Just wanted to check in from Arizona again. I've been out here this week working out with a few guys including Brian Dawkins, LJ Smith, Jason Avant, Hank Baskett and Lorenzo Booker.
We have been getting after it from sunup to sundown. We start at Fischer Sports, a place I have been working out at most of the offseason. Brett Fischer – an Eagles fan from Bucks County - is a physical therapist, certified athletic trainer and strength and conditioning specialist. He has helped me through what he calls functional training. We mimic the motions that we use on the football field. For me it might be an emphasis on using my abdominals, hips and lower body to create torque when I throw the ball. For some of the other guys it might be trying to get explosion out of their cuts.
A few of us are coming off injury and that is Brett's specialty. We get great care from our trainers in Philadelphia but Brett has some different methods for rehabilitation and I know that my body has reacted well to it. His staff has also set us up with nutritional counseling providing organic meals and snacks for the week.
Like most trainers today, Brett believes in the many benefits of core strength. In fact, he developed the AB Dolly and some people recognize him from the infomercials. We've been using the AB Dolly all week in many of our core exercises. If you want one check out this site - http://fischer-sports.com/ABdolly.html
I'll check back later this week and let you know more about our workouts.
