No time to workout? 168 Hours in a Week minus 1 Hour per day for working out = 161 hours left.
WHAT I DO
· Strength | Mobility | Balance | Flexibility | Recovery
· These qualities are the foundation from which we build a healthy physical lifestyle regardless of age or activity level
· Falling short in one of these areas will result in unnecessary pain and limited or failed performance
· Manage pain in your daily life. Manage pain to improve performance.
· You may never have played a sport in your life but you should still train like an athlete
MY METHODS
· Based on athlete’s programs for all sports with an adaptation to age and level of ability
· There are many “Roads to Rome”. The road you take to practical fitness must be constructed for your needs.
· “Putting together a training program is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are always changing shape.” Charlie Francis
