If you said to me that I would be where I am today I wouldn't believe you. When you are young you are supposed to be in your prime. From'-23 I was in very good condition, at the top of my game athletically speaking and never had much of an issue with the ladies or controlling the field or the court.
In order to get the most out of the players during the games a strict practice schedule is put into place. Players are asked to compete during practice to get better athletically at their chosen sport and then at the end there is a "conditioning period" set up to get the players in to better condition. It all boils down to on-field performance as every coach wants the players to play their best on the field during games.
Prior to ever making it to the field we were asked to participate in pre-season training. This was typically weight lifting and plyometric workout (jump training) coupled with regular sport drills. All of this was designed to get into shape and to hone your athletic skills. All of this activity put me in very good shape and I was ready to play my chosen sports.
Fast forward 15 years or so and you would think I lost my edge for one reason or another. Well I am here to tell you that you can have that edge and maybe be even better at a given sport than your younger competitor. You have the knowledge of the game and if you are lucky you have the fitness knowledge that most younger people lack. You can run circles around some of those guys simply because you train smarter than they do.
The first smart workout I learned dealt with intensity in my workouts. The level of intensity you bring to your workout will determine the results you get, especially the older you get. Intensity is an interesting thing because you can struggle to get results without it. Far too often people go to the gym to look pretty and just to say they went. They don't actually care about the results as much as they think they do, they care about their actions.
Eating whatever I wanted used to be my solution to eating right! I learned the hard way that eating is how you get the energy you need to get into shape. No one told me that carbs are bad and protein is good. Making the right choices with your food was my second secret to a great workout.
Take these smart workout tips and head into the gym with confidence. Know you can be on the same level as any younger athlete if you work smarter not harder, just steer clear of the injuries and you will thank me. - 29957
