According to ET Online Prince Harry was out shooting basketbalsl at a sports festival in London on July 26. He attended the event, which kicked off a new program the royals are supporting called Coach Core, along with brother Prince William and his wife Catherine.

 

According to the Examiner the event was held at Bacon's College in southeast London. Its youth sports center is funded by their charity, theFoundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry. According to “The Daily Mail,” the Duchess showed that she was a dab hand with the ping-pong bat, whilePrince William tried soccer and Prince Harrytried shooting some hoops.

The examiner says that "the visit was to launch a new initiative, Coach Core, which funds and trains sports coaches. While the Duchess, whom “The Mirror” reported as wearing a high street Hobbs dress and Pied a Terre for the visit, did pretty well with the ping-pong, neither Prince William norPrince Harry managed to score." We are glad that they are training it right.

Carrie Underwood has one of the strongest voices in the music industry today. However, she is probably one of the strongest physically as well. She has gone from shy and innocent sort of chubby American Idol girl to a strong and toned woman. Carrie has transformed herself through a healthy vegan diet and regular fitness routine. According to Fit Sugar, "w hen touring, the singer travels with her own fridge stocked to the brim with healthy items; this helps her avoid dining out or relying on all that catered food. Her go-to breakfast when on the road? Fiber-rich oatmeal! She also brings a stash of healthy snacks."

Some of Carries Secrets:

Food Tracking

Cardio 6x a Week

Strength Training (including kettle bells)

Carrie has been quoted saying "There's just something sexy about feeling strong." And she is right!

Shawne Merriman of the Buffalo Bills in the NFL talks about recovering from his achilles injury, off season training and the way he likes to train. His master trainer talks about his work ethic and how he is willing to train hard. He talks about training specifically for his position and the theory behind why he trains like he does.

Shawne lifts heavier in his off season than he does during his season, and he definitely trains it right. This upper body strength training video is all about training, no flashy music, straight raw and real. It showcases his discipline and intensity.

I am now a fan of his trainer from  Fit Athletic in San Diego, CAas he is very specific and attentive. There aren't enough good quality trainers like this guy.

Brandon Jennings of the NBA knows how to train it right. You get a look into his life in his Under The Armour Series on Youtube. Today he released his first episode of his second season. Check it out:

If there is one person who is worth his pay check I would say that it is the NFL's Baltimore Ravens marquee running back, Ray Rice. Ray stands at 5"8 and averages around 212 pounds. He is a work horse by any athletic standards. According to recent reports ray signed a huge $40 million dollar contract with the Ravens with $17 in the first year and $25 after year two.

To be worth that much you need to make sure your off season training is not lacking. During the off season Ray was writing on Twitter about his 5:15 a.m. workouts, and he recently linked to a video that shows him running up and down bleachers with a weighted vest on. He's definitely in good shape and ready for his season.

During Ray's off season when he is not getting up at the break of dawn for his first workout of the day Ray can be found giving back to the city of Baltimore's Youth. You can check him out on his official website RayRice27 giving back to the city that has been his NFL home.
