Whom should I trust? The best home gym Alcohol abuse Smoking is bad About the author My complete name is Alexandru Mihnea Moisescu. I was born in Romania in 1976. Compared with many “fitness gurus” who wrote books or started programs, fitness did not came to me through a revelation. I was never fat or out of shape, nor had a life changing experience when I discovered fitness. I started to be involved in sports since I was 5 years old and by 12, I was exercising and training on a regular basis at least 4 times a week. Until today I have never skipped training more than a week and this on seldom occasions. So fitness is a part of my living. I graduated Physical University Faculty in Iasi, Romania and in 2000 I also attended 2 years post graduate studies in Health Preservation and Rehabilitation at Beijing Physical and Sports University. For more than 8 years I started and managed fitness clubs. During this period I have trained from scratch more than 100 personal trainers, provided various training to more than 1000 personal trainers and I offered training advice and instructions to more than 10000 clients. Along the road I also got involved and trained professional athletes: first league football players, MMA fighters and national teams (tennis, tae kwon do, boxing). At present I live in Shanghai and I run a Physical Education, Fitness and Sports program for children between 3 and 12 years of age and I also take care of the physical conditioning programs for MMA fighters. Myself I train every week strength and conditioning about 3 times, I do 2 MMA training sessions and play rugby almost every Saturday. I am 188 cm tall, weighing 93 kg at 10 % body fat. I can deadlift 240 kg, squat 200 kg, bench press 160 kg, snatch a 28 kg kettlebell 100 times in 5 minutes, run 3 km in little over 12 minutes, sprint 50 m in 6 seconds and jump 290 cm for standing long jump. Q&A with Alex Moisescu Q: What do you think is the most important ingredient when it comes to maintaining and improving health, fitness and beauty? A: The most important thing should be your discipline. Discipline means to work out 2-3 times a week all your life starting when you are 3 years old and until the last days of your life even when you are busy, even when you are exhausted even when you think you have reasons to skip training. Discipline means to have a correct nutrition at least 90% of all your meals in virtually every week and to make it up after and overfeeding like during a holiday week. Discipline means to absolutely refrain from smoking and drink with responsibility in spite of your entourage and social connections. Q: Could you think of why these days especially in developed countries there are so many people who are unfit in spite of all the informations and in spite of all health and fitness facilities we see everywhere? A: The main reason for why so many people ( I can easily say the majority of people ) are so unfit is that they accept the situation. They think is no big deal, that they are fit and healthy “enough”, they look at the people around them and came to accept living without fitness. As I said before, they lack the most important ingredient, the discipline needed to achieve health, fitness and beauty. Q: Talking about fitness knowledge which kind of knowledge do you see as most important? A: I consider that the essence of fitness knowledge is the Principles of Physical Training. Q: Why and how you decided to write and publish this book? A: I have started to write for this book when I was 22 years of age, 13 years ago ( as today is February 2011 ). I wrote a little on a frequent basis and than I put everything together and this book came out. I think that compared with every other book I red on this topic, that I have some words to say. Q: What is different about your book, compared with all those hundreds, maybe thousands of books on this topic out there? A: Well, frankly saying most of the books I saw are of very little substance, quite superficial. Of course that are also a lot of good books out there. I will make a list with what I see as special about my book: . It explains in detail the science of fitness, but is written for the normal folks who do not like to read scientific text books. Combines equally theory with practice. Most of the other books lack one of these two features. It is very complete. By reading and learning it the reader will have more useful knowledge than at least 50% of all personal trainers who work in commercial gyms. It is basic and plain common sense knowledge. Most of the books out there want to be seen as revolutionary, cutting edge systems or “hocus-pocus-abracadabra” magic programs who work with little effort and give you “the results you want” in very short time Q: What kind of books have been taught you the most knowledge? A: For me the most important knowledge comes from “Exercise physiology” which is and should be behind every principle and theory on fitness and conditioning training.

Forget treadmills and spin classes,” the release proclaimed. “Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies may have found a way around the sweat and pain.” Feeding a drug called AICAR to a group of mice for four weeks allowed them to run 44 percent longer than drug-free mice, the new study found—without a single step of training. Stories like this are hard to resist. After all, who wouldn’t love a pain-free, effortless shortcut to fitness? That’s why we’re bombarded on a daily basis by similar promises in magazines, on television, over the Internet, and in our spam folders.

  • Strength Training
    Ultimate Frisbee Workout Guide Intro Why You Need This Guide Many ultimate players aren’t getting the best results from their workouts. Often simply because they’ve gotten stuck doing the same things they did in high school. Or perhaps they’ve bought into a popular general fitness plan because the marketing makes it seem reasonable enough. If you think that might be you, then the great news is you’ve likely got loads of untapped athletic potential waiting to be unleashed on the frisbee field. Even if you’re already pretty experienced in working out, even if you’re experienced in the weight room, there is still more potential in you to become faster and jump higher than you realize. I know this is true because I’ve seen it happen for hundreds of ultimate players, and I’d like it to happen for you too. That’s what this guide is all about. I’m going to help you understand the principles behind athletic adaptation so that you design an ultimate frisbee training schedule that WORKS. Best of all, this does not require hours and hours of running. In fact, some of the ultimate frisbee workouts you’ll be doing are likely easier than what you’re doing now. If you like the idea of training smarter so you can get more results in less training time, then this guide is for you. www.TheUAP.com Who am I? I’m Melissa Witmer, creator of The Ultimate Athlete Project’s Strength and Conditioning program. I’ve traveled all over the world coaching players on how to train more efficiently for ultimate.

  • Level 2 Chapter 5 – General Fitness Training
    5 General Fitness Training 5.1 Introduction Fitness may be defined as the successful adaptation to mental and physical stress encountered in life. General Fitness Training may be defined as a scientifically-based and systematic training programme to provide the athlete with the basic means to adapt to the physical load encountered through controlled exercise. Adaptation begins by subjecting the body to a physical load through controlled exercise. Subjecting the body to a sufficient level of physical activity, to cause fatigue, provides the load on the body. After the body has had an opportunity to recover by resting, the body will adapt to this load. The adaptation will now allow the body to be subjected to the same load without becoming fatigued. 5.2 Main features of sport training Goal-oriented Training should always be aimed at achieving an increased individual performance level. Group training Although training is an individual matter, training in groups is more economical and provides the necessary emotional support for mobilising performance potential. Effective training A training programme that provides for increasing physical demands on the athlete will be more effective in developing the athlete’s fitness level. Systematic training A training programme must be orderly in method or planning. Scientific training A training programme must be based on scientific principles. Role of the coach The coach’s responsibility is to assist the athlete in all aspects and forms of training. 5.3 Main features of general fitness training Mobility The first consideration in examining general fitness training is mobility. Mobility is defined as the capacity of joints and joint chains for flexion and extension.
