How To Read Your Program

Hi Team,

In this video I breakdown reading a program, specifically the 4 week home program, the goal is to ensure that you know the in's and out's of reading a program.

I appreciate that for a lot of people reading programs may be something totally new and with out your coach or trainer near by to answer any questions it can feel like learning a new language. This quick video will hopefully help in bridging that gap.

TEMPO

Reading tempo can be like reading a different language if you are new to the concept.

Here’s a video and explanation of how to read tempo >

EXERCISES

I have no idea what that exercise is? No problems if you don’t know what an exercise is then simply click on it! Each exercise has a link to a video showing you how to perform the exercise and tips on how to perform it so you can mitigate the risk of injury. The exercise library is a work in progress - if you didn't get what needed then a quick search on Google or YouTube will likely assist.

WARM-UP

Always warm up first! Each daily plan includes 3 key movements that prepare you for the workout. Repeat the exercises at least 3 times before moving on to the strength portion of the workout.

TWO EXERCISES WITH THE SAME NUMBER

Example: A1 & A2

These exercises are superset and a set of each is to be completed one after the other before resting

REST

Allocated time to allow for appropriate recovery to ensure the primary goal of that exercise is met.

METCON

Metcon is an abbreviated version of the term metabolic conditioning. The term describes short bouts of higher-intensity training designed to increase metabolic demand and increase energy usage. In the program these are set up in a HIIT (high-intensity interval training) format, or circuit training format and should be completed as such.

Keep Strong!!
