Listener Segment

"All aboard the bad advice train!"

1. Listener Robert D. writes:

"What you personally or other players that you know do/would recommend for workout regiments at the gym to become a more effective player. The biggest issues that I find with most "Fitness" programs is that they focus on the look rather than function, and I am looking for more of a functional regiment to help when I play and to get myself fit/healthier off the field."
