Preventing Injury By Supervising Strength Training
Half of all Swedish elite volleyball players suffer at least one injury per season. One important reason may be that most players perform injury-preventing strength training unsupervised. This is shown in a new thesis from the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. All Swedish elite-level teams were invited to participate in the study, and 158 players returned the questionnaire that had been mailed out near the end of the volleyball season.

Getting Back Your Workout Mojo
Have you ever had one of those days where, halfway through your workout you suddenly think, "I'm so done with this workout"? There may not be any particular reason - you slept fine, you feel okay, you're doing your usual routine, but the usual drive you have to workout just isn't there. If you're just starting out, this can be a critical time. Skipping the workout may snowball into days or weeks of missed workouts. On the other hand, you may need to back off if it's just not happening. Here are a few tips for getting through a little bad mojo: Cut it short - Overcome a bad mojo day by shifting gears. If your original goal was to run 3 miles or lift weights for an hour, decide you'll go through a long warm up. If you don't feel like continuing after that, give yourself permission to quit and try again tomorrow. Give yourself permission to have a bad workout - We sometimes feel guilty when we're having a bad mojo day. We know there's no physical reason not to give our all and fo

Kettlebell Training: Is It For You?
The first time I heard about kettlebell training a few months ago, I was skeptical. Swing around a big, heavy weight? Participate in the number one strength training no-no: Using (gasp) momentum? Um, not so sure about that. Over the past few months, I've done some research and discovered what other people were a bit quicker to pick up on: Kettlebell training is kind of fun. Not fun in the way that, say, going to the beach and sipping cocktails is fun, of course, but fun in the sense that it can breathe new life into your workouts. It's so different from traditional training that it instantly engages your body, and your mind, in a whole different way. I've taken this newfound enthusiasm and put it to good use in a couple of new articles this week. First, Kettlebell Training offers a few basics for what it is and how it might benefit you. Second, Getting Started With Kettlebell Training offers details about how to choose your weight and a variety of kettlebell exercises to s

Rules to Live By - What Rules Help You Stay Fit?
How much time do you spend sitting in a chair every day? And how much time do you spend trying to come up with ways to get out of that chair? If you work in an office and use a car to get from one place to another, chances are it's a challenge to do more moving than sitting. When I worked in an office in my previous life, I was chained to my cubicle (I know, it's hard to type with those chains rattling against the desk) so as to be available to my boss, who didn't like it when I took things like breaks or walks or days off. I solved the problem by leaving something critical in my car every morning so I would have to go out and get it. My boss thought I was an idiot ("You left the files in your car again?), but at least I got to take the stairs and get some circulation going. Setting rules for how you do things is one way to sneak in more activity each day. In fact, that kind of random movement can actually help you lose weight over the long term, so inventing reasons to move can d
