What can I do to have a faster first step in sports?

Tommy – NY

In order to become fast from the moment you make your first stride, you will need to train fast, and also work on explosive drills. You will definitely want to do sprinting drills around three times a week, and involve some plyometrics. Plyometrics are great for your central nervous system, and teaching your nervous system to fire all at once will definitely help you to have a quicker first step. Plyometrics will also help you jump higher too. Some quick foot drills will also help you with getting faster out of the blocks. If you want to be fast, then do fast speed workouts.

Are weight belts necessary every time I lift heavy weights?

Samuel, OH

Ask the Fitness Dude’s Answer:

This might come as a shock to some readers, but…no. You do not have to wear a weight belt when you lift heavy weights. The reason being and the reason why professional lifters do not wear weight belts, except with competition weights, is because they need to build core strength. You, also need to build core strength. Before you decide to start lifting heavy weights, make sure that you are strong in your torso, hips and shoulders. You might want to start working on those areas regularly, so that you can start strengthening your core and handle more difficult weights without using a weight belt.

Weight Training Daily?

Joe Asked:

I am currently doing weight training daily, is this okay to do or do I

need to give the muscles a break?

Ask The Fitness Dudes Answer:

Well Joe, it is okay to do weight training everyday as long as you are working out different muscle groups. It is bad when you are doing upper body workouts everyday, or even full body workouts everyday. You never want to workout the same muscles everyday. By alternating muscle groups, you will be allowing your body to recover and build. I would still allow yourself one day where you do not do any workouts at all. When you do weightlifting your muscles tear and then when you rest your muscles repair and rebuild. If you were to workout the same muscles everyday, they would never repair.

ChaLean Extreme and Insanity Workout

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

B. Hampton asked:

Should I do weekly rotations between ChaLean and Insanity? I can’t seem to maintain a straight program of Insanity and thought a rotation would be more helpful rather than no workouts because I’m tired or worn out.

Ask The Fitness Dude’s Answer:

First off, if any of you are not familiar with the ChaLean Extreme Workout or Insanity Workout, they are workout DVDs that can be done in your very own home, for either 60 to 90 days. Both ChaLean Extreme and the Insanity Workout come with nutrition guides and fitness guides. To answer Mr. Hampton’s question…Yes, you can do anything you want with these workout DVDs. If you get bored or if the workouts get repetitious , then it is definitely okay to switch it up.

Just make sure that you are not always working out the same body region. Another disadvantage is that you will not be able to follow the calendars that the workouts plan out for you. You will need to make sure that you stay disciplined and keep really good track of where you are at in the workouts. Both of these workouts are great and different, so they should compliment each other very well.

Than you for your question.
