As a sports trainer I strive to look into all aspects of fitness and therefore, my study never stops. In fact, it has only increased with time. The more I am studying the more I am intrigued by the way we train. There is so much more to learn beyond gym rooms. However, we are stuck in load 😦 

My below mentioned articles are a testimonial to why we should not be stubborn or head bent on one form of training? Because it is only one part of sports fitness. Pick up any of the below mentioned article of your subject choice and let me know if you find anything wrong. Learning in unending….I would like to learn from anybody who wishes to challenge or raise objection to anything that I have said in my articles. Just so you know…these are not my thoughts. I don’t pen down anything unless tested in the real world and therefore, I would have references for anything I have said or claimed in my articles. And yet…I learn something new from my trainees every time I take up a new assignment.  

Covered areas: Speed, balance, muscle strength, movement, biomechanics, CNS (connection between the muscles) training , mind training, flexibility & its importance among other subjects.
