This is an excerpt from our latest Lifetime Athlete Program in the App. It was created based on popular demand in our client community. The Dad Bod. It can sneak up on any man in this modern world. This Lifetime Athlete Program helps you to get rid of your Dad Bod, once and for all. Dad Bod Be Gone (DBBG)…
When you combine cycling and locomotion you get cyclomotion. Or biking and hiking. Or riding and running. You get my drift. These types of workouts, or play, or competition, can take on many forms. Through the 80’s and 90’s, I did dozens of duathlon events. Some were run-bike-run. Others were bike-run or run-bike. Often, in triathlon training, you did a…
Power is a unique word. It conjures up multiple images in our minds. She’s got the power. He’s really powerful. But what do those statements really mean? Power is an essential, yet often overlooked and neglected aspect of training. It’s not only critical for peak performance in almost every sport, it’s actually necessary for optimal longevity. So much of the…
This is definitely cornerstone content on the platform and consequently it’s going out in triplicate format. There will be a podcast and video with a parallel message. I think this topic is so important that I want to make sure it fills every media option within our community. Let’s begin with an expanded definition of deloading. With training, especially for…
Hello Amazing and Wonderful Tribe Member! I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving and also took advantage of a few killer deals (Black Friday, etc.) on exercise equipment upgrades for your gym. As you are well aware, we are moving into winter. We’re also beginning a new Training Block. In our Annual Training Plan, we use a block periodization system…
Congratulations Friends! We’ve made it to the final week of the 3rd and final month of the Endurance Block. Fittingly, it’s one of our 2 longest (3 months) blocks, along with Strength. Up next is Agility and that will feature exciting movementsmith microworkouts in your gym. But for now, it’s time to finish up Endurance with a classic deloading week.…
Line up for some AMAZING workouts this week! That’s right, we are doing line-based sessions that can uniquely develop your endurance and work capacity. Equal parts fun and challenge! These workouts come from a long line of training tools, some of which we’ve used before. And each one is set to a line-specific song. Let’s line everything out! Week of…
Wowski Dowski! Another great week of training is before us. After last week’s interval-based sessions, this week we are going to work more on steady-state flow workouts. These are exercise bouts that encourage you to cruise along for extended durations. You can explore some sports psychology here. Using association versus dissociation is something to explore. If you prefer to associate…
Hello Amazing Tribester! Even though we are still in October, we’re calling this week the first one in the third and final month of the Endurance Block. I’ve really been enjoying the workouts and challenges we’ve had in this portion of our Annual Training Plan, and I bet you have also. This week we’re going to be looking at several…
Wow! We are into the final week of the 2nd of 3 months in our Endurance Block! Amazing how the time flies! Last week we kept our theme of substantial volume but we really mixed modes and intensities creatively. This week is a deloading cruise in which we use mostly low intensity as we flexibly explore frequency and duration of…
The ZesterFest! You know how Daddy likes a zesty sesh! And you do too. Well, forget about Oktoberfest…this week has 3 incredibly tasty tests (actually workouts). You’re going to go through some gears in locomotion, use some sustained power out on the field, and dive into some incredible volume work in the gym. All while having a hellagood time. There…
Delightful and Delicious! That’s what our movement snacks and feasts are all about this week. Celebrating (YOU) the Human Beast with high durability exposures! We’ve got some new, creative sessions to keep the fun in fitness and help you to become practically tireless! We’ve talked about the many ways you can develop endurance, all while maintaining your other athletic properties…
October! Oktober! Oktobre! No matter how you spell it…this month is going to be completely fabulous! This week we are using the 3 x 2 setup again. That’s three workouts, done twice each…in the week. There’s an optional OFF day you can place anywhere you like. As you know, we generally still recommend some light activity on those days to…
Greetings Amazing Tribe Member! Just when you thought things couldn’t get any better, we get a (relative) deloading week with some fresh stimuli. We are going to be featuring three workouts this week, with each done twice if possible. Workout A and C head out to the field (any that you have available) with the good old FittKitt. B is…
Howdy! This week’s content is out a little early since I’ll be gone for a few days. We always increase workload in the 3rd week of every month. Because we are in Month 1 (of 3) of the Endurance Block, we’ll be increasing workload by primarily adding volume. Endurance is more than just cardiorespiratory fitness. It’s mechanical efficiency, movement and…
Howdy! This week we are accumulating some volume in the Endurance Block. We started the month with a very basic approach in order to set that stage. Now we are going to increase workload primarily from a workout duration perspective. Perhaps more so than any other athletic capacity, endurance is naturally very time-dependent. In light of this, if you need…
Happy Labor Day Weekend! It’s the end of summer. The beginning (at least in some ways) of fall. And WE are starting into our 3-month Endurance Block. You’ve done an outstanding job working on strength, power, speed, and agility throughout the year so far. We’ll keep those capacities alive in your beast as we now really develop superior endurance. Endurance…
What an exciting time this is! We are finishing up with the summer season and the Speed Block. We’re preparing to transition into the Endurance Block. This week gives you the opportunity to finish out fast, emphasize deloading and recovery, or get a head start on endurance training. I’ll explain the options below. Let’s say you wanna work on speed…
The final week of the Speed Block. The final week of August. Maybe not the final week of summer but it’s getting close. We are going to take this out in style. The workouts this week have some very interesting features that I think you will enjoy. You can always mix up the days as you need to best fit…
It’s week 3 of the month and time for some intensification. We are going to be featuring two speed-based options this week, which will be quite delightful (in my humble and honest opinion). I’d like you to look at every workout this week as optional, simply choosing the ones you like best and putting your week together as you see…
