Swimmer Barry Shore & TI Coach Fiona Laughlin Filmed & edited by Fiona Laughlin Filmed at Culver City Plunge in Los Angeles Special thanks to Diego Cevallos at Culver City Plunge Inspiring interview with TI swimmer Barry Shore who used TI in his road to recovery from being a quadripalegic to being a swimmer who swims 4 hours per day. TI is the “yoga of swimming” as he says.
Physical fitness is the ability to function effectively throughout your workday, perform your usual other activities and still have enough energy left over to handle any extra stresses or emergencies which may arise.
The components of physical fitness are:
* Cardiorespiratory (CR) endurance – the efficiency with which the body delivers oxygen and nutrients needed for muscular activity and transports waste products from the cells.
* Muscular strength – the greatest amount of force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single effort.
* Muscular endurance – the ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated movements with a sub-maximal force for extended periods of times.
* Flexibility – the ability to move the joints or any group of joints through an entire, normal range of motion.
* Body composition – the percentage of body fat a person has in comparison to his or her total body mass.
Improving the first three components of fitness listed above will have a positive impact on body composition and will result in less fat. Excessive body fat detracts from the other fitness components, reduces performance, detracts from appearance, and negatively affects your health.
Factors such as speed, agility, muscle power, eye-hand coordination, and eye-foot coordination are classified as components of “motor” fitness. These factors most affect your athletic ability. Appropriate training can improve these factors within the limits of your potential. A sensible weight loss and fitness program seeks to improve or maintain all the components of physical and motor fitness through sound, progressive, mission specific physical training.
Principles of Exercise
Adherence to certain basic exercise principles is important for developing an effective program. The same principles of exercise apply to everyone at all levels of physical training, from the Olympic-caliber athlete to the weekend jogger.
These basic principles of exercise must be followed.
Regularity
To achieve a training effect, you must exercise often. You should exercise each of the first four fitness components at least three times a week. Infrequent exercise can do more harm than good. Regularity is also important in resting, sleeping, and following a sensible diet.
Progression
The intensity (how hard) and/or duration (how long) of exercise must gradually increase to improve the level of fitness.
Balance
To be effective, a program should include activities that address all the fitness components, since overemphasizing any one of them may hurt the others.
Variety
Providing a variety of activities reduces boredom and increases motivation and progress.
Specificity
Training must be geared toward specific goals. For example, people become better runners if their training emphasizes running. Although swimming is great exercise, it does not improve a 2-mile-run time as much as a running program does.
Recovery
A hard day of training for a given component of fitness should be followed by an easier training day or rest day for that component and/or muscle group(s) to help permit recovery. Another way to allow recovery is to alternate the muscle groups exercised every other day, especially when training for strength and/or muscle endurance.
Overload
The work load of each exercise session must exceed the normal demands placed on the body in order to bring about a training effect.
Navy SEAL BUD/SPrep Training. EXTREME SEAL EXPERIENCE.com. Hell Night, Platoon, Advanced, SEAL Sniper, and SEAL Advanced Operator Training. SEAL Training BUDS Prep. Helo Cast, Underwater Knot Tying, Drown Proofing Training Our Training Course “Hell Night” is an intense 24-hours designed to show guys how to survive Navy SEAL Hell Week. This is accomplished by using all SEAL instructors who have survived BUDS themselves and teach guys how they did it. The day gets progressively harder and at midnight, we take off the gloves as Instructors and see if trainees have learned anything they were taught during the day. Not a mindless day of push-ups and wind sprints, this is a training course dedicated to helping guys survive the “number one” evolution in BUDS ( Hell Week) that trainees quit BUDS Training participating in. “You can’t do that in just 24-hours!” THE F**KI CAN’T! I have since 1992 and it works… The second hardest part of BUDS is staying motivated for six hard months. Most guys know a lot about BUDS, but little about the ultimate goal, which is SEAL Team and each push-up and each day in BUDS becomes harder. We take care of that with Platoon and Advanced Training and show guys some of what they’ll be doing as SEALs. Training with SEALs and asking questions, planning missions, shooting weapons and combat survival helps maintain focus for the “Toughest Military Training in the World.” Kick Some Ass. www.extremesealexperience.com http www.mcmfamily.com

Te pozycji zaczynamy wykonywanie swimmingu. Jedną rękę wyciągamy do przodu, robimy to w czasie wdechu. Przy wydechu powrót i zmiana ręki. Trzeba zwrócić uwagę, że pracuje jedynie ręka, pozostała część naszego ciała jest cały czas w pozycji wyjściowej. Po kilku powtórzeniach zmieniamy układ tego ćwiczenia w ciąży: zaczynają pracę nasze nogi, natomiast ręce są nieruchome, służą nam tylko do podparcia. Nogę ćwiczącą wysuwamy do tyłu, jednak cały czas palce stóp są oparte o podłogę. Kończyna jest prosta w kolanie. Robimy to na …
