Turning baby steps into strides
Each workout begins with the treadmill. Since day one I have gradually increased time, speed, distance, incline and calories burned. When time runs out, I step off the belt pleased that I’m not out of breath.

A former sprint hurdler and triple jumper, I understand the benefits of strong legs, including how muscles protect and assist joints, so I spend time working on machines designed for seated leg curls, leg extensions and leg presses. Progress is reasonable as I’m slowly and comfortably increasing weight and repetitions.

My work on arms, chest and shoulders needs to improve. Just when I believe I’m getting somewhere, my body tells me otherwise and I back off before something gets injured.

“I thought I was looking into a mirror,” said Vincent (Danny DeVito) to his unlikely separated-at-birth twin brother, Julius (Arnold Schwarzenegger), when they first met in the early scenes of the 1988 movie, Twins. I used that line a

Improving FMS Scores With Basic Core Exercises
by Eric D'Agati

A recently published study in the Journal of Sport Rehabilitation looked at how exercise intervention might improve scores in the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) of collegiate athletes.

The researchers demonstrated a good understanding of the FMS and how to gather data. Their study suggested that the intervention did improve scores, but it's probably not how you'd think they'd improve.

The interesting slant that these researchers took was to see the effects of having the only intervention be a standard protocol of popular core exercises and seeing the impact it would have on FMS scores.
