http://www.HockeyTrainingPro.com Even if your knees are shot you can still get into great shape. Don't EVER give yourself a reason to fail. I think of it like the 'dark side' in Star Wars. No one is immune -- it is not easy to do the right thing. It is not supposed to be easy. If it were, we would all be rock stars! Even Luke Skywalker had to battle the dark side -- LUKE SKYWALKER for goodness sake! Pro athletes struggle with it -- I struggle with it and I know you do to. Here's a secret - - when I come home from a 12-hour day at the gym on Wednesdays, pretty much the LAST thing I want to do is go run hill sprints and do push ups. I really don't want to do it. I actually want to sit on the front porch with a cold beer. BUT... drinking beer will make me fatter than I want to be and it certainly will not help me conquer the Tough Mudder that Paul and I are doing at the end of September -- so I make the right decision and go run those hills -- 12 hills and 36 push ups. After the fact I feel AWESOME!!! When I was talking to a goalie coach about his off-ice training and he was feeling desperate because he could no longer do his regular running workout now that his knees were shot -- he thought it was hopeless. Instead of looking at what he couldn't do (the dark side) we looked at all the options he had at his disposal -- slideboard, stairmaster, bike, dumbbells, etc. I put together this off-ice training workout for him -- you can check it out too. This guy is a former pro player and serious about his training and eve he had almost convinced himself that he was screwed. HERE'S THE WORKOUT YOU CAN DO EVEN IF YOUR KNEES ARE SHOT!
