Greatest Compliment in FLO's History

Got the greatest compliment tonight and I decided to share it. 

I was at our Girls Soccer Banquet tonight and the coach had some very kind words to say about the Family at FLO Fitness to the entire audience. It was great to know that he really appreciated our work with the team. However, after the banquet was over we spoke for about 5 minutes and he said he was sorry he forgot talk about the teams lack of injuries this season.  So he said this is the first year in his history of coaching that he has never had a SINGlE muscle pull or ligament injury the ENTIRE SEASON. I was like, WHOA! no way. So I looked at our injury reports for the season and there it was, Not a single ACL injury, MCL injury, Hamstring Pull, Quad Strain, Nothing.  I was shocked. This is by far the greatest compliment I have ever got in my life.  
Coach has been the first person to let FLO Fitness control their entire lifting and warm up  programs. From off season lifting, preseason weight room session, pregame and practice warm ups, and inseason lifting. He trusted us to do a great job and our family stepped up to the occasion.  The best part is seeing how happy the girls were to lift, and how much they began to have fun and enjoy working out.  
To often in this industry we look to our peers for acceptance and we forget the real reason we do what we do. It is for the client. Keeping them healthy and on the field is what we do. You can agree or disagree with our methods but the bottom line is they work. We stand behind what we do, how we do it, and most importantly, why we do it. 
Thank you lady blue devils for trusting us and  believing in our system of training! Can't wait until next year.

Rotational Athletes and why you MUST know about the Serape Effect

The Rotational Athlete  In today’s blog we will be discussing a pattern in the overhead/rotational athlete, called the “Serape Effect”. Gene A. Logan and Wayne C. McKinney introduced the Serape Effect to us in their book, “Kinesiology” a couple centuries ago.  The Serape Effect gets its name from a Mexican garment that is draped loosely over the shoulders and is crossed in front of the body.  The muscles involved in the serape effects are the rhomboids, serratus anterior, external obliques and internal obliques. “The Serape Effect incorporates several major concepts which are vital to the understanding of movement. In ballistic actions such as throwing and kicking, the serape muscles add to the summation of internal forces. They also transfer internal force from a large body segment, the trunk, to relatively smaller body parts, the limbs. For example, the serape effect functions in throwing by summating, adding to, and transferring the internal forces generated ...

Are you brave enough for a COLD SHOWER?

Why I Take Cold Showers And You Should Too For the past three years I’ve taken a cold shower almost every single day. You might think I’m crazy and at first; trust me, at first I thought I was too. But hold your judgment, hear me out, give it a try and then you can thank me. What are the benefits of cold showers? 1.     Improve Mood A 2007 study looked at how cold showers affected people with depression. Here is what the authors of the study hypothesized: “Exposure to cold is known to activate the sympathetic nervous system and increase the blood level of beta-endorphin and noradrenaline and to increase synaptic release of noradrenaline in the brain as well. Additionally, due to the high density of cold receptors in the skin, a cold shower is expected to send an overwhelming amount of electrical impulses from peripheral nerve endings to the brain, which could result in an anti-depressive effect.” The study ended up finding that cold showers of 2-3...

A Few Tips on Public Speaking

A Few Tips on Public Speaking    Recently I took a course on public speaking by a group called "own the room".  I felt it was a very helpful course and I wanted to share some of my major takeaways with you all.     As many people may guess, public speaking is one of the greatest fears of most people. It is also the best way to get your message across to large groups of people at the same time. In the fitness business, it is necessary to constantly get your face exposed in the community you work in.  This will help you gain exposure and more exposure equals more business. The following tips may help you get more comfortable with public speaking.  Start off with a BANG! Don't stand there and talk bout yourself for 20minutes. If people are coming to see you talk they already assume you are qualified to speak. Start off with a story, quote, poem, riddle,joke,  etc. Something that will grab their attention. The audience  decides ...
