Workouts Quotations

The funny thing is, I really feel it if I don't run. I start getting sluggish, and I feel like I need to do it. That's how I know that the workouts are working - I miss them if I don't have them.

Obviously it's more fun having my teammates there and having all that camaraderie, but individual workouts are not a loss.

I think the two most important parts of any athlete's workouts are his leg workouts and his core training.

To combat the monotony of gym workouts, I started playing soccer. I looked at workouts as training sessions. My soccer training includes squats, pushups, resistance-band work, and sprints. Ninety minutes of running became part of my love of the game rather than a chore.

One of my favorite workouts to do with my girlfriends is yoga. We are equally impatient with our yoga. We are those people who are sweating in the back, and we'll be in downward dog giggling and looking at each other. And I know what we're all thinking: What are we going to order for dinner afterward?

I do my workouts in the morning, and often I'll take someone from my team. The person I'm meeting with can pick the class, whether it's a spin or barre class, or going for a power walk. It's hard to run and talk - I haven't mastered that yet.

Early in my career, I had difficulty breathing during workouts and my performance on the ice suffered. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with EIB and received the proper treatment that I was able to reach my peak performance.

I think it's fun to get in a room and sweat with people. I'm happy to share my workouts with everyone.

I genuinely enjoy sweating out my frustrations and living a healthier life. My workouts are not all about vanity. They are about clarity for my mind and soul.

I would be shocked to see him fall past the fourth round. From the people I've talked to, I'm thinking there's a good chance he could be taken in the third round. A lot of that fourth- and fifth-round talk started after his combine work when some people still had some questions about him. But since then, he's held a lot of workouts for different teams and answered a lot of those questions. He's been moving up.

My husband and I own a CrossFit Gym. Crossfit is perfect for me because it's always competitive, all the workouts are in a class environment, and it's different every day. It's a constantly varied functional fitness workout done with intensity.

Pool workouts are great, but it's not running up and down the hardwood 94 feet.

My favorite workouts are the ones that don't feel like I'm working out! So, dance is a big one. Another is any kind of isolated moves, like ballet moves. Anything that works the glutes and legs - sign me up! And I like to blast the music. I have to get lost in the music. That helps.

I didn't want to do spring workouts when I could concentrate on school. I'm still going to work out a little bit.

I don't feel pain in my knee, it's OK. I don't have much power in my legs. Battling in the corner, I'm not so powerful like before. I must get more workouts in the gym. I don't have to rush it. I think one more game and I'll be good.

I'd like a nice easy race out of him. I don't need a taxing one. We wanted to settle him down between races this time. His last two workouts were phenomenal, and it's really exciting to watch him.

Last year we didn't play the way we should have played all the time. But with this new secondary it looks like the sky's the limit to me. New faces can bring togetherness, but it takes time. That's what these off-season workouts are for, so we can hang out together.

Since the end of last season, the whole team has really started to buy into the whole message of doing things the right way. I haven't had any off-the-field problems. I haven't had to check rooms at night. They've been doing conditioning workouts at 6 a.m. four days a week. You can tell they've been investing some time in the weight room. We are starting to look like a football team is supposed to.

Mike's already proven to be a leader for us. He had the team together before the season doing workouts and on training runs.

She's going to have to start working harder if she wants to get to her potential. It's hard to work that hard. She has to push herself in practice. We put her through grueling workouts today. They were hard on her ... but she hit all her times.

She's pretty much week-to-week. She's still able to throw and do workouts right now.

I hate the gym, so I try to diversify my workouts with swimming and basketball. Indoors, it's less boring than running. I do find that diet is key. I eat lots of lean protein, no soda, no fast food or fried foods, and a lot of water. But I love food and often cook.

I am throwing more combinations in my sparring and in my workouts - hitting the bag, things like that. My footing is changing a little bit, so my footing is getting a lot better, where I can let the combinations go fast and go rapidly, and a lot.

I can't remember the last time we took a break midseason like this. I'm hoping we can step up and improve where we've been. We've run tired early in the season, more so than what I would have expected. We've had some good workouts and we've lightened up a little bit. It's time for the kids to start picking it up.

Full-body workouts are great for someone who can only train a few times per week, as missing one day will be less detrimental.

I feel good about all of the workouts I've had. I've done well. Now it's a waiting game. I hear anywhere from the second to fourth round or the third through fifth round. I feel like I'll go in the third round, on the first day, but we'll see.

I get enough workouts outside of the games. It's more than the games right here in spring training. You can't take for granted what happens during the day. Hopefully, you get enough games. The last two or three games I've come in just catching. There are other guys that need to get work in. I know what my role is.

But it's more than just the 40. It was the individual workouts too, the positional drills. I feel like I was the best at those too.

I have a reputation of having a really bad race before a good one. I had some hard workouts before states and I was feeling the effects from it. I treat every race the same. If I blew up in a dual meet, same as at states, it's not a big deal. I would rather win a national title than a state title.

Her workouts were what really got my attention. She puts in so much hard work all the time. She never gives any back talk and she does whatever she is asked to do. She may get burned out by doing the same exercises all the time but she never shows it with her facial expressions. She definitely has the heart to be a real competitor.

I am extremely disappointed with this performance and the results showed a lack of commitment, discipline and responsibility on the mat by many of our wrestlers. We have two morning workouts a week specifically for conditioning and when kids don't bother to show up and then get gassed in matches and lose, it is all a reflection of their lack of being willing to do the work.

He was asked to come to some workouts and they liked him and offered him a scholarship.

When they first got down there they were trying to speed him along. I talked to him and he said they had some good workouts . . . I don't care how much you train or whatever you do, you can't simulate being on the field and playing baseball.

He seems to be doing all right. We're hoping by (today) he'll be able to do some light workouts and get some shooting in. It looks like he'll be on pace to do that. We'll be able to go pretty solid on Wednesday and Thursday with him.

Kyle has really been working hard in the workouts and he's been running with the seniors, which is good.

My workouts are coming along, but I'm not there. It's frustrating. I've got to keep plugging away.

My workouts continue to be positive and I feel that I'm getting closer to my goal of joining my teammates this season.

Nathan has combined dedication, strength, and athleticism to get to this level. He's a talented athlete who is very dedicated to making sure he's in the best possible shape. He lifts weights year-round and attends other workouts on his own.

I think the swim teams represent all our kids. They're really hard working. They put in a considerable number of hours, as all swimmers do, into early morning workouts in addition to practices and meets. It's a tough haul.

Josh had a phenomenal season. He never missed a practice. He came to get extra workouts in. He worked hard and he sought advice from the coaches to improve and he showed up to every meet ready to wrestle for the team.

I think whoever we get is going to be a good coach just because of this program and the reputation it has. We just stick together and keep going through our off-season workouts and just trust the people who are in charge.

Our art is well-rounded in all aspects of self defense. We do not change anything for tournaments. Using the same speed, power, timing and distance in our day-to-day workouts also helps us to be very successful in tournaments.

I was thrilled with both groups. I could not have asked for it to be much better than this. It is not like we rested this week. We had two workouts this week, so this is a good start, and we will be able to move forward from here.

I tell my clients that workouts on the road are about breaking even. Do not expect the workout of your lifetime when you travel, it's probably not a reality. Just try not to lose any ground on the good habits you've established at home.

It doesn't mean that just because we work somebody out that we have an issue. That is not something that anybody should assume. There are things called information gathering and we are allowed to use workouts of players who are not under contract to gather information about those players.

It goes from the very top all the way down when you're trying to restore things, and the football coach isn't at the very top. I've been to a lot of Memorial's workouts and their games the past couple of years, and I thought (former coach) Dean Colbert did a good job while coping with an overwhelming task.

I think in her mind if she could get away with being the top 100-meter runner, that would be her desire. Workouts have never really been her forte. It's not really where she's at.

We'll look to bounce back. I'm frustrated but we don't want to get too discouraged. We've had good workouts and practices, but our lack of defense is perplexing.

We've done an hour-and 15-minute workouts and not said a word to each other.

We have workouts for babies aged 3 months to 5 years.

I was really active as much as possible while I was allowing my bone to heal. I was in the Cooley weight room, and rode the bike and did the treadmill and did lower-body workouts every day. Right now, my ball-handling is back and it (the hand) feels really strong.

Unlike other heart rate monitors , the Power Glove can easily be slipped on and worn during workouts or daily activities because it does not require a chest strap. This is a great option any time because it is discreet and simple -- and the Power Glove remembers and displays data between uses.

We have taken some huge steps since last season. Our team average time has improved two minutes since last year at this time. We have been focusing more on miles rather than speed so far this season. I am anxious to see what happens when we add speed to our workouts. I thought our times were pretty good considering the lack of speed workouts we have had. We still have some work to do but I like what I see so far. This is a very experienced team and they know what it takes.

We put him through a couple extensive workouts and he handle it very well. This is the first time he's kicked two days in a row. We feel good about him. We feel he'll be OK for Monday night.

We had five days of great workouts down there, which was great for the team and I think it's going to help us later in the season.

We ran okay, but our workouts for the state meet took their toll. We ran decent times, but didn't get the places we wanted.

When I'm touring, I have to think of workouts that don't require a gym.

We do different workouts depending on what day it is. If we have a game the next day, we won't lift weights so we won't be sore or stiff on a game day.

We've been working really hard, ... The workouts have been tough, the miles have been up there, and I think that pays off.

This summer I just practiced real hard. I was real dedicated. I don't think I missed two or three workouts this whole summer.

With the workouts we had, ... I was a little surprised we played as well as we did.

Workouts went good. The intensity was good. Of course, it's the end result. We have to wait and see how we perform out in competition, see how we perform at the end of the season when it matters the most.

What makes Dave so strong is his understanding of training and willingness to pay the price He has given up the other sports and focuses on running now. It's a little too early to talk about what he's destined to do. Later on this season we'll have a better idea. He's doing some advanced workouts and we will have to see how his body reacts.

Being through workouts together, the Pre-Draft Camp, playing against and with each other for the last several years, ... the relationships are something that are defintely strong with this class.

Twice a week I'll run fast quality workouts either on the track or road.

At our first team meeting, he handed out binders that detailed daily workouts from the fall to the end of the season. He emphasized that this team would not be a joke and that we'd better be here to wrestle, and if not, he would find someone else to. His organization and motivation has really helped us.

I've been doing a lot more miles doing workouts twice a week.

The players and coaches are looking forward to this weekend's competition. Each player has been working hard this spring during individual workouts and has shown improvement. Team practices started this past Monday, and it was exciting to get all of the players together and practice in a team setting.

There is still some guarded optimism. We'll see them in a couple of more workouts and hopefully some games, but we have to see how they come out of it, and they do, too.

We've had some great pre-season workouts and hopefully it carries over when the dual meets begin.

We've had tremendous focus during our workouts. Bennie has done a good job of getting us there. The workouts have been vigorous, twice a day, everyday. If we're not ready now, we won't be ready.

To be honest with you, I don't think it's that big a deal, ... You have to adjust your workouts and preparation in between starts. But I don't have a problem with it.

Adam's workouts and routines are kind of legendary. This is probably one of the best trained athletes on the league. He's extremely serious about football. We never talked any business until he felt comfortable about seeing how he would fit in with us.

After I was able to complete workouts and run the conditioning workouts over and over again, I knew this was going to happen, ... I'm not going to jump into something without being absolutely 100 percent positive. And I am.

I wanted to get a little jump on things. It's not like I am here a week early or anything, but it's a few days to get the soreness and all of that stuff out before the actual workouts start.

We had some voluntary workouts because of the shortened school day and some guys went out too hard and tried to do too much to get ready for the meet.

Depending how they take workouts some kids have a range and some less than others. Her range is more in the one mile than to the cross-country.

A lot of freshmen don't get to play. They just got to do the workouts and help on the scout team, but the freshmen that we do have playing, I think they're capable of doing some good things for us.

They're young and they're just enjoying the sport. They're just having fun with it and paying attention so I think more eighth graders will come out for the team. Pus, football players who see what great shape their teammates are in during fall workouts will want to come out too.

Practices are going well - they are working hard. We have got in some good workouts and made some gains but we are also getting a little beat up with the shin splints because of the hard surface and tight corners.

During the past 15 days, my knee has been feeling great, ... I was out on the track doing sprints, agility movements, throwing and exercises to help increase my stamina. Even with some fluid remaining, my knee has been handling the pressure and I've been able to work through it. My workouts continue to be positive and I feel that I'm getting closer to my goal of joining my teammates this season.

You seem to hear a different level of confidence they have. I'm not shocked at all, because I really think both of them are in a position, when I hear some of the workouts they've done, to do some scary things.

In my mind, we were preparing not to have him since workouts in the spring. If we did have him, it would have been a bonus.

I'm definitely an outdoorsy guy. I like hiking, outdoor workouts with body weight. But when it comes to getting it done, I can just get in the gym and pound it out.

I want to take the benefits of what I'm doing now, and offer it to as many people as can hear it. You don't have to submit to having an unhealthy life. You can fight obesity by making your workouts fun to do. Get your body outside on skates. For all those people who have seen New Year's resolutions fall by the wayside, this is an alternative.

All players go through lulls and the real testament is what you do about it. Carly asked for extra workouts and has done more in the last two weeks than anyone.

The nice thing about having those three together is that they push each other very hard. One day one of them will be on, and the next day a different guy will be on. Even in the middle of workouts they switch back and forth and kind of key off of each other.

It's been pretty slow. I haven't had any personal workouts with teams since the combine. Just been hanging around Bowling Green kind of waiting around for those - trying to workout and stay in shape.

The key to all of this will be the communication with the pitching coaches of the teams involved. We want the coaches to know our plans so they can send their pitchers to us with an understanding of how we plan to schedule workouts and assignments. This will be a coordinated effort with a great deal of communication before and during the actual competition.

It's very important to start and stay with the program until the designated testing period. Anyone can find a reason to skip workouts. The key is to make these workouts part of your daily routine. You'll be amazed at the payoff.

It took me off guard. I know I played well, but I guess they wanted more bulk. But it was the turning point of my summer. It got me to turn my workouts up a notch.

It went very well for the team. It was almost a lift, to start off with three wins gives us a big push going into our continuing workouts that we have and into our preseason.

In 2003, the South African adopted a regimen of twice-daily workouts to improve his fitness. His game improved significantly ... until he hurt his right wrist walloping a boxing heavy bag. 'I was thinking of taking out a little frustration on the punching bag, but I'm not a pro,' he said.

I like to be very consistent with workouts and getting a good amount of sleep. I've really been enjoying Pilates lately. It's actually really tough to fit in my schedule, but if I can get in a workout three times a week while we're shooting, that feels right. Any more seems to deplete my energy.

I just kind of backed off it a little bit. They were great workouts for me, but I think there's a point in time where you can overwork something.

I just made the goal to step up. My goal was to fill the spot that Brice Murphy left. Another big part was because of coach and the other guys on the team. Coach was pushing everyone to get in the weight room, get to open gyms and to shooting workouts in the morning.

I just think (it was) my rehabilitation process, ... I just kept getting better - I kept getting stronger. Workouts improved. Just every day the progress that I made just continued to get better and better, and all of a sudden I came to the point where ... they tell me I can play, I feel like I can play, shoot I know I can play, so lets just play.

I heard a lot of different things. But I really think it will come down to the workouts and how well I perform during the workouts. And me going against some of the guys that play my position.

I haven't even done all my speed workouts yet. There's no pressure here. The point is to run good and get some experience.
