Book excerpt: Simple Structured Training: Basics will help the weekend athlete as well as the Olympic athlete to enhance their game through feedback and intelligent, well-rounded and effective training. The basis of the understanding you need to be a better athlete is to simply “feel” what your body is telling you and respond to it with more or less intensity. It's that simple. Is your heart beating too fast as you exercise? Slow down. Do your joints ache? Pay attention to form and back off on the weight. Is your bodyfat too high? Lower your intensity around food! The first step with SST: Basics is to “think.” Be conscientious of what your body is going through on a daily basis. What repetitive stresses do you perform? How often do you bend, lift, reach, stand? How long do you sit? How far do you drive? Now, how much time are you willing to invest in getting in shape? What are your ultimate goals? What equipment and facilities do you have to work with? What are you willing to learn? The average amount of time you should allot is 90 minutes, three times a week. That is less than 5 hours per week. It's a small tradeoff when meals alone consume up to or over 20 hours. Just like you'd choose a cookbook to learn how to create certain flavors, you use SST: Basics, to identify the aspects of your game or physique that are missing, the “ingredients” of your life. You try a little of this, a little of that, until the outcome suits your tastes and the results please the physicality. Have you learned the most basic movements and methods of staying in shape that require no additional equipment and can be performed virtually anywhere you go, from workspace to 3 week Hawaiian vacation? With SST: Basics, you'll learn that and more.
