Training intensity, or exercise intensity seems to be a big topic this day and age. With the tremendous popularity of CrossFit alone one can see that training intensity is probably here to stay for a while as the main ingredient of many programs. The fact is though training intensity has been around in many forms long before CrossFit was a brand name. It really only boils down to one thing at the end of the day and that is that training intensity can be a real Ball Buster! However the question I want to pose today is that should this be the case every time you step foot in the weight room or onto the performance floor?

Just Some Insight:

Today infomercials, internet ads, and magazines hammer away at the latest and greatest weight loss supplement. They always show the before and after pic of a certain individual and the amount of weight loss they have been successful with after a designated amount of time.

This may all seem very interesting to a quick viewer, but ask yourself this; Is this progress? I mean is this person healthier? Is the weight loss even real for that matter? Sadly this is what progress has been identified as concerning the fitness industry today.

It angers the piss out of me whenever I look around in society today and see our culture diminishing in character and individuality more and more. Today it seems as if the media and a certain supporting cast of like minded idiots want to throw a blanket of security over the public and feed them an element of BS by attaching the word FAIRNESS to the message. Yep, I said it and today I’m here to tell you brother “Life ain’t fair,” but it can be managed! Follow me if you want to explore a message about overcoming adversity.

So yesterday I decided to go a different direction by taking my training outdoors to engage in my athletic performance program. The weather was nice, but it was hot and I promise you there was no shortage of sweat and oxygen deficits during that hour! The work time was put in and it also got me to thinking about today’s post. This is something you’ll definitely want to check out!

The lesson for today is mobility. I’m always hammering out the importance of mobility to all of my students and through my social media outlets on a regular basis. This is something that has to be addressed not only in the athletic realm, but in society on a constant basis as well. It really is a simple concept. Move and try to move well, period. This trumps how much weight one can lift or how fast one can run although being able to move and to move well also goes hand in hand with lifting heavier and running faster. It all goes together just like Batman and Robin, or Kim Kardashian and The Enquirer. Either way mobility and performance just fit together.
