To the CPC Team -
As some of you know, I climbed Kilimanjaro a couple of weeks ago with www.summitonthesummit.com. I found out I was going a month before the climb, so my preparation consisted of 7 sessions at CPC, a few walks and one hike in the Palisades. I’m not a camper, my version of hiking is playing 36 holes of golf in one day and I’d never been above 12,000 feet. While I got knocked around a bit by the altitude, my legs held up surprisingly well thanks to all the movement prep, squats and ESD sessions. I wore my Polar heart rate strap and a Polar watch and even at higher altitudes, my heart rate stayed at the lower ranges of my green zone and I easily got it to drop down to my yellow zone by focusing on my breathing. Understanding those ranges and how my body recovers helped instill confidence as I trudged up the mountain. I made it to the summit thanks to the time I’ve spent training with all of you at CPC since June ‘09.
I took these two pics as a thank you to each of you for creating such a great place and providing me such inspiring guidance and encouragement every time I’ve been there.

Here’s a quick movement prep exercise for anyone who needs to loosen their hips; and it’s especially good for tennis players.
Also, it’s a great video with our very own Anthony Slater

TRX, Gummy Bears, and Dark Chocolate
January 19, 2010 · Leave a Comment
The TRX suspension trainer is easily one of the most effective, dynamic, innovative, and ‘insert adjective here’ pieces of equipment any training facility could have. The TRX uses an individual’s bodyweight to create varying degrees of resistance based upon body positioning. Aside from using the TRX for obvious strength training purposes the TRX’s versatility transforms it into an awesome portable metabolic gym. Try this metabolic workout and send me hate mail afterwards:
- 30 seconds – atomic push ups
- 30 seconds – rest
- 30 seconds – body saw
- 30 seconds – rest
- 30 seconds – 1 leg squat
- 30 seconds – rest
- 30 seconds – 1 leg squat on opp. leg
- 30 seconds – rest
- 30 seconds – suspended row
- 30 seconds – rest
Perform this continuous circuit 10, 15, or 20 minutes. Focus on form, technique, and more importantly a deliberate and continuous tempo from start to finish for each ‘set’. By the way I saw they now make gummy bears supplemented with omega-3 fatty acid…best excuse I’ve ever heard to eat gummy bears to date. Couple this with the added health benefits of dark cacao and we just might be onto something both very decadent and healthy!

Shad and the German National Soccer Team
January 13, 2010 · Leave a Comment
As some of you recently saw we had the US Men’s Soccer team here for physicals and evaluations at Core Performance Center. Over in Europe my former roommate and good good friend Shad Forsythe can be seen in this short video using Athletes’ Performance / Core Performance Methods in a recovery session with star members of the German National Soccer team. Shad and Athletes’ Performance have been supporting the DFB for over 5 years…
A big year of soccer looming with the World Cup on the Horizon…
If you are a soccer fan you can’t wait!
