How to Eliminate the Top Five Triathlete Training Injuries – Part 2

Wouldn’t you rather be a part of the 13% of athletes that are injury free? Back [Click Here]

Strength training without a plan is just indiscriminate training. How do you know where you are weak? And what exercises are actually eliminating injury risk not increasing it?

Strength training becomes very effective when you learn this one skill:  How to keep the spine stable when the arms and legs are moving resistance. This includes weights, resistance bands, or your body itself.

Here are some quick exercise videos that show you how to begin eliminating injuries by targeting weak and inflexible areas.

The Body Band-It design teaches your body how to stop the spine from moving when you apply loads to the arms, legs, or both, to make movement happen. The more you improve at this skill, the faster and more injury resistant you become.  And even better still, your body will work more effectively by eliminating energy leaks in the trunk as it becomes the non-moving platform for the arms and legs to work from and athletes simultaneously see significant and rapid improvement in PRs 

Work these exercises and begin to experience the results we’ve seen across triathletes, cross fit athletes, professional athletes, collegiate athletes, master’s athletes, Olympians, and national champions.

  2. Lower Leg (23%)    –  [Standing Hamstring Curl
  3. Lower Back (23%)  –  [Squat Down Strength Series]
  4. Shoulder                 –  [Squat Press/Shoulder Press]
  5. Upper Leg               –  [Effective Lunge Stretch ]

Body Band-It Demo/Certification

Serious about training and fitness? If you are looking for a serious training edge then you need get on a Body Band-It.  After thousands of hours of beta testing and many design upgrades we are ready for commercial release.
See why schools like Cornell, Yale, Harvard, Syracuse, URI, and many more are now regularly training on the Body Band-It,l. Some of the teams now only use the Band-It as their complete strength and flexibility training system.
I want to invite you to go through a free training session and learn why and how I created the Band-It by combining my world class rowing background with my 25 years of physical therapy experience and CSCS knowledge.

I will be holding a series of classes over the next month and I am also planning a Body Band-It certification class to be held on February 26th (9:30 to 12:30).

Body Band-It New Video – Lateral Lunge Pushes & Pulls

Hi Robert
A Body Band-It – Happy New Year!
I have shot a number of new videos and will be getting them out to you. They will be hosted on my YouTube channel. Subscribe if you want to see the latest additions.

This exercise is great for working the trunk, arms, and legs in a lateral motion.

Make sure you keep the tube close to your body during the movement. If you have the version with the Concept 2 footboards make sure you are standing on the Velcro straps. With the new version you must securely stand on the L-footplate to make sure it does not slip.

In the pulling motion I have a BLUE band (this direction you will have more power), and the pushing motion where the band is attached around the footboard tube and handle I am using a RED band (this direction is more challenging).

I alternate directions doing sets or 20 to 30 reps and I usually will complete 3 to 5 sets.

Testimonials:

 

Please do share any successes you have had on the Body Band-It. Love to share your powerful stories to help others see the power of the Body Band-It. Email me directly.

Here is a recent story about the Body Band-It directly from the Head Women’s Rowing Coach at University of Rhode Island.

 

Quote:

 

I have been using the Body Band-It™ with my team for two years.    I wanted to see if the “Body Band-It™” or weightlifting was more effective.   I had two groups throughout the winter.  One group just did the body band it and the other lifted free weights with our strength coach.     The group that did the Body Band-It™ were more efficient and always finished before the other group.    I (and the weight room group) noticed that the Body Band-It™ group’s erg scores were improving more than the weight room only group.   

 

I started to get athletes asking me if they could join the Body Band-It™ group!

I also use the body band it to help rehab injured athletes.   

  

I personally use the Body Band-It™ myself.    I noticed that I get a great work out.  Both the big and small muscle groups are used, which I never felt by doing free weights.  I also noticed that my muscles felt fatigued but not ripped or bashed up (like they felt from free weights) and I recovered much quicker from training sessions.   The Body Band-It™ also works on flexibility and full range of motion which is need in the sport of rowing.
