There are no secrets*

Ever read about or talk to people who have found the "magic" formula, subscribed to some exclusive system or joined some mysterious "elite only" level gym or training club? Trust me they're out there. What you should always keep in mind when you encounter these various training "philosophies" or methods is simply this - there are no secrets to training and no exclusive "magic" routines. Although there are some things you or I may not know about exercise and the science of sport physiology, what the science says is what has been tested and proven by the facts - and it is not hype.

To get stronger you have to lift heavier.
To be faster you have to train for speed and quickness.
To go longer you have to train for endurance.
To generate more force you have to train for power.
To reach farther and be more agile you have to stretch.
To be leaner you have to build muscle and lose fat.
To achieve difficult goals you have to train hard.
To avoid over training you need recovery time.
To avoid injury you have to do it right and not over do it.
To have total fitness you have to train all aspects of fitness.

There are no secrets!

This is what I have learned over my years of training and if there is any one reason that I started this blog it is to post those ten simple principles. The hard part is (to borrow a phrase) just doing it - and of coarse, staying as injury free as possible.
