At BFS, we have the simple and effective method of properly warming up for lifting. It's called the Dot Drill. Download your free Dot Drill Instructions here.

If nothing else, a warm-up needs to increase your body temperature, breathing rate and heart rate to the level of the activity you will be performing. This means you need to break a sweat, so static stretching is not what you need. 

Young bodies are growing and maturing and PE classes are where students can learn how much their bodies are capable of. In PE, and in school athletics, lessons in health and self-esteem are taught and BFS is a part of that.

BFS is committed to strength, conditioning and agility training for your students. Bringing in a Professional Development Day can change the trajectory of many PE teachers relationship with the weight room.

Congratulations to the Monte Vista Monarchs!

In a stunning 71 to 48 victory the Monte Vista Monarchs rode their strength and conditioning to a record 8 touchdowns. Pulling away in the second half the Monarchs sealed the championship with junior Jahon McClendon rushing for 380 yards!

After the victory, Coach Hamamoto was quick to text BFS president, John Rowbotham, the news: "We won today. Another championship for BFS". BFS is honored and humbled to have a great coach like Ron Hamamoto in our corner.

Coach Hamamoto is a shining example of a BFS Coach. His passion for the kids he teaches and influences is second to none. Coach has brought this passion - and The BFS Total Program - everywhere he has coached across Southern California. Now on the eve of a championship game, BFS takes a look back at the career of this dedicated coach and teacher!

BFS is proud to attend the Los Angeles Clippers game at the Staples Center on November 30th as part of the many fine organizations supporting young people.

This exciting event will bring anti-bullying organizations together and serve as a fundraiser for Speak Out and Silence Bullies.

With over 41 years in the business, BFS has established itself as the leader in athletic and physical fitness training. We've not only shared our message through our magazine, website, and social media outlets, but our clinicians have given nearly 20,000 hands-on total program clinics, coaching certifications, and character education seminars. Despite this exposure, there are a few unique aspects of BFS that many people may not know about. Here are five of them:

As winter training slowly come to an end, athletes eagerly await the start of a new season. Nowhere is this more apparent, than in the sport of Baseball. The boys of summer are once again ready to set new records, and, hopefully, replace any previous disappointments with cheers and thrills. This goal of achievement relies heavily on the fact that, the winter training program was fundamentally sound and efficient in correcting weaknesses and forging new strengths.

 The winter training program has to realize that, like most sports, Baseball is a "True Agility" sport. Every movement on the field is decision-based, which, in essence, is the definition of True Agility.

BFS has a sincere and ongoing commitment to Physical Education. This week we were in Boston for the 2017 SHAPE convention where hundreds of teachers and administrators braved blizzard conditions to learn more about helping their students be their best. 

At the Boston SHAPE 2017convention we ran into Bob McBride, IAHPERD Executive Director, who had a chance to chat about BFS's 10 year run attending and speaking at the Illinois State IAHPERD Convention. BFS attends many state level SHAPE conventions so look for us in your state soon!
