Suggestion by Music Addict
Not really i think ur in good shape.

Suggestion by exmatelote
Add some dips and chin ups to that routine, which I think is pretty damn good btw. I’m always hearing the NZTV guys go on about training run, so don’t be shy of putting in a few 5km runs too. How much fruit do you eat? A few peices at breakfast before a game helps me.

Suggestion by andy the man
your fitness seems to be in order, although i’d do something such as a ladders drill (not the one you climb on!!) to get your change of direction improved and do some excerises for your leg muscles since that is key for a rugby…..but when you go for a run do it with a rugby ball in both hands, it will make your handling near perfect and also build up your technique of running with the ball

also work on your catching the high ball, this is something ive seen against almost every team ive played against, no one except the full back knows how to catch the high ball…. kick a ball up in the air and catch from side on while in the air and remember to jump since you cant be tackled in the air

ive been playing since i was 5 and play for school 1st XV, club and have played national youth so i know what im talking about when it comes to this stuff..hope you take my advice

Has anyone ever like plateau in their training?
I’m not sure if its me or who I train under? I study Kenpo Jujutsu. My Sensei works out of a fitness club so we are trying to practice with music playing and people walking in to use machines that are in the room. Besides that I feel I’ve reached a peak that I feel blah. I like martial arts and even though I’m not a brown belt, I help newer students and also adjust my own basics to better my art.
My Sensei stress’ scenarios and power hitting, but I’m more intrigued with how to,history, etiquette of martial arts. I only practice twice a week once with advanced students and then a escrima class. What am I missing? I know train more but its hard with job and family. If I am treating it like hobby should not even do it? Please help.

Suggestion by Irish1952
I don’t know much about jujutsu, but it sounds as if a sensei whose interests (in history, etiquette, etc) match your own might put new interest into it for you.

Suggestion by BUSHIDO
maybe your trying to go to far to quick?it’s also possible your sensei is letting you spend to much time teaching instead of learning?it would also be unusual for a sensie to only stress 2 or 3 things.i dont think anyone can really answer this only you.

Suggestion by Shadow Warrior
It sounds like you need more of a structured environment. It seems like there are too many distractions going on that prevent you from learning.
It’s good to teach others what you know because it helps to tighten your own game, but if at your level you find yourself teaching more than you are learning, that’s a problem and you should discuss it with your sensei.
It’s completely normal to sometimes hit plateaus, but this doesn’t sound like you’ve hit a plateau, it sounds like you need more structure. Good luck!

It sounds reasonable. I would do exercises geared toward increasing your endurance. Believe me, if you’re not in shape when you show up, they’ll get you that way. It’s just less painful if you are already fit.

Military School Fitness Test?
I am a sophomore in high school, and I was thinking about applying to Annapolis, West Point, or The Air force Academy for college. I know i am premature in thinking about this, but I want to be as prepared as possible. I know that you have to pass a physical fitness test before you gain admittance into the college, so I wanted to prepare myself before hand for this test. I play baseball at my high school, but I have noticed I have hardly any stamina. Do you know any ways to improve stamina, as well as any other tips you have for the physical fitness test? Any help would be great, thanks!

Suggestion by Vettepilot
It is called the Candidate Fitness Assessment (CFA) and consists of a basketball throw, pullups, shuttle run, situps, pushups, and a 1 mile run. If you go to page 8 of the link I put into sources you will see more details. That link will also be helpful at least for USAFA since the CFA is only a small portion of all the admissions considerations.

I am an Air Force retiree.

Air Force Basic Training is the least physical of all branches of the services. This is because the Air Force puts an emphasis on your mind and your ability to use your mind over the braun of your body.

My suggestion to be prepared is to be able to run 2 miles easily. At Basic, you will have a timed 1.5 mile run and you need to be about to complete this easily. Don’t train for long distance because the pace of the mile and a half will tire you. If you can run 2 miles in 10-14 minutes, you should be great.

Next, just be able to do normal exercise. If you want to put emphasis on anything, put in on your hand strength. The obstacle course is not difficult, but I fell in the water twice with the monkey bars. If you can do about 10 yards on monkey bars you will be okay. If you can’t, you’ll just get wet, you won’t fail. The water is about 3 foot deep.

In summary, be able to do 2 miles easily running, work on your upper body strength with an emphasis on hand strength. Be able to do about 25 push ups, sit ups and toe-touches. No you don’t need to do 45 push ups on day one!

The good news is that everything you do, you’ll build up to it. For example, you’ll start off at running a 1/4 mile, and eventually work your way up to 1.5 miles.

The bad news is in three months in San Antonio Texas it will be hot as hell. You’ll need to be about to work out in the heat. But, don’t worry, on really hot days they put up a red flag on base and you can’t go outside to work out. Just drink a lot of water and you’ll be okay.

If you need to email me, feel free to.

www.ericjmoss.com I received an email from a soldier asking for some exercises for him and his unit who were trying to open a crossfit style gym on their base. I couldn’t recommend anything better then the 6 fundamental movements we use at the RKC. The swing the turkish getup the clean the press the front squat the snatch grinds (tgu, press, squat) should be done with low reps and heavy weight. no more then 5 ballistics (swing, clean, snatch) can be done for any number of reps but i recommend over 10 so you can get unbelievable conditioning from it. best of luck to our armed forces “Avenger” used with permission.

You do not need a degree to be a trainer but you must be willing to learn as much as you can about your trade. Remember, you will be responsible for working with people who have had injuries, hypertension, diabetes, etc. Do not do this if you are not willing to learn all you can because your actions can hurt someone.

ISSA is a great place to get your certification because their testing and textbooks require much attention to detail. It also help if you have actual experience working out. It makes it easier t comprehend what you are being taught.

Other areas of interest in the fitness field are: strength and conditioning coach, fitness bootcamp instuctor, etc. You can keep going on your certifications or even continue on to a degree and take it to whatever level you want.

You are only limited by your imagination, so think and dream big.

Suggestion by Coach Lyzz
Being a certified fitness professional will be a prerequisite for many facilities. While a college degree may not be a requirement, it is beneficial to have a degree, no matter what profession you choose. Management positions often require a college degree.

Certification is usually a voluntary process instituted by a nongovernmental agency in which individuals are recognized for acquired knowledge and skill. It requires assessment, including testing, and an evaluation of education and/or experience. In some instances, individuals who seek certification may already hold a license. Also, certification may be nonvoluntary for some professions (i.e., required by the profession) and may be considered the equivalent of a license to practice (e.g., EMTs, nurses, athletic trainers, occupational therapists).

I highly recommend you obtain a certification from agencies accredited through the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) or The National Board of Fitness Examiners (NBFE).

Both agencies evaluate the processes and systems used by an organization to identify professional role and scope of practice, develop exam content and provide proper exam administration and scoring.

There are great career opportunities you can explore. Besides the certification links below that are listed in my sources, I suggest you also check out the following sites:

I would like to know what equipment has to be purchased to use Wii fitness?
I’ve been looking at these items for sale, the Wii fitness boards with remote and I’ve noticed that the packaging has the information: “does not include console”. So how do you use Wii fitness? I viewed the videos and understand that the board is for doing the exercise, and at the same time, viewing your progress on your TV. However, how do you hook up your TV to view the fitness program? Is it because you have to buy the console first?

About Polar
The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of “intensity training” by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight. Polar is the leading brand among consumers, coaches, and personal trainers worldwide and the company is committed to not only producing the best products, but also being the leading educator on the benefits of heart rate based exercise.
