K. I. M. (Keep It Moving)!



Hello Everyone,

I've been wanting to be able to post this link. Use it to watch and reference more of what we do with Z-Health, as our main filter for building YOU as an ATHLETE. The link is to the Z-Health Performance Solutions YouTube Video's Channel: CLICK HERE

Use this channel to learn and refine mobility drill work as well as fitness exercises. To further your knowledge base in reference to your own physical training and understand more about your fitness/athletic development. Make sure you keep an eye out for an athlete you may have trained with and all know very well. I wonder?! Watch Femur Bone Rhythm in a basic lunge.

A whole lot of training and studying went into being a part of this, so I hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think and thanks for taking the time to watch the videos.

Getting Down To Business - Action & Diligence In Training


This is the time of the year where I start to again, regain focus. I'm looking at a number of training protocols that will challenge me over the remainder of the year. It's the time of the year to look at what you have not yet done and get it in. Get things started, gain some significant ground, so the new year can have all the more to offer you. I'm looking at the following aspects in my training:
  1. Starting a small group of combatives training and focusing on some very basic pre-contact cues and the flinch response in different scenarios.
  2. Revisiting and stringing together body-weight exercises routines.
  3. Revisiting all my basic kettlebell work, refining mechanics by addressing my visual and vestibular system, inserting bone rhythm and speed of lift variations for difficulty.
  4. Mastery of my current basketball shooting and lay-up protocol.
  5. Ownership of T-Phase work including muscle testing.
This will all take me to a very different place in my life. It looks to be a rewarding and empowering process. I'm interested in hearing what are some of your micro-goals or plans for your own training are over the remainder of the year. Ask yourself what you have the most to gain from doing and focus on doing a manageable amount of training, once maybe, twice a week. As you progress into the new year you can invest more time. A little consistent work starts to add up quickly over time, keep that in mind! All the best with this.
