Since we all are genetically built different, knowing these measurements during training phases will keep athletes updated on their changes. This will motivate the athlete to push themselves further, and will allow us to make adjustments in their workout so they can reach their desired goal.

Rest and recovery is just as important as training. Weekly we will take the athletes through a release flush out to repair the mini muscle tears within the muscle. This is normal when training at a high intensity level. This causes tight muscles, a burning sensation feeling, muscle fatigue, muscle soreness, or muscle pain.

Athletes can suffer from this and this is why it's important to do bodywork, stretching and hands-on massage. Michelle Rozzen. First off I want to thank you for being such a great mentor to my boys. They look up to you as a great trainer, division 1 athlete and leader.

I see they have gained confidence in their craft and I appreciate you working so hard with them one on one. From the first practice until now, we have all seen a dramatic change in agility, speed and confidence. Parents are always asking what we do for training, because they see the difference athleticism.

I personally appreciate how affordable you have made it for my family. I recommend you to all my friends and family. Continue to be a great leader, mentor and coach for the youth.

My friend recommended Taye and I am so glad she did. I booked a session for my 8 year old to work on his coordination and feel more confident with his athletic abilities so he can feel good about playing team sports.

My son has spent way too much time in front of his computer this last year and it was so refreshing to see him outside working hard for an hour!

Taye was so patient and sweet with him. I would highly recommend contacting him if you want your kids to get some one-on-one attention and good sports conditioning, or just to get them outside moving around.

My name is Laura Merritt and would like to share my experience with an exceptional trainer, Taye Johnson. One day I came into the gym for my two training sessions at which time met Taye Johnson. He listened to everything i shared regarding my injuries and when I was not able to do something it was improvised.

I found Taye creative in his workouts provided and have not been able to feel the muscle burn I so loved in many many years; without physical pain.

Taye is extremely attentive, personable, approachable and excellent motivator in getting the results i wanted in the least amount of pain. I can see Taye moving on to a profession in Physical Therapy as he has the knowledge and drive to succeed.

The Simp Replay Percussion Massager Gun Portable, powerful, and precise, the REPLAY is an instant highlight to your warmup and recovery. One of the best ways to heal quickly is through active recovery. For example, you just ran a mile. Instead of completely stopping running after your mile is complete and heading to the locker room or your car, you choose to jog a few minutes longer, at a much slower pace.

Active recovery has the following benefits:. Proper stretching is the key to maintain a happy and healthy body. We're not going to tell you to stretch for 30 minutes after every workout, but you have to make an effort to stretch for at least minutes.

Your body with thank you later. Stretching is an important recovery technique to implement both pre and post-workout. Through stretching, your body naturally lengthens it's muscles, improving circulation and blood flow and eliminating soreness and lessening chance of injury.

Plus, who doesn't like to show off their flexibility to their friends? The real reason why self-myofascial release and foam rolling hurts is because your body needs it.

Loosening your fascia allows your muscles to glide smoothly and correctly. When your fascia is tight and tough then your muscles have difficulty moving in the correct form and this results in injuries. By using foam rollers and percussion massagers, you can beat up that tough sticky fascia and get your body moving in the correct way.

For foam rollers we suggest the Brazyn there are two different levels of firmness so you can find the perfect fit for your body. If you're looking for an easy alternative to foam rolling, we suggest using either a Theragun or RecoveryVolt percussion massager. There are numerous benefits of using percussion massagers , but we love them most because they are easy to use and perfectly portable.

Promoting a healthy diet allows you to give your body the proper nutrition to keep on going. I like to keep it simple. Every meal needs to have:.

If you are looking to bulk up, then add some dairy to your diet, if you are looking to cut down, then reduce dairy intake.

Meal prepping can be a quick, cost-efficient way to make sure you're refueling properly with less time wasted. PURE Whey is derived from grass-fed and free-range cows that are never treated with bovine growth hormones.

One simple method is the Buteyko Control Pause CP test, created by a Ukrainian doctor named Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko to determine whether people are overbreathing. The natural delay between breaths is called the automatic pause.

Longer pauses are associated with slower, deeper breaths that oxygenate more effectively because more air is reaching the alveoli , as well as stabilization of blood levels of carbon dioxide, which is important for maintaining blood pH.

All of this plays significantly into exercise and recovery. Monitoring Resting Heart Rate RHR can be done simply by having the client take his pulse manually or by using a wrist device or heart rate monitor.

Heart rate variability HRV is a physiological phenomenon that reflects the time variation interval between successive heartbeats. When our parasympathetic nervous system PNS dominates, heart rate HR varies; it accelerates during inspiration and decelerates during expiration a healthy sign.

By contrast, when our sympathetic nervous system SNS dominates, HR shows little variability during breathing an unhealthy sign.

After we wake from sleep, the body should demonstrate good HRV, which is evidence of PNS dominance, recovery and good health. HRV is by no means new, as it has been used to predict myocardial infarction risk and other heart-health measures e.

Technology to measure and encourage recovery is under development. Disposable or reusable cortisol-monitoring patches also are on the way. And a new assortment of strain gauges embedded within the fabric of shirts is already able to detect breathing rate, depth, ventilatory power and rate of chest dimension change—though these products are currently too expensive for much of the fitness community.

In the future, when prices descend, their data may help everyday exercisers determine where they are on the stress-recovery continuum. In addition, current research at the cellular level may one day be applied to the field of exercise recovery.

For example, Japanese researcher and Nobel Prize winner Yoshinori Ohsumi has spent his career studying a concept of cellular recycling called autophagy, which explains how cellular components are degraded and recycled for use as fuel and building blocks.
