Training Tips


So it's nearly the end of summer. Cooler weather, colorful leaves, & yes - the DRD are all just right around the corner. I know, I know, you've been promising yourself since early April that you were gonna get out there and start training. Running, jumping rope, lifting the occasional dumbell... Sure, that was back around Easter but since then Premiership soccer, the Euro's, the beach, the Phillies & now Olympic beach volleyball have all conspired to keep you comfortably ensconsed in that leather and aptly named Lazy-Boy chair in your living room. And yeah...the fact that you don't have a few hurdles, a discus, & a woman's shotput laying around the house hasn't helped matters any.

So those April aspirations have not really materialized into anything more concrete than the occasional 20 minute fun-run 'round the neighborhood & a wiffle ball game with your little cousins. Sound familiar?


Well, if there is a ring of truth to the above scenario than this next series of blog posts is for you.
