On this final day of Men’s Health Month, thought I’d share this – learned from krissi’s experience with trainer(s) training wanna-be pros and professional athletes.

He was a jock … from the “no pain, no gain” era.  The greatest gifts of this were a solid physical foundation and that he learned to listen to his body.  But over years its become apparent there were many negative lessons learned.

Age changes things.  Foundational (youth) fitness changes things.

Oh, and BTW: this applies for subs and your Dommes.  Physiologically we’re largely alike.

Guess I knew it, both instinctively and from experience: Ladies’ fitness, gymnastics and tumbling, floor routines, Pilates, etc.; but krissi’s experience with trainers cemented it for me: routines that emphasize CORE-CORE-CORE are foundational, irreplaceable.

Example: an athlete who was in the gym with krissi – one of the wanna-be’s – is now in his 14th season as a defensive back in the NFL and has NEVER missed a season due to injury.  The training preserved (preserves) youthful flexibility and range of motion as a first principal with strength and endurance flowing from it.  This foundation is essential for subs wanting to provide the best service.

This is a reason I gave two thumbs up to Mizz Geena’s regimen for MLP.

Now, on to the subject of this post: VOmax and THR …

Revisiting childhood in his 40s and 50s, training with all those young athletes (even running windsprints with HSers … and in company with his question to the trainer about a possible testosterone deficit (which I’ve posted about separately)), led krissi to having his VOmax measured … essentially, a “stress test.”  Its tells you how your body is using oxygen and then sets target “zones” for heart rates during training.  His has 5 zones.

All of this is age dependent.

You may be surprised to learn that zone 2 is the optimum for consumption of fat and is where most all of us – of all ages – should be training, day-in, day-out.  Zone 3 – the next higher heart rate zone – offers little benefit at all.  Zones 4 and 5 are useful – for raising max capacity – but only periodically, again age and fitness dependent and for krissi – the one time athlete and gym rat – once a week.

krissi learned that for a couple decades he’d been over training – tearing down only slightly less than building.

It’s less useful to go off and do this right at the start of training.  Instead train for a few months – until you start to make progress and feel your body.  Then do it.

If you’re like krissi (and me) you’ll find that zone 2 – called a “conversational” pace – includes as much brisk walking as running, no running up hills at the start, and, as in all things, gradually building up.

And, oh, this applies when lifting too – managing rest periods.

Anyway, I bring this up because I’ve become a believer in the approach and it hadn’t been raised before this month.

Now, boys, I stand by to see your newly renovated svelte form quickly and effortlessly drop to the receptacle position (the one on your knees, not sitting in a straightback chair) and then gracefully adjust to every pussy presented to your mouths …  If you do well, we’ll place a child’s sink step between your legs, you’ll lay the penis on it, and we’ll give you the extra gift of standing on it as we wait our turn atop your face.
