So here it is….Monday morning in Austin, TX, and I decide to ride my 1982 Honda Passport to work today.  Boy, was that a wrong decision! I didn’t realize how windy it was til I was 5 minutes away from my house and it was too late to turn back.

So all of you cyclists and motorcyclists can understand the amount of strength, stability, and hand-eye coordination it took me to navigate my small scooter through the heavy winds! Not fun!!!

Anyways, it got me thinking of some possible exercises I could do to help out with those particular areas of need for strength – that is the core and the adductors (inner thighs).  Take a look at the Exercise Video of the Week to see one of the ones I came up with! Give it a shot (carefully, of course) and add some of your own variations to it.

Slow Motion – MMM #1

Every Wednesday from 10-11 a.m. I have the great opportunity to be a co-host on 1300 AM The Zone radio station with Bucky Godbolt.  We talk about everything from training to recovery and nutrition to injuries. They have labeled me the “Guru” of training for the station.

This past week I had one of my athletes from CATZ, Jeremy Green (Stanford Men’s Basketball), on the show with me. When asked what he felt was the greatest benefit he had from training with me at CATZ before heading off to the west coast, he responded by saying his core was super strong and stable, and that his first step quickness made him feel like his opponents were “playing in slow motion”.

To me, that’s an awesome compliment to the training he did with me at CATZ and to the product that he used consistently during his workout – that is, the Hyper Vest.

I would have Jeremy wear the vest during his strength and speed sessions to add that extra edge of athleticism you just can’t mimic with any other piece of equipment as safely and efficiently as the Hyper Vest does.

I quickly told Jeremy that he needs to start looking forward to using the SandBells for the upcoming off season when he’s back in town.  He responded in the way that he normally does – full of confidence and ready to go.

So now, you guys want to see a small piece of how you can make your opponents play in slow motion like Jeremy does day in and day out? Check out the video below and start training for that goal today!!
