Proper Breathing During Exercise

Have you ever wonder what the proper breathing technique during exercise or running is or should be?  If so, you most likely are not alone.  Adam Kessler was recently asked this by one of his speed training athletes.  Not sure that his response was correct, Adam consulted Columbus, Ohio, chiropractic physician, Doug Maxeiner of Maxeiner Chiropractic & Muscle Therapy Clinic LLC.  Doug explains how to take a proper breath and discusses how doing so will improve your efficiency in utilizing the proper muscles, including the core.  To see how you could improve your breathing technique, click here:  Proper Breathing During Exercise

Getting Proper Nutrition While Traveling

You work hard training and eating properly preparing for your next big competition.   When you travel to a destination, it seems almost impossible to maintain that nutrition.  Speed trainer, Adam Kessler asked his assistant, Bryan Morosky- who is a triathlete- to inform you how you can eat properly while traveling.  No matter if you are traveling a couple hours away or jetting off to a major event, maintaining hydration is of utmost importance.  To see how this Columbus, Ohio athlete and trainer maintains hydration and proper nutrition when traveling, click here:  Getting Proper Nutrition While Traveling 

Our Speed Training Clients Getting Pub In Columbus

I wanted to fire off a quick post about some of our winter athletes that have been getting mentioned in the past few weeks.  These athletes did speed training with us at one point or another and getting some nice publicity in our Columbus Dispatch.

Congratulations and keep watch for these athletes:

• Alyssa Rice - Alyssa worked with us in sixth or seventh grade and has become one of the best basketball players in the state.  She is a junior for Reynoldsburg which is primed for another deep run in the state tourney.
• Jack Gibbs - Jack plays basketball for Westerville North and will be playing for Davidson next year in college.  Already, he was named basketball player of the week by the Dispatch.
• Emma Nikolai - Emma plays basketball for Watterson and worked with us last year as a junior.
• Jack Serbin - Jack is a senior at New Albany playing basketball.  He worked with us as a sophomore and I guess he has grown to be 6' 8".
• Tyler Kondracke and Drew Elliott - Both play basketball for Bexley and worked with us when we had our facility in Gahanna.  So far Bexley has been off to a great start.  Good luck to these guys and coach Dave Gustin.
• Alex Radkiewicz - Alex is the lone returning starter on an Olentangy Liberty team that went deep into the basketball state tournament last year. 

These athletes worked hard when they were with us and as you can see it is really starting to pay dividends in their sport.  Nice job and it will be fun to follow you this season.
