I do all core-based alignment training and strength training. If I don't die at the end of 90 minutes, then it hasn't been a good workout.
With racing, there's not one thing you need to be really strong at, it's a combination. You need a good base of cardio, good core, good neck strength. I think core and neck are the most important, but it's certainly not my favourite. Neck training is pretty boring.
For the off-ice training, I do basic strength training, and for the on-ice training, I practice jumps, spins, steps, and my new long program with my new coach Peter Oppegard.
Strength training is an important part of every athlete's training program, but for me it's become almost like a sanctuary.
I believe it's extremely important to include some other type of fitness activity in your training, so cross training will help you to avoid injury when you are dancing.
If you are training properly, you should progress steadily. This doesn't necessarily mean a personal best every time you race ... Each training session should be like putting money in the bank. If your training works, you continue to deposit into your 'strength' account ... Too much training has the opposite effect. Rather than build, it tears down. Your body will tell when you have begun to tip the balance. Just be sure to listen to it.
I do a lot of weight training, and my workouts are intense, which include cardios, core body workouts, and functional training.
My workouts include aerobic exercise for a healthy cardiovascular system; strength training to maintain muscle tone and bone density; core strength exercise for a stable mid-section; and stretching to maintain mobility.
You had to be strong in the head... training, training and training. That is the only way, even if you have big talent.
Training is bad for you! Training followed by rest and proper nutrition is good for you and will make you better prepared for the event you are training for.
It is impossible to follow Cristiano Ronaldo in training. When we arrive, he is already training, when we leave he is still training, I have never seen a player like it.
It's not always shine and good feelings in training. But when it comes down to it you need to have that happiness and motivation in training.
Without training, I'm nothing. If I'm not training, I'm done. Any athlete, they have to train and they have to practice to win games. For sure. One hundred percent. You have to be training.
When you arrive at the training ground, you need to disconnect and focus on training.
I mean, I grew up an athlete training and training and training. So I kind of have that mentality.
I love the way this sport has evolved and impacted every segment of society. Now you have cross training and weight training in every sport and from middle school kids to senior citizens.
