Exercise of the Week - Plank Leg Raise with Dr. Mark Frisk

The Plank exercise by itself is one of my favorites. It is very safe, and it works so many important muscles.
Mark does a great job of keeping his hips up as he raises and lowers his legs. His glutes are firing as he lifts the leg and his abdominal cavity is bracing [...]

Working out with Hideko Hallman

Last night I had my weekly 45 minute training session with Hideko Hallman. Hideko is a 3.5 tennis player that enjoys feeling good off the court, as well as on the court.
When I am not with her, Hideko maintains her form by training at her home gym with the exercises that I [...]

TRX Suspension Pushup with Weight Vest/Perfect Pushup

As you can see from my latest blogs, I’ve been using my TRX Suspension Trainer quite a bit. Bob Dykes, my client from last night, called me, “Q”, from the James Bond movie. “Q” was the person in charge of giving 007 all of his latest and greatest gadgets. I [...]

Pauly P Lateral Shuffle - Interval Training

As you can see from this video, Interval Training at High Intensity, is a form of training that takes the individual into a high heart rate arena, and inflicts major pain. Having said this, I love interval training because it raises the anaerobic threshold of the individual, can be broken down into different [...]

Over Training - What are the signs?

In this article, I explore the always lurking syndrome of “overtraining”. For athletes and coaches, it is something that can make or break you; both literally and figuratively. If you are not close to 100% physically and mentally charged for your competition, you are only robbing yourself and your team. [...]

The Pauly P Lateral Baseline Shuffle

Here is an excellent drill to get you moving side to side well at the baseline. Now keep in mind, I am not a world class athlete anymore…I use to be, but that was many years ago. My point is, that although I did a respectable 16.06 time here, the top tennis [...]

Field Workout - 20 yard Sprints - with Resistance

I have never been a fan of squats. Whenever I did them I felt that there was significant risk of injury to the lower back and that the muscles being used were primarily the mid to lower back muscles. Athletes need to run, not jump from spot to spot. This [...]
