Strength Training

I am not a certified coach nor do I purport to be an expert on training, but I do know that strength training is a key to success for any multi sport training program. I have been competing in triathlon and multi-sport for about 6 years and this is the first year that I have incorporated strength training into my regular training program. Thanks to my coaches at Endorphin Fitness (http://www.endorphinfitness.com/), I now have some guidance on strength training and it is really making a difference. After just 2 weeks of adding strength sessions twice per week, I am noticing a huge difference in how I feel while swimming, biking and running. I also have more energy in general and feel fitter overall. The beauty of it is that I have not even added any weight to my strength training yet and there are some very simple exercises that you can do without weights in about 45 minutes to improve your overall strength (crunches, reverse crunches, superman extensions, squats, lunges, and push ups). I used to be the guy that skipped the strength training. Now, I am the guy that embraces it as a critical part of my training!!!
