Colorado Altitude Training

[jbeecham]

I'm watching a Suns special on Fox Sports and the training staff brought in a new piece of equipment called the Colorado Altitude Training (CAT) that basically is a chamber that you work out in that simulates higher altitudes. 20 minutes working out in there is like working out for an hour in the gym. So you get a workout 3x faster with less wear & tear on the muscles & joints. Pretty cool.

I think it is dumb that they don't do their training camp in Flagstaff anymore.

No kidding! 7K altitude can't hurt! I think they should bring it to Lake Tahoe, myself.

Remember who's call that was in 1997?

Spoiler

Danny Ainge. He moved the team's training to Phoenix to be closer to his family and then prompty took a TNT job the next year.

I don't need to click the spoiler to know Danny Dillweed was responsible for that.

I used to love making the trip up the hill to Flagstaff for the public scrimmage. It's in October and therefore still miserably hot in Phoenix - I always looked forward to cooling off and watching the team play that weekend. Tucson sucks in comparison.

I wonder if I could have this installed into my cube and only work for 2 hours and 45 minutes a day? I wouldn't even take a lunch, because that's the kind of guy I am

Why not just CAT the entire bball court? c'mon... this is pro sports... money should be a matter.

I have a few co-workers that suck the air right out of the room... so yes, I already have a similar machine at work.

Is that why i keep seeing these commercials that Phoenix is running out air?
