Weekly Sports training tip - power up you core!!

I always get the same old questions and concerns when it comes to training for sports, especially baseball, tennis, golf, you know all the throwing and rotational sports.

Is it good to swing a weighted (insert sports tool here, i.e - bat, club, etc..) for increased power?

Should I do oblique crunches to strengthen my rotational power?

Very good questions. Very rational thinking

However, I think there has been some advances in training that has helped us generate better results with rotational core training.

For a faster swing, shot, serve, whatever the sport - you need to be doing a combination of power/explosive movements, as well as what I call anti-rotational movements.

Here's an example of explosive;



Now thats how you create power!!!

Ok now what about this anti - rotation stuff?

I'm gonna tease you with this one...

I'll fill ya in next week

till then find a wall (preferably concrete) and start punding away!!!
