Foundation Fitness
The foundation of physical training on the Way of Sports
Throughout the course of athletic training and competition, the physical body's muscle, joint and connective tissues can be thrown out of balance. Muscles that are meant to stabilize are forced to be mobile and muscles that are meant to be mobile become stiff and tight due to overuse and abuse. Muscles that accelerate in sport can also become out of balance with muscles that decelerate all affecting performance.
When these kinds of imbalances are present in the body and the intense forces and high workloads associated with sport are added, the result can be chronic spot soreness, reduced range of motion, premature wear and tear and at worst injury.
There is a remedy. There is a workout regimen that’s in tune with Pacific Rim martial arts philosophies and is designed to bring the body back into balance - front to back, top to bottom, accelerators and decelerators and emphasizing stability, mobility and flexibility. It's the foundation workout by which you can have less chronic pain, soreness, and stiffness. It is a time-friendly workout which requires only your body weight, some floor space and wall space. It is a workout that will help you realize absolute strength gains of 10-15% and support the physical demands of any sport.
Foundation Fitness is a time-friendly, space-friendly, expense-friendly workout designed to bring all the muscles, joints, connective tissue and skeleton into total balance. The training protocols emphasize use of body weight as resistance and automatically identify weak links in the system and strengthen them. The result is better stability, mobility, and flexibility, increases in absolute strength and better feel for how the body moves and stabilizes through athletic activity.
Within the four variables of sports performance, body awareness and balance is the key. Foundation fitness is the ideal regimen to do on a daily basis to increase physical balance and body awareness. When done daily for 30 minutes to an hour, weak links will become strong links and the force taken by the body athletic activity will be evenly handled by a balanced body and help to improve overall performance.
