In season training and nutrition.
and why ???

Since the season is started up, it’s kind of difficult to stick to a training regiment (especially if you have 5 games in 4 days etc…), which is why you should already be fit by that point.

You can’t really say, "Do this this and this" because you usually do not get a chance to work out at regular intervals, which wouldn’t benefit you much at all, the reason being is you need to be overloaded and get proper rest to receive the full training benefits on a work out. You can’t work out once a week and expect to reach your ceiling level of fitness.

You should be fully fit before you attend your first practice.

You should be in maintenance mode, usually working out as little as 1 time a week will be enough to keep your strength and power gains sustained (Exercises = http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmsFum29zRfMcyiJOZiQOjHty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080225182944AALfEgZ&show=7#profile-info-wioxLD6baa). If you think you’re starting to lose some of it, then go up to 2. Endurance training only needs to be stimulated two or three times a week.

At the end of practice, go do your sprints, ultra-short interval training.
The next day, go for an hour run.
Next day or so, USIT again.

Next week switch it up, so hour run, USIT, hour run.

As for nutrition, it depends on the athlete (principle of individuality, everyone is different), but "a general rule is complex carbs (because they are absorbed and released more slowly than simple carbs, which provides a sustained high energy release. They are also high in minerals, vitamins, and fiber, while low in fat and cholesterol.) should comprise at least 60% of the diet, protein 15-20%, and fat 20-25%. This should be implimented 2 days before a game, and up to breakfast and lunch (if the game is in the evening). 2-3 hours before the game, make sure you consume a high carb, low-fat meal, and make sure you stay hydrated. You could have some whole-wheat bread or muffin, cereal, low-fat milk, and some bananas. Or a light lunch of some lean meats and some water. You should also follow that 3:1 Carb to Protein ratio 24 hours after the game, as it speeds up recovery. If you have a game the following day, just keep with the same ratios.
Learning about the in’s and out’s of internet marketing can be difficult unless you have a great mentor and where can that mentorship be found? If you really want to succeed online you must get yourself a copy of Commission Blueprint 2.0 created by Steven Clayton and Tim Godfrey. The tools alone are worth the cost alone. Best wishes!

Otherwise, a normal diet would be about 50-55% carbs, 15% protein, and 30-35% fat. It should support the highest energy demands for baseball.

Supplements aren’t needed if you are eating properly. If you’re not, they’re nice to have, but your inproper eating habits are still hindering.

There is no convincing evidence that viatmins supplements are necessary for players who consume a high-energy athlete’s diet that contains mainly natural and unprocessed foods.

For water intake, you should have at least .5 liters before the game (not 10 minutes before the game), 100-200 ml every 15 minutes during the game, which is about .5 liter per hour."

If you want to lose weight and improve your body, there are only two things you need to do: start exercising and make better eating choices. Although these are truly the only two things you need to do to start achieving your weight loss goals, most people are intimidated by the mere thought of regular exercise and a proper diet. However, it does not need to be this way. In reality, making these two changes is actually much easier than you may think.

Cardiovascular and resistance training are the two types of exercise that can help you improve your overall health. Although you may like one more than the other, it is important to engage in both types. By doing this, you can ensure that your body is getting a well-rounded workout. Cardiovascular exercise involves anything that raises your heart rate and improves your lung capacity. This can include anything from jogging or running to swimming or jumping rope. By engaging in cardiovascular activity three to four times per week, you will not only start losing weight, but also improve your overall health. The other type of exercise that is essential for a healthy body is resistance training. Resistance training involves any type of weightlifting or strength building activity. Many people skip out on resistance training when trying to lose weight. However, by doing this type of activity several times per week, you will build up muscle mass, which in turn will burn more calories even when you are not doing anything than the fat you previously had did.Just a little bit of new information today for all those internet marketers looking for the best new up and coming release for 2010.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is beginning an exercise routine without also starting a healthy eating plan. Many people try to eat as little as possible or not at all while exercising each day. They are under the misconception that this will help them lose weight faster. In reality, it is extremely important to eat plenty of healthy food each day. This is the only way that you can provide your body with the fuel it needs to help you through your workout.

Before any workout, whether it is cardiovascular or resistance training, you should eat a snack or meal that is rich in good carbohydrates. Good carbohydrates are those which come from substances such as whole-grains. These carbohydrates are essential to maintaining your stamina during a workout. It is important to remember that eating after a workout is just as important as eating before. After your workout, your body needs to replenish and rebuild, therefore, you should be taking in high quality proteins. These can be found in foods such as chicken breasts and egg whites.

In order to get the best results from exercising, it is essential to also get the proper nutrition. By eating foods which fuel your body, you can ensure that you will get the most possible out of your exercising.

i would prefer it to be in the northeast or the rockies (looking for good snowboarding). I have about a 3.56 GPA and am in the top 15% of my class

Physical therapy is a graduate level program in the US, therefore, your undergraduate degree can be from any college in the US. What matters more is how well you complete your prerequisite courses.

However, if you want a list of PT programs in the US, you can go to http://www.apta.org and go to the education programs section. Any school that has maintained consistent accredidation can be considered "a good school."

I am looking to make a training plan and would like to know of any websites or leaflet/ booklets etc where I can get help.

I am looking for something that will give me advice on foods to eat and how to build myself up and maintain a healthy diet.

In short I am looking for a website to help with food nutrition and training planning.

I have been using the daily plate for a few years now and I love it. I keep track of my workouts and my intake. It’s now part of the LiveStrong website so you’ll find it there. good luck!

Like I said I really want to make varsity, but I don’t have
1. Confedence when playing
2. don’t run fast
3. dont have endurance or stamina
How to I fix these things
BACK INFO:
Played basketball for 11 years
Curently a Girl Sophmore in High school
Have a great shooting percentage(but not in a game)
Have Pattella Tendenitous(jumpers Knee) in my left knee

PLEASE I NEED ADVICE!!!!!!!!
Easy Ten Points!!!
THANKS!!!!!!–!!!!!!!!—!!!!!!!!!

Ok i have some ideas
1. One, set an exercise plan and follow that strictly, dont get lazy
7 days a week, u need to follow that. For example, for arms, do 75 pussh ups a day. Then after u can do that well, bump up to like 85, then 100.
try to do sets of 15, then 20, and so on.
2. For speed and endurance, do lots of sit ups. Losing belly fat will increase your speed, and then also running. Try to run at least one mile a day. Then increase that to 2 then 3 miles a day after you get used to that,.
Also, if u have access to a court, run suicides. These will increase your stamilna a lot. The key is top push yourself. Even if youare a little tired, ignore that and keep going until u cant. Push ur self, but dont exert yourself
3. Lastly, a strict diet. Dont eat ice cream, brownies, cookies or anythng with lots of sugar, butter, cream etc. These will all add unnessary body weight that is fairly easy to avoid. Doesn’t mean you cant eat any sweet things, it just means, decrease these servings to the very minimum. MINIMUM. Try eating fruits, pasta, and meat, other than ribs, steak, and pork. Chicken and turkey are good..

It wont come instantly but you have the entire summer. 4 motnhs will do the trick

Hope that helps.

P.S. The key is to be honest to yourself. Dont eat things you can live without. It may be hard at first, but alaways remeber about making your varsity team. Also, you can’t giv up your exercise plan. That is going to help a lot if you do it consistently. Remember, PUSH YOURSELF. because in varsity teams, the coach isn’t going to have sof feeelings for you. You have 4 long mithns. Take advantage of it.

The sooner you potty train your puppy the better. You want to establish good habits from the start. And, a dog who has never gone potty in the house will never consider the house a place *to* go potty. I’ve always found the puppies we purchased from actual working farms (NOT puppy farms) were the easiest to house-train. They only ever wanted to go potty on grass or hay – as they had only ever gone in the barn or outside. They frequently wouldn’t even go potty in a parking lot – we’d need to find grassy areas on the way home for them to go potty.

Here are some house training tips that will help – as long as you follow them consistently:

1. Closely supervise your pup while potty training. Do not let your puppy out of your sight while he is loose in your house! Watch him as though you were babysitting a very young child who could/would get in trouble if you didn’t watch them. A puppy is the same as a toddler in this respect. Keep your puppy in a crate to keep him out of trouble when you can’t attentively watch him.

If you see your puppy starting to sniff around, take him outside (or to the selected potty area) right away. If you’d like the potty area to be outside – try to make the area outside from the start; and if for any reason you can’t make the area outside from the start at least make the area near the door. This way when you are ready to house train to outside you can bring your pup outside whenever you see him beginning to sniff around near the door. *When you can’t supervise your un-trained dog, keep him in a crate*. Be sure you have the proper size crate too. Your pup should be able to stand up and turn around – but no larger. If you bring your pup with you to purchase the crate, the store personnel should be able to help you select the correct size. Some people have tied their dog’s leash to their waist while potty training – but you still need to *pay attention*. (I once told my daughter that her puppy potty training problem was that she wasn’t paying enough attention. She phoned one day to tell me that I must be right – her puppy had two accidents that day – both on her foot!)

2. If you find your puppy going potty in the wrong place interrupt him by saying “NO!” in a sharp tone of voice- then immediately take him to the proper place to finish. (If you don’t catch him – you aren’t watching closely enough.) It could help to put the paper towel you clean the mess with where you want him to potty- so that he will have the scent there. Be sure to *thoroughly* clean and de-odorize the area where he pottied in the house. Use special products made for this purpose – or he will go there again. In fact, watch him *extra closely* and/or take him to his potty place when he starts sniffing around those areas.

3. Pick a potty place that is free of distractions. No playing of any kind until the pup has gone potty. Do NOT turn potty time into play time until after he goes potty. When he does go potty give him a treat and then PLAY with him. Reward him lavishly and immediately!

4. Set a schedule. Keeping a routine will help to establish good habits. Control when your puppy eats and drinks. Feed your puppy 3 times a day when you first bring him home (or as your breeder recommends). You can decrease this to one or two times a day as he gets older. Be sure he always has fresh water to drink. Take your puppy to his potty area about once an hour – and always take him to his potty area within 10 minutes after he eats or drinks, wakes up, and after exercise or play. Permit absolutely no playing or distractions until he has ‘done his business’. Once he has gone potty you can begin to take him outside about once an hour for a very young puppy – and extend the time between ‘potty breaks’ as your pup gets older and firmly forms good house training habits. But be sure to *watch your pup carefully* whenever he isn’t either confined or in an ‘OK to potty’ area.

5. Reward your puppy as soon as he does go potty in the appropriate location. Give him a bit of a very tasty special treat. Tell him, “Yes! Good boy!” And play with him! Make the moment he goes potty the moment the fun and good stuff begin. Dogs love good stuff; and they will usually do whatever they need to do to get it. So all you really need to do is to make sure your dog knows what you expect of him – what it takes to get the ‘good stuff’.

This is a lot of work at first until the habits are formed. But really, it is the most effective– and sometimes the only- way that it can be done. Be sure to take your puppy outside as much as possible to increase his opportunity to eliminate outdoors. If he doesn’t go outside do NOT take your eyes off him when you bring him in. Most importantly: lavishly praise, reward, and play with him when he does go outside. With the use of patience, persistence, consistence, and lavish reward – you will both succeed!

I train BJJ at 7:30pm. Get home around 9:00pm. Is it okay to just drink a protein shake after bjj training and then go to bed? Or should I be eating a meal and a shake? Maybe just a meal?

Also, I usually eat an hour before training so at like 6-630pm is when I had my last meal if anyones wondering, "When was your last meal?" Thanx!

Protein is fine, if you want to do a meal keep it low on carbs..

Your body is in a anabolic state right after a workout (like minutes according to some scientists, longer according to others) and when you sleep.

Protein after a workout or before bed is fine, just make sure you aren’t overdoing it. You want a low carb protein shake, and you want to keep it at about 20 to 25 grams at a time (your body can’t absorb more than that).

Also make sure you aren’t taking in too much protein (one grand for every Kilogram you are is fine… 2.2 pounds = 1Kg.)

I try to keep my last MEAL around 4 hours prior to bed. But I will take in protein before bed.
