Did you work out today?

Like both of you fellows, we have to be properly inspired to work out, whether it's the photo (nice photo, by the way) or maintaining a streak like Cal Ripken.

Another inspiration is to train for a specific sport, so that your improvement in fitness shows up in your game. A professional athlete who did just that is Dianne DeNecochea, a professional volleyball player who, like Dara Torres, conquered the big 4-0 and motherhood and made it to the quarter-finals of the 2008 Olympic trials. She will be interviewed Wednesday, August 13, at 6 p.m. PT, 9 p.m. ET: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/dryessis” to discuss volleyball, fitness, and her training with Dr. Yessis, who is professor emeritus at Cal State Fullerton and gives advice on sport-specific training at http://www.dryessis.com.

Dr. Yessis won't teach you how to throw, run, swing or catch, but he'll teach you how to do each of those things better and help you become the athlete you always wanted to be. Please listen, call-in with questions, and come to his site.
