Why did Drew Brees win the MVP?

I remember reading this article in Sports Illustrated and seeing Drew using these TRX straps as part of his conditioning. This is why I got involved with Fitness Anywhere and TRX. I’ve always been a Brees fan through our AdvoCare business but I was upset when he was traded to the New Orleans Saints from our San Diego Chargers. Even though he played in New Orleans he kept training with the best personal trainer in the business, Todd Durkin, whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Watch this video about Drew and listen to what he says in the beginning.

I’m back. Blogging and training. Finally.

It’s a new year and I’m a month late. Well, better late than never I guess. One of my so-called resolutions for this year is that I blog more. One of the subjects I would like to discuss is management and more specifically how to motivate your people. I don’t claim to have all the answers - if anything I may use this platform to vent.

Enough about that. Today I started my TRX programming again and I going to use Todd Durkin’s Train Like the Pros series for the next few weeks. After that I would like to transition into the TRX 12 week military program and complete that by the end of spring. I’m still running but not at the pace I was a year ago. I’ve been suffering from some pain in my knee and feet and think that I may have overtrained for the half marathon in March. As for half’s, Im looking at the new San Diego Half Marathon that will take place with the Rock N Roll Marathon in June. I just need to figure out a way to get there.

TRX Force Kit: Best total body tool voted by Men’s health magazine

Best Total-Body Tool

Fitness Anywhere TRX Suspension Trainer FORCE Kit

Designed by a Navy SEAL as a go anywhere workout, this set of nylon straps creates resistance from two sources always at your disposal: body weight and gravity. Lock the straps onto any elevated fixture - a pullup bar, door, or tree branch - and you’ll unlock new dimensions in your training. Resistance can be adjusted from 5 percent to 100 percent of body weight by changing the incline of your body.
