Resistance Band Workouts With Amy

Creative Treadmill Workouts– Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Treadmill Workouts– Rancho Cucamonga, CA

For those of us who experience significant snowfall during winters, and who don’t want to convert to snowshoes, winter signals the return to the treadmill workout.

A Treadmill Workout does not have to be mind-numbing.

A repertoire of creative workouts can allow you to both have fun and significantly increase your fitness through the winter.

Running Overland vs. Treadmill Workout

In treadmill running you don’t have to overcome wind resistance since you stay in the same covered spot. As a result, you need to set the treadmill to 1 percent incline (unless doing hill repeats) to approximate the 7 percent energy cost you usually use to overcome air resistance.

Second, in treadmill running, the ground runs out from underneath you instead of you pushing against the ground to propel yourself over it.

As a result, the biomechanics are slightly different. Also, since there are no curves or undulations in the surface of the treadmill belt, your footplant is exactly the same nearly every stride. Take care when starting treadmill running to let your body adjust to the different demands. You need to gradually introduce treadmill running to your winter routine, and it’s a good idea to do some preparatory easy treadmill runs before you do treadmill training.

Treadmill Workout: Six/Sevens

1 Set: 90 seconds @ 6 percent grade and marathon pace
1-minute recovery @ flat jog
1 minute @ 7 percent grade and marathon pace
2-minute recovery @ flat jog

Do 6-10 sets.

Treadmill Workout No. 1 comes from masters ace and long-time coach Gary Silver, who lives and trains in flat Florida. “This is a great hill program on a treadmill. You want to run the hill at your 5K race effort, which, in this workout, occurs at just slightly faster than your marathon pace.

Increase the incline simultaneously with the speed — do not start your clock until the treadmill is at 6 percent and the speed has increased to marathon pace. I suggest four to six sets the first week’s workout, then six to eight, then eight to 10. If you were to do this hill workout leading into the Boston Marathon, I think you might even say that the Boston course is flat!”

Treadmill Workout: Faster, Faster

1 Set: 400m @ easy run pace
400m @ 15K (tempo) pace
400m @ 3–5K race pace

Do 4 sets.

Treadmill Workout No. 2 comes from Illinois coach Bill Mitsos, whose daughter, Janna, is a three-time all-state cross country runner and was third at her state meet as a sophomore. “I used this workout with Janna, and it worked very well. Running the set four times gave her three miles of faster and faster running.

This treadmill workout isn’t too boring because of the pace changes. She did the workout once every couple weeks, and then she raced great. I also noticed during the race she was changing gears easily.”

Treadmill Workout: The Pyramid

Set 1: steady pace 1 minute each @ 4, 5 and 6 percent incline
2-3 minutes recovery @ flat jog

Set 2: steady pace 1 minute each @ 5, 6 and 7 percent incline
2-3 minutes recovery @ flat jog

Set 3: steady pace 1 minute each @ 6, 7 and 8 percent incline
2-3 minutes recovery @ flat jog

Set 4: steady pace 1 minute each @ 7, 6 and 5 percent incline
2-3 minutes recovery @ flat jog

Set 5: steady pace 1 minute each @ 6, 5 and 4 percent incline
2-3 minutes recovery @ flat jog

This fun treadmill workout comes from competitive masters runner Melissa Trunnell, who, despite living in Southern California, hits the treadmill for a fun diversion from her normal routine and when traveling for work. The usual warm-up and cool-down sandwich this treadmill workout.

Treadmill Workout: The Lab Rat

Stage 1: 4 minutes @ easy run pace
lower speed 2 mph for 2-minute recovery

Stage 2: 4 minutes @ stage 1 pace + 1 mph
lower speed 2 mph for 2-minute recovery

Stage 3: 4 minutes @ stage 2 pace + 1 mph
lower speed 2 mph for 2-minute recovery

Stage 4: 4 minutes @ stage 3 pace + 1 mph
lower speed 2 mph for 2-minute recovery

Stage 5: 4 minutes @ stage 4 pace + 1 mph
lower speed 2 mph for 2-minute recovery

This fun threshold workout comes directly from the research project I worked on in graduate school. The incline remains at 1 percent throughout the workout. If your first stage is run at 7.5 mph (8 minutes per mile pace) then your next stages will be 8.5 mph (7:04 pace), 9.5 (6:19 pace), 10.5 (5:43 pace), and 11.5 (5:13 pace).

This treadmill workout gets increasingly tough, and the last stage is very hard (and optional as you build up). After performing this treadmill workout once, you’ll find your best speeds for future treadmill workouts.

Strength Training More Important Then You Think. – Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Strength Training More Important Then You Think. – Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Many people associate strength training only with athletes.

At one time, perhaps, strength training was reserved only for athletes.

Certainly the world of muscle building (apart from body building) was relatively unknown. But all that has changed in the last few generatias the health benefits of muscle strength and endurance have become known for men and women of all ages.

As a result of technological advances, societal changes, and personal choices, all of us place fewer demands on our muscular systems.

Just 2 or 3 generations ago, wood was cut with hand saws.
Stairs were far more common than elevators, and children walked to and from school.
Recreational time was spent engaged in playing ball, climbing trees, running, jumping, and hide-n-seek, instead of parked in front of a video terminal playing video and computer games.
Simultaneously, in the United States, food has become less expensive (as a percentage of average income levels), more abundant, and more widely available.

It’s easy to see how this combination of events has led to increased body fat. Although technology and automation provide for more comfortable lives and more leisure time, a price is paid by our muscular systems.

Our bodies are miracles of adaptability

Our bodies are capable of altering themselves in response to loads placed upon them in such a way that future, similar loads will be less stressful. Likewise, they can and will adapt to having no demands placed upon them, becoming increasingly weaker and less capable.

In an earlier age when so much time was spent engaged in physically demanding activities, peoples’ muscular systems were stimulated vigorously. So going out of the way to engage in strength training was generally unnecessary.

Today, however, unless you have a job that requires a great deal of physical activity, to ensure optimal health and maintain your functional capacities, you may have to give back a little of the leisure time you’ve gained through technology and mechanization and purposely stress your muscular systems with a program of strength training.

We Have Medicine Balls

A brief history on Medicine Balls

We just got in a variety of medicine balls. From all different weights to different styles like non bounce to elite standard ones. We even got racks for your medicine balls.

Check out our Store to see the whole selection.

History of the Medicine Ball

Medicine Ball has been known since the ancient times, training with Medicine ball is one of the oldest conditioning training. They were used by athletes such as wrestlers to increase strength and stamina. First data about medicine ball appears in Persia nearly 3000 years ago, later 2500 years ago the father of medicine Hippocrates use medicine ball for curing and rehabilitation.

The first known forms of medicine ball were often animal bladders or animal skin stuffed with sand. Hippocrates recommended the use of animal skins in rounded form, also stuffed with sand. His patients threw them back and forth for injury prevention and rehabilitation. For better bouncing, balls were also made out of catgut (animal sinew) wound into a sphere and wrapped in leather or deerskin.

Medicine ball appears in the texts of Greek physicians and in drawings of wrestlers. “Someday we will discover drawings of two cavemen throwing a round rock back and forth,” says Istvan Javorek, a former Romanian Olympic weightlifting coach and a member of the USA Strength and Conditioning Coaches Hall of Fame. “As long as there have been athletes, there have been medicine balls”. The Greek game of Episkyros was later adopted by the Romans, who renamed and transformed it into Harpastum (meaning “the small ball game”).

The middle ages that followed were a dark period for rational physical training, but the noted Renaissance physician Hieronymous Mercurialis brought medical gymnastics back to life in the mid-1500’s. He renewed interest in Greek wisdom.

The German educator Friedrich Froebel added a metaphysical dimension to ball training in the early 1800’s. From its ancient origins, medicine ball training for both the fit and ill found life in American physical culture. Early physical trainers commonly used four hand-held tools. Aaron Molyneaux Hewlett, curator of the Harvard College Gymnasium in the mid-1800s was photographed with them.

The United States Military Academy used medicine balls in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Medicine Ball training gained popularity in Great Britain in the 1930’s.

It has rolled through the centuries, its elemental formula unchanged and unsurpassed: Sphere + gravity = fitness. The medicine ball has toned presidents, altered Olympics and sculpted empires. It has survived wars and plagues.

In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, the words “health” and “medicine” were synonymous. The so-called “Four Horsemen of Fitness” were the dumbbell, the Indian club, the wand and the medicine ball. This is where the beginnings of the modern medicine ball originate.

Today the medicine ball serves much the same function as mentioned by Hippocrates. Stay with us and continue to follow our blog if you want to read and learn various facts about Medicine Ball.

Exercise Equipment Running Belt Tech Tips, Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Do you think that treadmill manufacturers make their own belts? Do you believe there really is such a thing as a maintenance-free running belt? These are common misconceptions that cost club owners (quite Literally) hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. There really is power in knowledge.

Are you replacing running belts too often?

Does it seem like you’re having to replace running belts too often? If you’re sure you’re getting quality belts from a reputable source, then these four items are the most likely culprits:

Reasons why running belts get replaced

(1) Heat/Friction

You wouldn’t drive your car without oil, would you? Use our Premium Treadmill Waz produst and you’ll never have this problem again. Running belts need it!

(2) Worn Running Surface

Lots Of folks try to pinch pennies by putting a brand new running belt on a surface that’s worn and/or grooved. Our advice? Just say “NO”.

(3) Misalignment

If you’re unsure how to fix this running belt problem, give us a call. It’s okay, really. We’ll be happy to put our decades of experience in the field to work for you!

(4) Over tightening

Running Belts are designed to stretch only so far. Once a running belt is stretched beyond it’s limit, they literally start to pull themselves apart (kind of like trying to put on a pair of jeans you haven’t been able to wear since you were 18 years old.

Exercise Repair Online will help you get the most out of every running belt.

Give us a call now to learn more about our service and repair.
