Sports

Okay followers, haha see what I did there? Followers? I don't have any! Okay but being serious now, I'm going to talk about getting in shape! There are so many different sports out there I don't even think they have been counted. So this blog is in general to the sport you might play, but by the end will cover all of the basics of what your sport demands. First lets start off with getting tone, ya know getting lean and fast and being able to push your body. Sports which include these attributes are sports similar to swimming, running, dancing, motocross, snowboarding, etc. You want to be able to go for a long period of time while also being ready to explode and put power into it at any time. Training for sports like these includes cardio! You have to be able to last for a long period of time, whether that be 30 minutes, or a couple hours. To do this you will need to train your body in that fashion, and cardio is the perfect way. If you use weights you must use light weight and do more repetitions. 4 sets of 20 would be my suggestion. Also do some circuits with zero weight on a bar or use a light dumb bell. Go for 30 seconds as hard and as fast as you can, the key here is to shape your muscles for the way that they will be used during playing time, or when it comes time to perform. If you're not in shape, trust me you will know it very quickly. You must eat healthy as well. Why put negative foods in your body if you are trying to get positive results? Don't do it! Lets say you don't even play sports anymore or never have you just stumbled across this blog, eating healthy is a great way to live life. You will feel energized and much more ready to handle stressful situations in life if your body isn't being dragged down. Now, you must also remember your body needs to get rest. Sleep when you know you're supposed to. That means eight hours! Also feed your body nutritious foods and it is a good idea to take some protein after a workout. Replenish your body. Now for those of you who play sports such as football, rugby, or even just lift weights and need to build mass you will want to switch the workout up to 4 sets of 8 or 3 sets of 10. Maybe even 3 sets of 5. Cardio is also important in being able to be fast and explosive in the sports you play. If all you do is build mass and build and build you will be slow! You need to be able to move all that mass that you are building. Otherwise you will not be able to perform the way you should. Running is great for cardio, or cycling, even cross fit classes. That will get you in shape like no ones business if you push yourself to keep going. Well thats about all for now. If you have any questions comment on my blog. P.s. I'm not some athletic major either, but this is just what I have learned in my training.
