The biggest mistake youth athletes make
Youth athletes training with Eiden's Fitness & Sports Performance Training Hi there, The biggest mistake youth athletes make? They play year-round.... But never build a foundation for proper movement and strength. Having worked with and trained countless numbers of athletes over the years I know the challenges young athletes in Las Vegas face. They play year-round, they are on a club team, a school team, traveling to showcase events and tournaments and then when you factor i

A couple of healthy dinner recipes for you
A question I get asked a lot by clients for help with is not just what are the right foods to eat but what are some healthy meal options and recipes? I will never claim to be a great cook, but I can definitely cook for myself and know some good, healthy recipes that I have used over the years that I really like.

What is the right age for my child/young athlete to start training?
A question I often get asked by parents is "when is the right age for my kid or young athlete to start training?". The answer is that there is no right age. Every kid is different. I look for 3 things when working with a young athlete and ask 3 questions. One, is that kid mature enough to be able to train? Two, is that kid athletic enough to train? Three, does this kid really want to do this or is it just the parents that want them to do this? I have had kids at just 7 years

My most proud client success story!
I am proud of all my clients I have trained over the nearly 25 years I have been a trainer and coach as well as all my current clients (general fitness clients as well as athletes).

John didn't have a big fitness background. He wanted to lose some weight, build some muscle, gain strength and get i

The secret to 6 pack abs
In the nearly 25 years I have been in the personal training and fitness industry one of the things that I have always been asked the most about is the abs and how to achieve that washboard, 6 pack look. "How do I get a 6 pack?" "I want to work and focus on my abs." "Is there a certain exercise we can do to get rid of this (pointing to the bodyfat in their midsection?)" "Can we work more on my lower abs?" "How can I tone my abs?" "Can we target my fat here in my

Why exercise and exercise equipment injuries are #1 cause of injury and how to prevent.
According to the National Safety Council (NSC) in 2017 exercise and exercise equipment injuries were the number one cause of injuries of any type of physical activity and by a wide margin. There were 526,350 exercise and exercise equipment injuries. That was much higher than other types of physical activity that would be looked at as being more susceptible to injury such as football, soccer, hockey and recreational types of physical activity. I would feel confident saying th
