How To Box Squat

Good Morning Athletes and Warriors! First off hats off and salutations to all of you who have signed up and are working your programs hard this winter. Believe and receive that your hard, dedicated work will pay dividends beyond your imagination because you have decided to make your fitness as lifestyle for a life time! As it takes a village to get all of the right strength, conditioning, and overall fitness information into you hands here is Coach Joe with another great video demo of a tried and true lower body exercise. Enjoy! -Nate I filmed this learn-by-doing video for you. It's called "How to Box Squat" and I think you'll like it. In short, the box squat is superior to the traditional squat because it "turns off" the elastic effect most folks experience when you bounce at the bottom of a classic squat. Because you actually stop your motion at the bottom of the box squat, you build more starting strength. This move is also excellent if you have nagging knee pain and think you can't ever squat again. Why does it help with pain? Mainly because you can position your feet so you maintain a vertical shin angle. I explain more here... VIDEO == How to Box Squat Take three minutes to watch the video and then reply to this email with any feedback or questions. I'll do my best to get back to each and every one who emails. Train hard and stay safe, Coach Joe P.S. If you know someone with a bad back or knee pain, this video can help them out. Please forward.

Lifting weights is as important to physical fitness as aerobic exercise.

 The big 'duh' but just in case you didn't know, cardio by itself only will not cut it. -Nate

Although aerobic exercise burns far more fat calories, weight lifting or resistance training, increases your lean body mass. Muscle tissue is metabolically active. It uses as much as 45 calories per pound per day to sustain itself. The more muscle tissue you have, the higher your resting metabolism. Even when watching television, the local gym rat burns more calories than their couch potato neighbor. So, while aerobic exercise burns fat during and briefly after a workout, the lean muscle tissue that is gained by lifting weights burns calories around the clock. That's especially important if you want to decrease body fat.

Stronger muscles also enable you to perform daily activities more easily. The result is less fatigue at the end of the day. Well conditioned muscles also reduce your risk to injury.

Strength training is a highly individualized procedure. That's why two equally successful strength athletes may have very different training routines. Nevertheless, in order to increase muscle mass or lean tissue, you need to train with weights a minimum of two to three times per week. US Sports Strength and Conditioning offers customized fitness programs that are tailored to your individual fitness goals.

The American College of Sports Medicine now considers resistance training a necessary component of any sound exercise program. So regardless of what your fitness goal may be, get out there and toss some weight around.
