I’m a bit tied up with holiday preparation stuff on top of the regular CP goings-on, so I thought I’d use today to throw out some recommended reading for the week:

Cardio Strength Training – I just got my copy of Robert dos Remedios’ new book in the mail.  I was honored to have contributed to it, and it’s an awesome resource with a ton of protocols and exercises that you can implement to make conditioning a lot more interesting.  For those of you looking to drop some fat in the new year, this is a must-have.

Only One Body – This is an excellent post from Mike Boyle that really helps to put things in perspective.  Quick read; check it out!

Medicine Ball Madness – This old newsletter talks a bit about how we attack medicine ball training with our baseball guys.  In 2010, I’ll be presenting on this concept in a lot more detail at my Perform Better appearances.
