When you think of increasing your first step or overall speed, most people think of executing “fast movements”, such as sprinting. Now that’s partially true, but what if an athlete doesn’t fully extend and doesn’t know how to?

NYC personal trainers and sports performance coaches need to deal with the challenge of getting results. AND as we all know results isn’t just made in the weight room but in the kitchen too.

And you want to know what the commonality between successfully obtaining your goals, whether it be weight loss, athletic performance, gaining lean muscle mass is?

Being a NYC personal trainer I deal with a lot of weight-loss and “physique transformation” clients, inevitable the hot topic generally comes to protein powder. Even with my sports performance training athletes they ask the common question, “what type of protein should I take?”
NYC personal trainers and sports performance coaches use the “Box Jump” as a tool to help with power. The box can be a very useful tool that’ll force the athlete to get X height and generate a specific amount of force.
