Indo Board Training

We can all remember growing up running around the neighborhood playing football, basketball, baseball, block chase or many other activities related to being active. As we get older, we move away from being active due to time restraints, job, and what ever excuse we can come up with. But what about those people that workout all of the time? Are they doing what is best for them and their body.

We see it all the time gyms filled with people on the cardiovascular equipment and weight based machines. My question to them would be, outside the gym when do you try to lift or move something by first sitting or lying on a stable surface? NEVER! We are always moving and lifting in an unstable environment. Why then do we train in an stable environment? If you want to improve your strength, power, range of motion, flexibility, agility and core, you need to stop using machines!

A great tool, that is fun to play with at any age, is Indo Board Training. The Indo Board forces you to use your body the way it was intended, as one well functioning unit. Just by using the board 3 times a week for 10 minutes you will see improvements in all aspects of fitness. Give it a try, it is harder than you think. Make sure to heed the warning on the board.

DMC Introduction

About a year ago John Davies (Founder of Renegade Training) developed a cutting edge training system called DMC. The DMC training program, whether you are an athlete or fitness enthusiast, will help increase range of motion, flexibility, strength, power, core, and stability. Who would not want all of that out of a program?

The only problem that I came across was that the program was too hard for many of my clients and athletes, due to the lack of core strength and muscular tightness in the anterior part of the body, so I had to find a way to lay down a foundation. Once the foundation has established I could then start my clients on phase one of the DMC program.

Here are pictures of the static holds and modifications. Each static hold should be held for 30 seconds and done 3 to 4 times a week. Once you are able to hold for 30 seconds increase time to 45 and then 60 seconds. Once you are able to complete you are ready for DMC phase 1.
