Even Superheroes should warm up before a workout. A good warm-up can provide some of the following benefits: Helps increase blood flow to muscles and other tissues Wakes up the nervous system Increases range of motion Prepares the cardiovascular system for exercise Enhances coordination, body awareness, balance, and reaction time I'm a big fan of Rock and Roll. If you've followed any of my posts from the past, you'll know I'm a big believer in getting on the ground to rock an

Superheroes need to have physical strength! It doesn't mean we have to turn green and lift a house, but we should have at the very minimum, a modest level of strength that allows us to do all the things we want to do. Strength becomes even more important as we age. A study has shown that a person's life span is reduced if they have trouble getting up and down from the ground. Ultimately, the research proves that a lack of strength and flexibility has detrimental affects to ou

As physical training goes, I believe that nothing so closely aligns with superhero training as natural movement does. Natural movement includes balancing, lifting/carrying, throwing/catching, climbing, crawling, jumping, running, swimming, and martial arts (striking and wrestling). Basically all the things we did when we played as children. In 2012, I became certified as a level 2 MovNat trainer. It was during this seminar that I fell in love with natural movement. After the

Agility may be one of the most important physical training aspects of the Uncanny Online Superhero Training Program. If you're going to be a Superhero, you have to be agile. Even more importantly, if you want to age gracefully, avoid falls, improve cognitive performance, and move well throughout your life, you should train it even more. I believe it's so important that literally everyone I coach in the gym these days has some form of agility training as part of their program.

Uncanny Online Superhero Training was built on a notion of helping people, and helping others is a key component to the Superhero life. There are some great health advantages to donating our time to help others. Studies have shown that the benefits are both physical and mental. A survey by UnitedHealth Group provided us with many insights into the power of volunteering. According to the survey, taking the time to volunteer can provide some of the following health rewards: Imp

Sleep experts claim that to function optimally, we need to spend one third of our lives sleeping, which equates to about 24 years of total sleep over the average lifetime. Since we aspire to live the Superhero lifestyle, sleep is an necessary component. There is a good chance you may be lacking sleep if you've chosen to be a night time vigilante (just joking) and even if you're not out fighting crime, it's often tempting to stay up late on the computer, watching TV, or readin

Uncanny Online Superhero Training is a multi-layered training program. When I decided to enter the realm of online fitness training, I could have just stuck to Strength and Conditioning, but I wanted to give people something more. I could have used buzzwords like toned and long, lean muscles, but I wanted to be more than just buzz. I wanted to be different then the 99% of online trainers out there, I wanted to give you useful strategies to live the best life possible, and uti

Everyone has the potential to be a superhero, but superhero training is not for everyone. Superhero training is about improving every facet of our life. It doesn't matter where we are starting from. Everyone of us can build a powerful mind, a strong body, have more endurance, and learn to defend ourselves. When tough situations present themselves, are we going to need to be rescued, or are we going to be the rescuer? I believe it's hard for many people to picture themselves a

A Superhero must be resolute with their time. To reach your full potential and unleash your inner superhero, you should be too. Superheroes must organize their time and their lives, to be able to pursue the things that they are passionate about and that are important to them. Being organized can help save time and reduce stress. Here are a few ways you can get organized and stay that way. Eliminate Procrastination. Deal with everything sooner than later.
