“To Get Something YOU Never Had you have to do

something You Never Did!!

Today I start at my New Fitness Band Boot Camp location with hopefully many of my present boot camp members and a few new faces as well.

How does this relate to the above saying??

I was originally running my boot camp out of a fitness center which made sense when I first started.

Over the past 2 years if became obvious that having the camp at a neutral site that I could call my own allowed me the freedom I needed to manage the camp and create a “True fitness community”

So today I get something a never had by doing something I should have done a long time ago and I can not wait to make it happen.

Now I ask you??

If resistance band training is unmatched as a training tool, do you think it could help your clients, your  Fitness Boot Camp business or your personal workouts.

“To Get Something YOU Never Had you have to do something

You Never Did!!

www.resistancebandtraining.com is a great place to start and I am hear to help just like I helped Marisa

HI Dave

Just wanted to tell you that I am VERY impressed with all the work that you have done and continue to do!!  I am ectastic about having my Total Fitness Package and RBT Manual.  I have started using the training methods and exercises in my own workouts and soon will get them implemented for my patients and clients.

Your bands aer certainly of the highest quality and teh e-books are comprehensive and concise with excellent photos.

Im am also very happy that you are producing the short RBT Live Videos and sharing them online:  a wonderful supplement to the printed material.

I wanted to thank you for all you have given..

Stay well

Marisa

So what are you waiting for.  What is something you Never Did that you are going to do today?

Love Passionate Coaches

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

I love passionate coaches.

Guys that continue to look for ways to get and edge.

Anything is possible and every player can get better.

I had the opportunity to go down to do a high school clinic at Jefferson HS yesterday.

Nothing huge… 26 kids, 6 or so coaches for about 90 min.

The coaches that brought me teach at a high school but coach at a university that has played in the D. 3 national championship game 4 staight years.

I took some of their HS athletes thru a brief 90 minute workout with bands and had 12 kids out of 26 wanting to know how they can continue to train in bands.  Why…. Because they felt the difference right after they were done.

On April 25 or 26th, I along with 2 other coaches are going to be showing High school coaches how to implement a year round training program for their athletes.   We call if Fast Fit and Flexible.

I will be sharing exactly how you start training your athletes in bands 1 step at a time and I guarantee your kids will be faster in 4 weeks and more importantly want to continue to train.

If you are a HS coach…..   You may want to consider attending FAST – FIT and FLEXIBLE

Traing Beyond the Contraction

PS.. Thanks Coach Dinks and  Coach Z for being incredible coaches that care and support my efforts.

This is not a defective Band

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Over the past 7 months I have been slowly launching a new band
I call the “The BAND” by Performax.

It has been performing well but there is still some defect issues.

I seem to have about 1 out of every 2000 bands that demonstrates a defect.

Not bad I know but still why???

Well when a layered band is created, small microscopic air
bubbles can form in between the layers.

As the band is stretched so is this air bubble. As air pressure
increases inside the bubble it can literally snap the band if the bubble burst.

If this occurs the band literally looks like it was cut by a sissors.

Very easy to see.

Most layered bands are glued and than heated when the layering process is completed.  However this post heating process is more likely to allow air bubbles to form because the layeres do not get sealed effectively.

Now if the each layer is heated as it is layed down the sealing success and subsquently potential for air bubbles is signficantly decreased.   The Band By Performax is manufactured that way which may be why we are seeing less defects.

What if the band is jagged or shreaded when it breaks?

Chance are this is a band that was attached to a rough surface or over stretched.

This has happened to me and as a new band user it could very well happen to you.   We all make mistakes.

If you purchase “The Band” and you have issues… Be honest and I will see what I can do to help out.
