Trainer Tips with Joe PetersonOctober 1, 2019 Imagine you are driving down the road at night and all of sudden you see a big brown furry object with a white stick-like object on top of its head in the middle of the road. Your reaction time will determine if you’re going to spend thousands of dollars on repairs, or just simply experience a spike in your heartrate. An alternate point of view would be whether you will be able to catch a flying object or allow the object to smack you in the face causing a bruising effect before a picture day. Your reaction time is influenced by the speed and accuracy of your cognitive abilities, and your cognition is influenced by factors such as diet and overall physical health. Understanding how these factors work together can go a long way into improving your reaction time and to help you save money and embarrassment. |

Perkville Fitness Challenge: April 2019April 5, 2019 The Ergometer (a.k.a. Rowing Machine) The rowing machine, also called an ergometer or “erg” for short, is a great full body workout. While it is used very often by rowers, it can be a great machine for cross training and has become increasingly popular in CrossFit workouts. Loren Howard (USA) holds the world record for the most meters in 1 minute with 430m rowed in 2019. The muscles used in a complete rowing stroke on the erg include hamstrings, quads, calves, glutes, front and side abdominals, chest, shoulders, biceps, triceps, and mid and lower back. The rowing stroke is made up of 60% lower body, 20% core, and 20% arm muscles. |
