Theatre sports is the best improv training period.
We need a more strategic, coordinated, statewide plan that identifies high-demand jobs or industries with a projected under-supply and offer training to get these Oregonians to work.
I don’t criticize weight training – as long as it is not a substitute for aerobic training.
‘Immortals’ was very much a martial arts based training program – a lot of body weight stuff, very little in the way of actually lifting heavy weights, and a very, very low calorie diet.
Lifting weights is obviously important, because you want to be strong and fast and all of that, but it’s not one of those things you gotta go and try to bench as much as you can every day. A bench press isn’t going to help you throw a 15-yard out or a deep comeback. It’s not about that. It’s about training right.
My training has been going really well these past few days and my goal is to keep it up for the next few weeks and hopefully earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic team.
I’m more about mind over muscle. My mindset needs to be the fittest, because it drags my body through whatever needs to be done. A lot of people neglect training their mind and their self-belief, but I believe that’s crucial.
I started training judo when I was 5 years old. I didn’t know much. My mom just took me and my brother to do some judo because we were very energetic. We did that for a couple of years. I don’t know why we stopped, but I came back to try other forms of martial arts like kung fu and karate when I was 12 and never stopped.
Life is the only art that we are required to practice without preparation, and without being allowed the preliminary trials, the failures and botches, that are essential for training.
We should be robustly assisting the Free Syrian Army with equipment and also with training.
Being in the special forces has really broken a lot of the limitations I thought I had. Thoughts like ‘We’ve done this much, so we should take a break now’ were ones that I had to ignore and overcome in my training. They taught me how to keep going, no matter how difficult a situation can get.
I’ve decided to make my main priority for the next two years not playing the violin, but training for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
Almost all our suffering is the product of our thoughts. We spend nearly every moment of our lives lost in thought, and hostage to the character of those thoughts. You can break this spell, but it takes training just like it takes training to defend yourself against a physical assault.
I’m a very goal-oriented person, so I look at the specific demands of a certain race and tailor my training towards that.
The truth is, I’ve been on a team my whole life. I’m the youngest of 7, so I’ve been training to be an athlete my whole life.
You just go out there, you’ve got to keep training, keeping training as hard as you can and keep winning fights. The only thing that’s real is the fight. Everything else is fake.
The training camps are tough, going through that.
I think of myself as a jungle musician because of my lack of formal training.
When I left drama school, there were dozens of rep theatres you could apply to where you got a good training.
We find that the Romans owed the conquest of the world to no other cause than continual military training, exact observance of discipline in their camps, and unwearied cultivation of the other arts of war.
When I start training, I get very serious and focused about it. I probably train 4-5 days a week, and I eat probably eat 5-8 small meals a day to keep my metabolism going.
I come from a small village and have had no formal training in music or any classes from the masters of Indian classical music.
In basic training we had been told to watch out for Japanese spies.
Running taught me valuable lessons. In cross-country competition, training counted more than intrinsic ability, and I could compensate for a lack of natural aptitude with diligence and discipline. I applied this in everything I did.
I exercise about 40 minutes a day, and I’ll run one day and do circuit training the next day. I live in an area where there are brilliant hills and mountains, so I get a good hill run with my dog. At home, I’ll do the circuit training with old weights, along with pull-ups in the trees and that sort of stuff.
My biggest weakness as a endurance athlete has been in not drinking enough water after training, thereby racing sometimes while dehydrated.
Everything in moderation. I keep a healthy body, a healthy look. It’s important not to be obsessive about anything – fitness, training, eating – because then you end up focusing on only that. And you can’t obsess about anything when you’re on the road.
The first time I walked into the Olympic athlete village seeing the Visa ATM machine with my picture on it and the Chinese characters saying ‘Destiny.’ For some reason, it just boosted my confidence and it was before I had even worked out or had my first training or competed.
Top European clubs are always progressing with what they can do off the field. Training is getting more scientific, and we are constantly getting more educated on nutrition.
A lifetime of training for just ten seconds.
For the novice runner, I’d say to give yourself at least 2 months of consistently running several times a week at a conversational pace before deciding whether you want to stick with it. Consistency is the most important aspect of training at this point.
Do some work in the theater if you can. It is the best training you can get.
I don’t really consider myself to be an actor of any particular style. My aim with every role I undertake is to be truthful and honest in that particular portrayal. I don’t have a particular methodology from any one school of thought or training.
It seems that, every day, a new brand is popping up, and everyone has become an expert on supplements and training. Hey, there’s a lot of great brands and products out there, but there are also those just looking to grab a piece of the money pie.
The golden recipe for creating jobs is learning what kinds of people companies need and feeding them with training programmes.
Every December I take two or three weeks off. After an entire season of training and climbing, my body needs the break.
In high school, despite my involvement on four different sports teams, I threw my duties of being a jock out the window and spent my spare time in wrestling training or on the PS2.
I really would rather have gone to New York, since all my training had been in theater, but I didn’t have the guts to go there alone. I knew only one person in New York, and that was a man. What I needed was a woman. That’s the way Southern girls thought.
Supplements have always been a really big part of my training regimen.
There’s always another press conference, another training session and more videos to watch.
When you have a small, balanced squad, you can work better. First of all everyone is involved in every squad list, a meeting can be a good training session.
Together we are stronger, our voices louder, and the synergy of our actions more powerful. Together we can prevail on the Navy to put commonsense safeguards in place, like requiring its ships to avoid the most sensitive marine mammal habitats and to stop their training exercises during peak migrations.
I have to work hard and give my all in games and training sessions.
My training of cold-calling and everyone under the sun telling me no, and my keeping going, was a huge part of the first two years of Spanx.
I was released by Chelsea at 14 years old. I remember it, a Tuesday night. On the Wednesday, I was training with Fulham, five minutes from my house, and then on the Thursday, I was training with West Ham. After one session at both clubs, they both wanted me.
I have to devote my time and thoughts to training and playing.
I feel good, I feel good. Our training staff, they’re the best.
Self-Realization Fellowship seemed like training. It was the training ground for finding a sense of peace in myself. Because that’s my job. It’s no one else’s.
Circuit training is a great way to go. Keeping the reps high and the weight low, you’ll tone your muscles without bulking up.
What if you didn’t have education for sports? People with a natural inclination for sports, athletes without any kind of education, without any kind of training, they would just be couch athletes instead of the world class Olympians that we have.
I always liked show biz and got to make a few training films at Boeing.
I always make sure I work hard every day and give everything in the game, in training, and off the pitch, too.
At my age, you need to verify that everything is fine. I put a lot of pressure on my body, and I feel sometimes pain in my back and in my knees, so I have to be sure that I can keep on training hard before going on.
I hate the cursed Oriole fundamentals… I’ve been doing them since 1964. I do them in my sleep. I hate spring training.
My early education was in the public school system of Omaha, where, retrospectively, I realize that my high school training served me in good stead for the basic subjects of mathematics, English, foreign languages and history.
Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body.
