– CONDITIONING MENU –
2. IF YOU’RE ON MANAGEMENT COACHING, ASK COACH HOW TO APPLY CARDIO/CONDITIONING TO YOUR PROGRAM. GENERALLY SPEAKING 2-3 HIIT SESSIONS WEEKLY WILL BE ADEQUATE FOR THOSE WANTING TO ADD IN SOME CONDITIONING WORK. 10-15 MINUTE SESSIONS IS ALL YOU WILL NEED.
MY PERSONAL CARDIO/CONDITIONING ROUTINE :
NONE CURRENTLY. FOCUSING ON MOBILITY WORK AND RECOVERY AS I’M ON THE 90 DAYS TO ALPHA GRIND.
– CORE MENU –
I RECOMMEND TRAINING ABS IN 4 WEEK BLOCKS. GO HARD DURING THAT TIME WITH THEM AND KEEP IN MIND A LOT OF OUR LIFTS ON THE DAILY ARE GONNA YIELD A GOOD CORE ANYWAYS. SOMETIMES IT CAN BE BETTER TO NOT TRAIN AB SPECIFIC AT ALL. DEPENDS ON YOUR GOALS. ASK COACH IF YOU NEED GUIDANCE.
