiss Ball to build a stronger chest and shoulders.If your goal is strength and size you'll want to focus on good old fashioned bench exercises and presses in particular like chest press and shoulder press. You can get strength gains from a Stability Ballchest workout, but not as much as you would on a stable surface. The Stability Ball is great for variety, to work the chest and core simultaneously and help train some of the stabilizer muscles of the shoulder. Of course, when training chest on the Stability Ball, you 'll use less weight than on a bench, but you get t hose added benefits. That's why this myth has a tinge of truth, the Stability Ball is a great way to mix up (or cycle thru) your training, avoid boredom and train your chest and shoulders differently. It's always good to focus on bench versions for strength. For ab training don't expect your chest exercises to do it all. You'll get some action, but you'll still want to do your Stability Ball crunches to create the nice line of abdominals.Bottom line: mix it up, it's all good!Myth #2: Always work out with free weights.Free weights are certainly king of exercise, but occasionally, machines can build muscle better. For example, you may need to isolate specific muscles after an injury, or if your stabilizer muscles are too weak to perform a certain exercise, or if you are just too inexperienced to perform a free weight exercise and need help reinforcing the proper form. The majority of your training should be with free weights. Why? Because they allow a greater range of motion which enables your muscles and joints to stretch and strengthen through a greater range. Thus, keeping your joints more healthy. A newbie would begin on machines to learn proper form. Remember, machines mimic real world movements and free weight exercises too. A leg press can help you learn how to use your glutes and quads the way you would for a squat. The lat pulldown can help develop the muscles and motion for pullups. Machines have their place, but if you are a seasoned lifter, free weights are your best tools to build strength or burn fat.WHAT MYTHS DO YOU HEAR? Or should I say what fitness statements have you confused? Please email me or post on Facebook or message me on twitter!MOTIVATIONRealistic Time Management!Time always seems to be in high demand! Calendars on the computer and our phones are great if we use them! But there is some benefit in paper and pen planning! How often do you take that 10 minutes from your day to plan the rest of it? In this section I'll share with you some of the top tips I learned in time management!Tip #1: Be conscious of timeBe conscientious of amount of computer/TV/Internet/gaming time. Personally, I never get TV/internet gaming time. My internet time is always work or research. But I know even with that,Time spent browsing even if it is work related can be one of the biggest drains on productivity. How do you fix this? Become more aware of how much time you spend on computer and/or internet activities.By simply seeing how much time you spend doing something, you'll be able to change habits and reduce the time wasted. As always, awareness is half the battle! The next tips goes hand in hand with this one! Tip # 2: Set boundariesSet a time limit in which to complete a task. Setting a time constraint will force you to focus and be more efficient, even if you don't complete the task.I know there has been plenty of times when I have the mindset of “I’m going to be here until this is done,” and yet when I actually have to stop to go do something else, then return to the task at hand, it always goes faster and easier. The break gives your mind a chance to recharge and then apply itself better when you return.So, Instead of getting into a project and thinking,“I’m going to be here until this is done,”rethink that line to be,“I’m going to work on this for ____amount of time”.And then set a timer! Use your phone! Yup there are great timers that come with it! See the clock function! It may be difficult to pull away at first, but like any habit, with perfect practice it gets easier. After the first few times, your mind will recognize that the break does it good and helps it be more productive. You'll have faith that stopping is ok, beneficial and is going to make your task/project easier and faster to complete!Tip #3: Reset your brainDon't rush from one task to another. Leave a buffer-time between tasks. Take a few seconds for your brain to clear and reset itself for the next task at hand. This doesn't have to be a whole mediation process, just a brief walk around the room or outside will do. Having a drink of water and looking outside at nature can help your mind reset and be able to stay focused and motivated. Three Success Tip Summary:Evaluate and/or keep track of time spent that is unproductive. Set a time limit for certain tasks (and stick to the rules!) Leave a time between tasks for your mind to reset!As I say this, I realize that I am guilty of not doing the above “rules” most of the time.....so time for me to make some new habits! NEWSRetro, Vintage & Custom Jewelry at jewelryretro.comI am adding some of the custom jewelry that my daughter and I have designed to the website: jewelryretro.com.

There's still much to add for both retro, vintage, custom and motivational (as you've seen at the proshop) jewelry!What's the best web design?In case you ever wonder why the look of my sites changes semi frequently or more than others, it's because I really want to have one home page that provides easy to understand links to all my other sites. It's proving to be a challenging proposal!In the one sense, I'd like to see an icon, description and click through for the different sites, but on the other hand, I like a home page that has regular content changes (ie additions or rotating stories)...oh what to do!Here's what I want you to do: Send me your thoughts on whether you'd like to see one main page that has all my site links and info on them or if you'd rather see a main page that has regular content changes, more like a magazine website.You know the drill!

Available On: iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | Spotify Paul Chek is a holistic health practitioner, a.k.a. "a healer." He developed a knack for it quite by accident about 30 years ago, when his teammates on the US Army boxing team found that they felt better and healed faster after having him work on them. He went on to study healing arts for the majority of two decades all over the world. He didn't leave a stone unturned, learning from as many different types of healers possible, in as many different modalities. As a result, he developed an innate capacity to heal others - especially when traditional methods didn't work. He's also known for having been largely responsible for first introducing the Swiss Ball to the world as an exercise tool for rehab, corrective exercise, and training. In an effort to reach more people with his vast knowledge base and experience, he founded the CHEK Institute where he teaches his methods and philosophies to health practitioners from all over the world. His programs and approach, addressing the foundational root causes of a problem, have literally changed the lives of thousands of his clients, his students, and their clients. Paul is currently a sought-after international presenter and consultant for companies like the Chicago Bulls, Australia’s Canberra Raiders, and the US Air Force Academy. He has also produced over 60 DVDs and 17 advanced-level home study courses and has had articles featured in Wall Street Journal, Men’s Health, Glamour magazine as well as TV and radio. His book, The Golf Biomechanics Manual and course are PGA-approved, and have been adopted for use by professional golf schools, as well as featured on the Golf Channel. Paul is a registered Native American Spirit Guide and Medicine Man with the Nemenhah Band (people of the truth) and Native American Traditional Organization (NAC) where he initiates a process of awakening comprehensive healing through sacred ceremony. From Andy: This was an especially meaningful conversation for me as Paul was one of my first mentors in the fitness industry (I went through many of his correspondence courses and three of his certifications). Paul's ability to assess disease states down into their foundational elements, and then to create a healing program addressing them is one of his truly great gifts, as his willingness to teach it to thousands of practitioners around the world. His contribution to the world of health and healing is massive. I especially loved the part of this podcast where we talk about how he's boiled down everyone's everyday health to what he calls "The Last 4 Doctors You'll Ever Need" - Dr. Happiness, Dr. Movement, Dr. Quiet, and Dr. Diet.

Born and raised in the windy city, Chris Michals played shortstop for a community college in Chicago named Oakton. In 2007, his freshman year, he was overridden by a division 1 transfer and often found himself on the bench as a platoon infielder, despite putting up good numbers. He decided at that point to leave the team and focus on school only to return in 2010. Upon finding that the team was lacking in pitching and talent was still deep in the infield, he quickly taught himself how to pitch. To the shock of his coaches and teammates, Michals not only made the starting rotation, he went 7-0 that season and only had one no-decision on route to leading his team to the 2010 Sectional Championship, sending Oakton Community College to it's first final four in school history. Post college Michals took a job as a baseball instructor. While at work, he discovered the opportunity to play baseball in Europe through a fellow instructor who had just returned from a stint playing pro ball in Slovakia. Michals was at first skeptical about the idea of playing baseball in Slovakia but after a few months he found himself intrigued and soon signed a contract to play with the Trnava Angels of Slovakia for the upcoming 2012 season.
