Active Alphas
An Alpha has no fear of cardio. Cardio is great for our bodies and metabolism. But, you can burn a lot of calories each day by staying active. We will list our favorite activities on this page to give you ideas to stay off the couch and on the move. Feel free to comment below with your favorite PG rated activities. While we certainly seek discomfort so our bodies improve in function and form, we are always looking for more ways to have fun while being Alpha. Get up and move.
Resistance Training
Resistance training is an essential part of Alpha Living. This is where we grow muscles. We will provide workouts for the beginner and intermediate lifter. Our workouts can be done at anytime of the day. Early birds like 5:00am. I prefer my late morning workout just before lunch. Evening is fine. Just do it!
Muscle mass is a major part of overall body composition. It is influenced by genetics, age, sex, activity level and diet. Strength training, like weight lifting and bodyweight exercises, promote muscle growth and increase muscle mass over time.
It is beneficial to have an adequate amount of lean skeletal muscle mass. That will improve physical performance, metabolism, posture, joints and prevents injuries. Muscle mass also helps the body maintain a healthy weight. You are less likely to suffer from obesity, diabetes and age-related muscle loss.

We enjoy roller Skating on the weekends at our local Skating Rink. It is great exercise for the entire family. We develop skills and strength and get exercise while having fun.
If you are lucky enough to have a Roller Hockey Club near you, check it out. We play other sports so we are just casual skaters. But, I can tell you. The kids that play roller hockey are all very fit. Its a great sport for fitness and there are teams for every age.
There are 24 clubs in the United States. Many clubs are in large metropolitan areas like Miami, FL or Lubbock, TX. Bedford, PA is a small town of only 10,000 people. Our Neighboring Club is in Cumberland, MD. The Cumberland Raiders are our sister team and they play in the rink, Moon Glo. Amazingly, the Bedford Bandits Club in Bedford, PA is the largest club in the country and one of the newest. Under Coach Matt’s leadership the Bedford Bandits offer an opportunity to be a National Champion. Those who work hard enough can even travel to different countries and meet new people while playing the sport that they love on Team USA. These opportunities and the team’s successes have attracted talented athletes to the club of all ages.
