Open House At Halton Hills Gymnastics

The new season is starting and today was the annual open house for Halton Hills where new interested gymnasts, trampolinists and tumblers came to try out the facility. Felicia and myself coached some new young athletes and are very impressed with what we saw. All of them have the potential to succeed and are very enthusiastic. Programs officially start on September the 10th and will be continuing on through the year. We are hoping to see a lot of new faces this year as well as all of the old ones who are eager to come back for another excitement-filled year. 

Here is the link to Halton Hills Gymnastics Club, it has all their info. Please check out their website and we hope to see you there.

Muscle Fiber Types During Exercise

Hello Everyone, i was doing some fishing around trying to find a way to creae more power in my muscles when I found this little review article on the basics of fiber types. I have a lot of people ask me about the differences between fiber types and if you can make more fast twitch fibers with training or visa versa. NO YOU CAN NOT!! if you are curious about the fiber types during training please read this article and it will answer a lot of questions. Thank you.

CALGARY RESULTS PART 1

Very good first day of competition. Mens senior synchro was up first this morning.  There were teams from Switzerland, South Africa, Denmark and all across Canada. 10 teams competed in total. Me and my partner, Philip Barbaro were ranked 2nd after the prelims compulsory and optional. Somewhat shaky routines but it was good enough to land us top 3 going into finals. The video will be posted  when I get home. Individual prelims tomorrow and finals for synchro. I will keep you all updated:)
