Summer Training

So now that the curling season is winding down, I'm about to fire up my summer training routine.

And that's not just going back and forth to the fridge for beer.

I was wondering what sort of work-out or training routines that the dedicated (and some-what competitive) curlers have out there. I'm not a complete slug, and I do know my way around the gym, even though my workout regiment and diet went to complete crap over the last year or so.

I'm lucky too in that I'll have access to ice until at least the end of May as well, but I intend to focus on the off-ice stuff.

So what sort of training do you do? Any specific work-out routines that you found that works well for curlers? I'm serious and I'm looking for ideas... so jokes aside, any ideas could help.

I walk up to a little white ball and I hit it, then I walk up to it and hit it again.

Highly recommend the Fit To Curl book by John Morris and Dean Gemmell. They go into a lot of curling specific workouts.

Yup, but it's out of print right now, and there isn't an electronic version either (I'm a sucker for e-books... easier considering the travel I do).

Too bad this is out of print, because really, it's all in there.

The following is perfect for curlers as well:
http://www.amazon.ca/Warrior-Cardio...g/dp/0062074288

The author used to train a lot of the top UFC guys but his "system" transitions really well into curling. It is based on:

1. warming up before exercising
2. "pre-hab" to prevent injuries (he pays a lot of attention to hip flexors and knees)
3. cardio development based on interval training (working really hard for short periods of time then recovering) as opposed to running long distances (not good for your joints which curling already strains).
4. building strength, but not necessarily "bulking up", which does not help you in curling in and of itself
5. tons of core strength
6. covers mental toughness and diet as well.

Worth a read!

Here's what this quasi-competitive almost-60-year-old does:

Off-season (April-September):
*40 minutes of cardio 3 times a week (stairmaster, cross-trainer, UBE)
*Weight training (upper body, quads, hams, core)
**6 weeks of strength training (low reps, higher weight)
**6 weeks of endurance training (high reps, lower weight)
**6 weeks of strength training
**back to maintenance training (medium reps, medium weight)

In-season (October-March)
*40 minutes of cardio 2 times a week
*Maintenance weight training

A couple of things you will discover unless you are in your 20s: (1) you will curl better with more strength; (2) you will have fewer injuries throughout the season. It is possible to increase strength by an additional 50-80% from your pre-training level, as measured by the weights you can lift. No joke.

I'm sold since I've started this routine. I curl 90+ games a year, front- and back-end, and in the pre-fitness days I would have nagging injuries (various types of painful tendonitis), and loss of strength by the end of the season. In the post-fitness days, I can get through a season and not get sloppy at the end of the year, and do not suffer nearly as many nagging injuries. Try it, you'll like the results! At any age.

Cheers.
