Had a really good day today. Had a enjoyable breakfast with the family and then it was off to train some Brazilian Ju Jitsu at the Codella Academy. My current schedule has made it very hard to train, so I plan on taking advantage of my vacation and get some training in. Mike Codella ran a great training session today. We didn't stop moving for 90 minutes. We started off the session with some back domes, prone mountains and some scorpions to get our lower backs loose before we rolled.
When we were done training I talked with my BJJ brothers about the importance of keeping yourself healthy. My main point was not wait for injuries to occur before you address them. Keep your body strong to prevent them from happening. Eat strong, train smart and listen to your body. As the intensity of your training increases the chance of injury will become greater. At MBG S.I.N.Y. we address this every day. We focus on alignment to correct misalignments we have acquired throughout our life. We train full body movements that increase our functional strength. The last and most important thing is we encourage our clients to eat strong foods. I felt great today during my training. This is a direct result of training using the MBG philosophy.
A lot of exciting things are on the horizon. We have our Nutrition seminar on label reading on January 29. This will include a discussion on how to read labels on foods and realize what you should be looking for. We will also have a tasting of some whole-food, plant based foods as well as a recipe swap for people in attendance. Our first 60 day challenge is fast approaching and a start date will be announced soon. And each day that passes brings the spring one day closer!
Look forward to training with you all this week!
