TRX Game Day Challenge!

I have been using the TRX system for the past 2 years now. This is one of my favorite workouts on the planet. There are literally thousands of workouts you can do with these bands and they always give me an AMAZING workout. Just thought I would share this "TRX Game Day Challenge" with you all. And yes now that summer is almost over I will have more time to work on my blog...I apologize for not posting as often as I used to but that will all be changing soon!

I am going to post a ton of information that pertains to Health and Nutrition as this is becoming more and more a part of my life both personally and professionally. My latest studies have been focused around the concept of preventing disease with whole foods or as some like to call it "Kitchen Chemotherapy."

For today we will focus on the physical aspect of over all health and fitness with The TRX system and sometime by the end of this week I will do a post on this new "whole foods" research.

If you want to have a body that no one else out there has you HAVE to do things that no one else is willing to do! Example Below...

AIMS Workshop Participants Get Hands-on Sports Medicine Experience

The AIMS Summer Workshop, offered to high school students through SLU's Practical Anatomy Workshop took place during the last week of June.

The AIMS Summer Workshop began in 1993 as an overview of anatomy and introduction to careers in the health care field. Graduates of this program are already at work in the field of medicine. Physicians and professionals from various medical specialties provide programs in their areas of expertise through 3-D presentations, hands-on laboratory experiences, case studies and group discussions, and patient interaction. All students have an opportunity to observe a live surgery during the AIMS Workshop.

The Athletic Training faculty and the Athletics staff gave the students hands-on Sports Medicine experience at Chaifetz Arena.
