Flexibility Gains from Strength Training?

You can gain flexibility from strength training sometimes even more than from stretching alone. It makes sense since moving through a full range of motion while lifting a weight not only makes you stronger but also activates your nerves all through the motion and therefore would help you have better control and smoother motion through that joint. More research should probably be done for sure, but this is good to know! Check out this article on WebMD.

Calling all Triathletes

A triathlete's current top priorities should be to increase muscular strength, improve technique in all three sports of the triathlon, and maintain basic endurance. If this can be done properly, the athlete will have a decreased recovery time, be more efficient in each event, and have effectively provided a basis for injury prevention. It will soon be time to start gearing up for greater volume and high intensity workouts for swim, bike, and run workouts, but for now concentrate on practicing correct techniques for each sport and completing weekly balanced strength training workouts. If you need some help, contact the ACB Training Team and ask about Multi Sport Training Camp. Happy training!

Get your exercise on...the right way!

Personal Training Workshops are a great way to save you some green this January while continuing to utilize expert knowledge and advice from one of ACB's nationally certified personal trainers. Workshops are similar to small group personal training sessions, but offered at a reduced rate as compared to personal training and have a set schedule week-to-week. Better Body Bootcamp, High Intensity Training (HIT), Total Integration and FIT Fridays are currently in session with room for some participants who are looking to step up their workouts this new year. Women on Weights (WOW) will begin again in February. If you have an idea for a workshop you would like to see available at ACB, please let us know!! For more information about workshops or a current schedule, stop by at the front desk or chat with one of our trainers. See you at the gym!!
