Greetings great ones! In week 3 of the final month in our agility block we are going to be doing some KPI testing. This is a special week because we are going to test proficiency in all the wonderful movement patterns we’ve been utilizing over the month. We’ll be assessing speed of workout execution in one session and workload tolerance…
It’s a palindromic day…that is 01-10! I hope you are enjoying this month’s programming. We have our Agility training, the Shed n’ Shred, and upgrades for The Running Demons. The Workout of the Week upgrades are laid out below, and the news for the bodycomp and running groups is in the T2 Forum. We’ll be using the same exercises as…
Happy New Year (ongoing)! We’re diving into 2022 as well as Month 2 (that’s 2 of 2) of the Agility Block. We are also starting up our Shed n’ Shred body re-comping plan and our Running Demons locomotion team. You’ll find that in the T2 Forum. Cool stuff for cool peeps! In the agility-focused training, we take some of our…
Happy Holidays! I hope you are having a great season! It’s a busy and festive time of year, but also a chance to get in some rest and training. In keeping with our theme of microworkouts, this week will feature two simple sessions that you can do a few times wherever you can fit them in. It’s just a nice…
Merry Christmas! In this Holiday week we’ve got some delightful workouts. They will fill your spirit with cheer, glee, and yuletide muscularity! If you are busy or on the road, check in with me on how to modify the sessions and we’ll make sure you get something done. Remember, as a Hard to Kill Training Tribe member and Lifetime Athlete,…
Here we go again…up, up, and away. Or toward something, which is called movement competency my friends. Your body is becoming agile. You own position. Your motion is elegant, artistic, and graceful. And you are going to absolutely love this week’s programming. Workout A is the Sammy in which you create a training sandwich. Bracket the “meat” of resistance with…
Greetings Great Ones! Week 2 of the Agility Block is another great one for our Training Tribe! It’s Saturday morning and I was up early, working on some athlete programming for clients I coach and listening to a podcast on collagen supplementation. I’ll feed ya (punly punlerson) some more on that topic later! I’m also prepping for today’s MasterClass and…
It’s SOOO exciting! We are starting another Block of training this week, and it’s our two-month focus on Agility! I love every block of training, and in this season I especially enjoy tuning up my multidirectional movement capacity. Let’s start out by defining agility. At TLA, we know that agility is the combination of mobility, stability, reactivity and fluidity. We’ll…
Congratulations on making it to the completion of the Endurance Block. This week wraps up our concentration on fatigue resistance before we progress into an agility-based focus. As we deload this week, the workouts take on a more playful and casual attitude. Try to fit what you can around holiday travel and celebrating. Looking ahead, and just to give you…
Oh yea, it’s KPI test week! Since we are wrapping up the endurance block with this month, and it’s the 3rd week, it’s time to check the status of your awesomeness! This week features 3 unique workouts, each with a slightly different theme. Your challenge is to do at least two of the sessions twice in the week. The goal…
Wow! The Workouts of the Week are dynamic and oh so delightful! We are working on athletic fatigue resistance with 3 different setups, and putting together a great stimulus for the key components of durability and versatility. The serving suggestions for your feast of fabulous fitness include an aerobic session, a resistance routine, and a mobility experience. The goal is…
It’s November! This is the third and final month of our Endurance Block of training. I want to commend you on making it to this point in the training year and also to congratulate on your outstanding endurance gains. As the days get a bit shorter (at least in terms of available light) we will take a fairly casual approach…
Wow! This is exciting! We’re in the middle of our Endurance block of training and in my estimation, October is perhaps the best month for getting outside and going long. The fall colors, light, and air are spectacular in most parts of the country. In keeping with the tradition of our Annual Training Plan, we are balancing some distance-focused training…
Congratulations on making it to the final week of September and our deloading week of training. You’ve completed the first month of this block and have tested your muscular and cardiorespiratory endurance. This week’s workouts should feel somewhat easy because we are in a consolidation phase where your body recovers and makes the adaptations from the harder work we did…
Oh my! It’s that zesty time in each 1/12th of the year (month) when we get to test and challenge ourselves a bit. In this first month of the endurance block, I’ve got a cool set of sessions ready for you. Your cardiorespiratory and muscular fatigue resistance will be assessed and enhanced simultaneously. Here’s how it’s going to work. Each…
Happy Labor Day Weekend! I salute the American worker and I salute YOU for all the work you’ve put into your training. As we settle into a fall pattern and begin to accumulate volume in the Endurance Block, we are making some adjustments to the workouts we did last week. You may feel a slight bump in fatigue. Make sure…
Welcome to the Endurance Block! This is going to be a great kickoff to Fall. We will be developing fatigue resistance in both cardiorespiratory efficiency and muscular force output. You’ll take the athletic versatility which you have built over the spring and summer and now add ALL DAY DURABILITY to your mojo! As many of you are already aware, I’m…
Wow! What a month it has been and what a year we’ve completed! I’m amazed at how fast the time has gone by. It’s passed about as rapidly as you have been moving in our Speed Block. I want to congratulate you for embracing comprehensive athleticism and multidirectional velocity! As Lifetime Athletes and Training Tribe members, you are an example…
Congratulations on your progress! You are AWESOME and you are FAST! We’ve worked through tons of gait mechanics and the secrets of acceleration and max velocity. You’ve run the 100, 200, and 400 meters. Now we are pushing your speed endurance out to the final distance of the speed block…the 800 meters. We’ve got two track sessions, one field session,…
Here we go! Yet another week of getting fit and moving FAST! We are continuing to mix up track, field, gym, and water training options. Every session has the opportunity to activate your beast and then propel it (or an implement) with max velocity. Keeping things interesting for the local peeps. Daddy has some surprises! Let’s just say whenever you…
