How to improve both Fitness and BBall skills at same time?

I am currently doing bodyweight training, and i was wondering how i would go about using basketball training/Practice to work on my cardio/fitness. I’m not talking about actually playing, just some training exercises that i can do alone that will improve both my bball skills and fitness.

Here are three things that I did growing up to improve my BB skills as well as my fitness while doing the drills….

1. Jumping over a yardstick suspended by two orange parking cones. Jump back and forth over the yardstick. Do it for one minute at a time. Will help your aerobics, but also will increase your vertical jump.

2. Dribble basketball length of court in between chairs set up at specific intervals. Pretend the chairs are individuals you are trying to keep the basketball away from. Good aerobic activity and also helps improve your basketball dribbling abilities as well.

3. George Mikan drill. Hookshot layups over and over again underneath the basket for one minute at a time or until you are absolutely tired.

After each of these drills my old basketball coach would make me shoot 10 free throws. If I made 10 then he would knock a certain percentage off each drill. If I made 9, a different percentage. If I made less than 9, then I would continue at the same rate.

Nevertheless, I became a great jumper, rebounder, dribbler (for a big guy, 6’5″) and free throw shooter

Earned a college basketball scholarship, which helped put me through college without my parents paying an arm and a leg.

will I be laughed out of the personal training program?

Okay a bit of history. Last year I was 100 pounds overweight. So far I have lost 50 pounds through diet, cardio and weights. During my time working with my personal trainer I have become very interested in health and fitness. I would like to take a two year program to become a personal trainer but worried that bc Im still 50 pounds overweight I wont be taken seriously at the school. I plan to obviously lose the rest of the weight and get more fit by the time I train. I go to the gym 5-6 times a week and eat clean so dont think losing it will be an issue. I was just wondering if its better to wait before starting the program until I lost all the weight or is it okay to start now and lose it over the 2 years of the program. Do the college programs make you do advanced plyometrics?

Ok, I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t accept you. I’d make it clear that you chose to become a trainer through your weight loss and plan on using the last 50 pounds as a sort of “case study” program to test your skills on yourself and form your best plan.

Good luck. By the way, people like you, who’ve done it themselves, are the ones who make the best trainers!

SkyRise Chicago – Willis Tower Stair Climb too tough?

So…I’m really interested in doing the country’s largest indoor stair climb (103 floors) on November 15th. I’m overweight but over the last 2 months I have worked out and lost 15 pounds. I would have a little over 2 months to train for this…but right when I was all motivated to “do the impossible” and put some excitment in my fitness routine I read the waiver that says “I agree that I am fit and have sufficently trained for this”…which well…isn’t the case…its more so I agree that I am becoming increasingly fit and will be training hard everyday. So basically, can people of all abilities really do these or is it just for those crazy marathon athletes.

I am also slightly overweight. Weight does not matter! I did the Hustle Up the Hancock in February 09. It was my first climb. I didn’t come in last, I was near the bottom. But, I FINISHED. (36 minutes. The fastest time was under 10)

After the first 15 floors I would stop every five to get my breath and get my heart rate down. (I wore my Polar monitor)

At the Hustle they had medical staff walking up and down the steps to make sure everyone was ok.

There will be people passing you and you will pass other people. Give it a try, it’s an incredible sense of accomplishment when you get to the top!

Swimming programme for swimathon?

I would like to take part in the Swimathon this year (5km) I have done this distance before but it has been 5 years since and I have not done much swimming since then. I assume that as I used to be a well trained swimmer when I was younger, and as I am only 20, (and was active as a dancer up until 2 years ago) I will be able to get back my fitness levels quickly.

Three miles (a 5K) is going to be a challenge…even in three months. Depending on how good a swimmer you are, it probably could be done.

I would plan on doing mostly freestyle with some backstroke, breaststroke and side stroke thrown in. You will probably get tired and want to change strokes.

Here’s my top ten tips for you:

1. When you practice don’t do fast stuff. Swim easy.
2. Work on long slow relaxed strokes
3. Look at total immersion on youtube for the type of stroke you want. Long, level and stay on your side. Almost no kick.
4. A wet suit will keep you up and make it easier. See if it’s legal and then get one and practice in it.
5. Swimming Set. It will probably take between 2.5 and 3 hours. The first month try to build up to a 90 minute practice, the second month a 2 hour practice, the third month a 2.5 hour practice. Make your long practice twice a week and swim about 2/3 less the other days.
6. Swim six days a week.
7. Do some swimming with no touch turns. When you get to the T you turn and don’t push off. This simulates the swim.
8. Get in some open water swims to get used to being out of the pool.
9. Get two pairs of good goggles. One clear for if it’s dark and one dark for if it’s sunny.
10. Get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluid and keep up your nutrition. You will be pushing yourself much harder than you’ve been doing.

Good luck and have fun!

Should I lift weights for P90X?

I’m turning 14 tomorrow and have been doing many different variations of push ups, pull ups, chin ups, and dips for the past year and a half. I have seen some great results and am much more muscular than my peers. I recently started the P90X Home Fitness DVDs, but realized that many exercises require lifting weights. I have weights at home, and am prepared to use them. But I am worried of stunting my growth.

I don’t think you’ll have any trouble, but check with your nutritionist or gym teacher at school (I know it’s summer, but they have weight classes/programs for sure).

As far as resistance, I don’t know (from experience) that it changes anything except that compared to actual weights its a bit less impact (you may want to consider this since you’re still growing). This will protect your joints and ligaments from overstress.

key thing here is to consult a professional. Sounds like you’re doing well though, good work! (and remember your cardio)

How do I tell my male fitness trainer about when I have cramps without directly saying it?

Okay, so I’m 17 years old and I’m pretty athletic (I’m training to be a runner in the London Olympics ’12), and I have my own personal fitness trainer for track&field related activities. My trainer is male and pretty young, less than 10 years older than me..well he’s really good and all and I’ve known him for pretty much my whole life. We train for several hours daily and usually I run pretty fast and my times always improve all the time, etc..This is pretty embarrassing to ask, but is there a way to somehow let him know when I’m on my period? It’s usually not a huge problem for me and it doesn’t affect my running much, except for when I get really bad cramps…..and I’m sure he already knows when I’m on because I obviously get tired more quickly, but is there a way I can let him know beforehand so he won’t push me so hard? Idk, i’m just not comfortable with saying it directly to his face….

Maybe you can just tell you him you haven’t been feeling too good the past few days, and ask him to take it a little easy. Or you can just tell him it is female problems, men usually dont have anything else to say after you tell them that! lol.

Also, if you have cramps and you plan on training that day, you can take tylenol or midol, or something of that sort, to help ease the cramps.

Fitness for Basic Training – Pushups?

Hello,

Here is a good link for everything to get your started! I give to everyone who needs and this site some info we use in the active Army for study questions.

As for the pushups…just do elevated ones mixed in with the ‘lady’ ones. Also do pull-ups and dips! They will help increase your reps. Start off with one or two. sounds like nothing, but increase to a higher number every couple of days. Before you know it, you will be knocking out 40 or 50 with no prob. And hit the gym and pump iron. Yep, bench press and squats. Get that ab wall and back strong too. alot of women get short of breath so do cardio. Hell do kickboxing and track and you will be what we call a PT ‘stud’.

Just don’t overdo it and cause injuries. alot of young women get stress factures from wearing boots for the first time and all that running. Prep now for that!
