What are YOU training for

on December 8, 2009 | by

With the New Year right around the corner, the question begs to be asked: What are YOU training for? Are you in a fat loss mode? Do you need some corrective exercise to help clean up your posture and movement? Are you trying to get bigger or stronger? Do you even know what you’re currently […]

Random Saturday

on December 5, 2009 | by

As you can tell, I didn’t get around to posting a blog yesterday. With Wayne coming on in the mornings you’d THINK I have more time on my hands, but it doesn’t feel that way just yet. Regardless, here’s some stuff to keep you entertained while drinking coffee on your Saturday morning! – My Interview […]

An IFAST Testimonial

on November 30, 2009 | by

While revising the IFAST Website this weekend, I got an amazing testimonial from one of our former clients, Aaron Cunanan. Rather than mince his words, I’ll just give you the testimonial. I moved back to the Indianapolis area in January 2009. I was in between jobs and had a lot of free time on my […]

Random Friday 11-27

on November 27, 2009 | by

It feels as though I’ve been slacking a bit on the blog lately, so I figure the least I can do is pull together some content before the weekend rolls around! – I’m working on a new series for the blog; not sure what it’s going to be titled yet, but the basic “theme” there […]

Happy Thanksgiving

on November 26, 2009 | by

So I’ve been told that not everyone is on Facebook, and/or they don’t check their Facebook everyday. With that being said, here’s a quick cut/paste job from yesterday’s Facebook status: Things to be thankful for this year: 1) Amazing family and friends (this includes all my amazing blog/newsletter readers as well!), 2) Healthy mind and […]

Exercise of the Week: Prone Row to External Rotation

on November 24, 2009 | by

The prone row to external rotation is a simple, yet effective exercise for improving scapular stability and external rotator strength at the shoulder. At IFAST, we often use these in the early stages of training to improve motor control. Once motor control is improved, all the “big-bang” exercies like dumbbell rows, chest supported rows, PNF […]

Break the Routine

on November 19, 2009 | by

Here’s a simple tip that I’ve used over the years to increase my productivity: Do absolutely, positively, whatever it takes to break your routine for one week. It’s amazing – as soon as I break my routine up a bit, my creativity soars. All of a sudden, taking a step back or away from the […]

Coaching Parallels

on November 18, 2009 | by

I witnessed an interesting phenomenon the other day. It was the day after the Colts game, and my wife and I were getting some things done around the house. We left the TV on over the course of the day, and fortunately for me, it was on Sportscenter. Now unless you’ve been living under a […]

Miscellaneous Monday 11-16

on November 16, 2009 | by

I can barely put together a single coherent thought today, so rather than fight it I’ll do my best to make up for my lack of a random post on Friday. So, without any further ado, here’s Miscellaneous Monday! – There is only one word for that game last night: EPIC. In all honesty, it […]

Exercise of the Week: Crossover Step-ups

on November 12, 2009 | by

In this week’s edition of “Exercise of the Week,” we’re going to feature a new favorite at IFAST: The crossover step-up. Now before everyone begins spewing hate and calling me a “functional” guy, I like this exercise for a few reasons: – It trains the hips to move into internal and external rotation.

Where do YOU find inspiration?

on November 11, 2009 | by

In our industry, it’s easy to become jaded or callous. Whether it’s over-the-top marketing, outrageous claims, or simply a glass-is-half-empty mindset, I’m constantly asking myself questions: How can I stay motivated? How can I continue to be inspired? Here are several strategies I’ve used in the past. Hopefully one or two of them will work […]
