GET STRONG!

What determines true strength?  Let's look at a few of the different types of strength.

Absolute Strength:  This is the basic definition of strength: who can generate more force, regardless of everything else. I can bench 300 pounds; you can bench 250 pounds. I'm stronger and I have more absolute strength.

Relative Strength:  Relative strength not only looks at how much weight you can lift, but also your own bodyweight. In effect, the person with more relative strength is the one with the better strength-to-bodyweight ratio

Starting Strength:  This is how much you can lift from a completely extended position from a lift, with no momentum or reversal of movement.

Reactive Strength:  This employs that reversal of momentum I just talked about - the lengthening and quick shortening of the muscle. The squat done in "normal" fashion as just described would be a measure of reactive strength.

Strength-Endurance:  This is fairly simple - how strong are you in a repeated fashion? Sure, you might be able to bench press 250 pounds once. But how much weight can you do for 10 reps? 12 reps? 5 reps?

Power:  Now, we're going to add a time element to the mix. If strength is basically a measure of how much force you can generate, then power is a measure of how quickly you can generate that force. For example, say you can squat 450 pounds. That is a measure of strength. Saying you can squat 450 pounds in 2.1 seconds is a measure of power.

Power-Endurance:  Remember everything I mentioned above about strength-endurance? Well, apply all the same principles here, only with power-endurance (adding the time element to the equation).

Hopefully, this clears up some of the different types of strength and how they're measured. When t comes to MMA, power and power-endurance reign supreme over all the others. There is nothing slow going on in the cage, so you'd better be able to move fast, and you'd better be able to exert strength while you do it.

F.I.T. YOGA

Fit_yoga_copy[1]

 F.I.T Yogis

 
Thank you for signing up for the F.I.T Yoga workshop . I am excited to have the opportunity to work with all of you. Over the next 6 weeks we will explore the foundation of yoga and flexibility embedded in breath and movement. Flexibility limitations and lacking full range of motion in our joints can make even day to day activities challenging. Flexibility training takes time and patience but you will notice that your bodies will respond quite quickly in the beginning. Over the next few days I encourage you to journal your flexibility limitations so we can address these concerns in the workshops and so that you have something to measure against.

FIT Yoga Structure
 
The first class will provide an introduction and brief educational component of the importance of flexibility , breath , and nutrition. All of these components will enhance your performance and optimize well being. A food log will be provided to you to keep throughout the weeks to monitor your nutrition. 

In each class we will start with a short warm up activity to build some natural heat in the body so that the muscles can stretch. The yoga practice will start with a grounding breath excercise followed by various postures to open up the hips, hamstrings, shoulders, quads, and more. The practice will end with a relaxation.

This is an all levels foundation building class therefore we will move slow and with patience and dedication.
 
FIT Yoga Things to Bring
 
  • Mats will not be required as we will be in the kickboxing room . However we will be sitting on the ground so if you have a mat and feel more comfortable with it feel free to bring it. 
  • Yoga strap and/or towel is required. Please bring this to every class .
  • Comfortable workout attire
  • Open mind :-)
