FQD 10.31.2010 [Sir Isaac Newton]
Fitness Question of the Day [10/31/2010]
Question:
You quoted Newton the other day so do you often think of workouts in terms of science? William Blase, Rockville, MD
[10/27/2010]
The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy by Sir Isaac Newton
Axioms of Motion - Law 1:
Every body preserves in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed thereon.
For our purposes: A body in motion stays in motion. Let's get moving!
Answer:
Excellent question!
Yes, I do. Aside from the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of movement and exercise, there exists pure science. One of my favorite sportsmen of all time --Brooks Johnson, USA Track & Field-- coaches and lectures in scientific terms and I love it!
Sir Isaac Newton's Law 1, simplified, that governs motion:
INERTIA
Body at rest tends to stay at rest / Body in motion tends to stay in motion: unless acted upon by an outside and superior force.
P = mv [momentum = mass x velocity, where 'm' represents "center" or inertial mass]
AND
F = ma [force = mass x acceleration]
And that’s how it’s done!™ - ADUB©

FQD 10.30.2010 [Sleep!]
Fitness Question of the Day [10/30/2010]
Question:
Dear Energizer Bunny, Do you ever get tired? Salona, The Best Coast
Answer:
Yes! I do wear myself out at times. In so doing, though, I lead myself to my second favorite activity on the planet: Sleeping. If I could, I would add SLEEP to my resume under the Experience and Skills sections, respectively. This girl's got talent! And that’s how it’s done!™ - ADUB©

FQD 10.29.2010 [Golf Warm-Up]
Fitness Question of the Day [10/29/2010]
Question:
What is the best stretch you can do before you start hitting balls at the range? Grete Eliassen of http://www.saymynameski.com
Answer:
Power and stability come from one's foundation, no? Just as in skiing, legs are the driving force(s). I always make certain to attend to my legs -especially hamstrings- and center of mass: Glutes and Hip Flexors. Deep stationary lunges, "Runners" Lunges and Hamstring stretches are my favorites. Of course upper body flexibility is also important, but far too often I see golfers on the range exclusively warming up their arms. The most common injury and discomfort for golfers occurs in the lower back. This pain is often the result of weak and inflexible lower body. Always think total body and functional movements when playing or preparing to play golf. And that’s how it’s done!™ - ADUB©

FQD 10.28.2010 [Too Much Cardio?]
Fitness Question of the Day [10/28/2010]
Question:
How often should you exercise your abs, and is Cardio 45min 5-6 day/wk with weight training too much? Carmen Harris of Houston, TX
Answer:
Let's try this. Make certain to alternate your resistance training focus. For example, a 5-day workout rotation: Monday, Upper. Wednesday, Lower. Friday, Multi-joint [ MJ = Total Body with more emphasis on functional, stretching and body weight movements]. There is nothing wrong with doing 45 minutes of steady-state cardio each of those five days just as there is nothing wrong with doing core work each of the days. It is inaccurate to believe that you can't do lower body weight training and cardio on the same day. How would elite athletes account for their success(es) if they couldn't train cardio and resistance simultaneously or on the same day. If you prefer, break up your sessions - morning and evening. This is assuming that you are simply doing steady-state cardio and not high intensity interval training everyday, for example.
The most important part of our model five day rotation, though, is the "rest and recovery" segment. You will notice that days 6 and 7, wherever arranged, are "free days." This is not a mere suggestion. In order to become "progressively more aggressive" with your workout regimen and fitness goals, you must build in rest as it is integral to growth. One last note, ALWAYS listen to your body first and don't be wary of experimentation. Ultimately, you are your own trainer as you know your body most intimately. What is it telling you? How does it feel? And, are you doing too much? These answers should dictate much of your workout scheduling. And that’s how it’s done!™ - ADUB©
