I truly believe dietitians are underrated. I would suggest seeing one, even if it might cost money. Some supermarkets even have an in-house dietitian who could help you determine how to alter your meal plans, and then give a quick "tour" of the store so that you know where to buy those items. I do not think there is any one good time to go the gym. If that ...

I've found success with two approaches: Yoga, whatever flavor or sequence you happen to like. What I did was go to classes several times a week for a month, then practice at home in the morning with intermittent ventures to group classes. Tom Kurz' morning stretch and warm-up series, recommended for combat sports and general health. You take a few minutes ...

Monday: gym workout (intense) and hockey practice Tuesday: hockey practice Wednesday: gym workout (intense) and hockey practice Thursday: gym workout (more sport specific than lifting weight) and hockey ...

I would suggest that a player can commence full training after a days break. i.e. Player should start full training on Tuesday, if he had a match on Sunday. However Monday can't be sedentary, the player at least needs to go for a light workout, that would facilitate the muscle recovery. I would ...
