It is the wrap up. For a fighter this is the week that everything slows down, and you just simply wait. Wait for the last few pounds to come off the body to make weight. Wait for the show date, and the call to walk out to the cage. Wait for your chance to get 15 minutes to show the world how hard you trained. The reason I want fans to take 10 weeks and train as hard as they can is so they can feel a small connection to the fighters. Especially the new ones who are not making the big pay days, try it in your fitness regime. To make sure I got the most of it, I enlisted the help of a professional. I cant tell you how hard I pushed over these last weeks simply from being in the right gym at Elite Performance in Winnipeg. It was fun having Jeff Fisher ensure my training was spot on and that my training went right along-side top level athletes in all sports. I was in an environment of excellence and because of that, got the best results Ive seen physically in 10 weeks. I also took on yoga, more specifically Joga. Its a new concept from Jana Webb . It encourages athletes to stretch and flush lactic acid from the body and is an absolute game changer for the high intensity training world. The room at Yoga Public was filled with athletic minded people, each one looking to improve their sport performance. There was a purpose for every movement. This last week for athletes is a review time. We review how well the camp went, how ready the fighter is for this match. We discuss having done everything right and being absolutely ready. This type of positive self-talk is crucial to success. The wait till fight time has a lot of thinking time, just like preparing for the boardroom or exam at University. That thinking time needs to revolve around how great the prep went. So as this 10 weeks wraps up for me, I hope someone was inspired to try to train at a whole new level. To create that understanding of what it takes to be a fighter. That doesnt include that actual fight itself. I hate hearing the booing from the crowd. Its terrible. There is so much that goes into the prep of a fight, and when you add combat during training, there are injuries and missed weeks that add to the problem. As fans, its important to try the sport. Get out to your local Kickboxing gym, try some jujitsu, get a feel for what goes into being a pro athlete. Not only will you get fit, and be healthy, youll also appreciate the sport a lot more. It also leads to enjoying the match as a sporting event, not just a fist fight. Learn to eat better, train harder, do Joga, and have some fun with fitness. Its really what MMA for fans is all about, and a leading reason why UFC Gyms are popping up everywhere. Its also the reason I got involved in the creation of Nexersys. I want people healthy through their passion for MMA. If you want training tips, or to see me working with pro athletes feel free to stop on over to youtube.com/pefitness.
