In My Opinion...

by George Petrides, Jr., CSCS

In my opinion...

  • The core (muscles that include the abs, low back, hips, and glutes) is the most important area for all athletes to work.

  • Weight training absolutely will not decrease one's flexibility as long as a good stretching routine is included in the training regimen.

  • Weight training will decrease flexibility if a stretching routine is not included in one's training regimen.

  • Upper body weight training should be included in a baseball player's conditioning program.

  • The "new" AB ROLLER devices that are seen on T.V. do work very well for increasing ab strength but do absolutely nothing for decreasing body fat around the mid-section (as the commercials claim).

  • The "new" AB ROLLER devices aren't a new concept at all. It is just an advanced version of the ab wheels that have been on the market for over 30 years!

  • Women are way too concerned about gaining "mass" from a weight training program.

  • Overweight people need to focus on 3 things to lose weight: cardiovascular exercise, resistance training, and diet.

  • Overweight people who do not focus on those three things will remain overweight (Sorry!).

  • There is no "magic" herbal supplement that will cause "permanent" weight loss.
