Running Clinics

NEW: Saturday Running Clinics 11am

Every Saturday in September we will be hosting an in-house Running Clinic. The location will be either the gym or in the River Valley. Details will be posted each week regarding locations and directions.

Each day we will take you through some drills to improve your technique and put you through a running workout to apply what your learned.

These sessions will be free to our members, drop in fee applies to those outside of our facility.

WATCH THIS VIDEO

This clinic will help improve your technique and improve your running times within WOD's and endurance sports. It is meant as a supplement to our regular programming and will not be as detailed as the Endurance Certification which will fine tune your technique, teach programming and nutrition, and do a video analysis of your gait before and after to see improvement. Anyone interested in really working on their technique and wants to understand the science and 'why' of POSE running should attend the full Certification which will be held on October 23, 24 at our Facility.

Money in the Bank

I found this article the other day and ended up reading it everyday this week. I tried to come up with a good way to paraphrase it to share just the highlights but in the end I could not do it justice. Here is an article from Men's Health written by the editor on how fitness is like money in the bank. It just might make you feel differently about exercise. Share this with others and lets get this country healthier!!

Best Life: From the Editor Men's Fitness 2010
Muscle in the Bank
Your workout and your 401(k) have more in common than you think

"IF YOU'RE A HARDWORKING PROFESSIONAL with a commitment to fitness, you're occasionally faced with the question (usually posed by someone with a thicker waistline than yours), "How do you find time to go to the gym?" But if you're a hardworking professional with a commitment to financial security, no one ever asks, "How do you find time to go to the bank?"

Part of the reason for that, of course, is that unlike your bank account, you can't manage your body online . . . yet. (Though we do have an app for that.) But another part has to do with a basic misunderstanding of saving and investing, versus spending. If you go to the bank and shift funds into your IRA, people say you're "investing" in your future. But if you go to the gym, they say you're "spending" your time there. And that's one reason why so many of us become discouraged in our pursuit of fitness--it so often feels as if there are more important things to do, that we're "spending" precious time on a luxury.

But what if you looked at going to the gym the same way you look at going to the bank? What if each workout wasn't a matter of time spent, but of time invested? And what if muscle paid dividends, and the more you invested early, the bigger the payoff later on?

That's exactly the way you should be thinking of your fitness, both financial and physical. Just as you should start investing for retirement while you're young--even if you don't feel you can afford to--so too should you start investing for the future health-wise, long before vital body systems threaten to break down. Because whether it's your body or your money, failing to invest early will cost you dearly over the long haul. In fact, if you're not investing now, you're losing ground.

Here's why: When you put your money under a mattress instead of investing it, you lose about 3 percent a year, give or take, because of inflation. Same thing with your body: Without investing in exercise, the average man loses about a pound of muscle mass every 5 years after the age of 25--and beyond age 50, his muscle loss picks up rapidly. (And that leads, of course, to a different kind of inflation.)

The good news is that being financially sound and being physically sound usually go hand in hand. In "Outrun Financial Stress," author Richard Sine points out that the same self-discipline that helps guys hit the gym also helps them make it to the bank. In fact, the typical Men's Health reader is saving money at double the rate of the average American. But Sine points out another, less reassuring fact: We're still not doing enough.

So this month, take stock of two of your greatest investments--your financial portfolio and your physical one. Think of them as one and the same, with equal value. (After all, poor physical health is the fastest way to erode your finances, and financial stress is one of the worst hazards to your health.) And the next time someone asks you where you're going at lunchtime, tell them you're going to the bank--even if you're going to the gym."
