The Training Structure

This is a template for the training schedule I use with my clients and myself personally. Modifications are made according to individual goals and skill level. Frequency and intensity depend on the client's fitness level (This is a structure for the advanced exerciser).

While one size doesn't fit all, I believe developing all components of fitness leads to optimal performance. This structure will improve the athlete's (we are all athletes) speed, power, functional & absolute strength, cardiovascular & muscular endurance, flexibility, and core strength. Regardless if you are an endurance athlete or a power junkie like me, maximizing your potential in these areas will take you to the highest level!

Each workout's intensity will vary, alternating high days and low/moderate days to minimize risk of over-training. Lighter workout weeks should be cycled in every 4-6 weeks to allow your body time to fully adapt to training demands.

More details of each workout focus will come in later posts.
