Yesterday was another example of why one trains, at least it was for me!
I played 2 games of baseball in nearly 100 degree heat index, a total of 17 innings chasing balls in the outfield and running the basepaths.
I not only am the oldest outfielder on our team, I consistently play the most amount of innings and am the least tired and the one that seems never to get hurt. Hmmm.....interesting1 :)
I say this not to brag but to illustrate a point.
It is not be accident that this is the case but rather a by-product of my comprehensive approach to training: mobility and dynamic warmup work, sprint and power work, strength training and conditioning work.
Too many people get fixated on one component of training or another ,usually one that they do well at which compromises their overall readiness to move well, move for long periods of time and move explosively without getting hurt.
The point is there is no one way but only a comprehensive way to train well. No one component of training is the solution nor is one way of training the answer. So neither Yoga, Pilates, strength training, power stretching, running, you name it is the be all and end all of training. And anyone who advocates that either is ignorant or trying to sell you something.
Train hard and train smart!
