About Workouts of the Week
Workouts for every day of the week -- to be the best version of yourself -- for LIFE! Enjoy the Workouts of the Week (WOW)!
Ok…here we are in week 3 of month 2 in the Agility Block. This month is a 5-weeker. We’re going to increase workload slightly this week. We’ll be doing that by manipulating intensity, volume, and density in some familiar sessions.
[The Lean4LIFE 30-day Challenge starts today! We're using the Lean4Life Course. You'll be receiving notifications and tips to help you achieve your best body composition this year. Stick with it for a month and you'll never look back!]
Happy New Year! We’re beginning week 1 of month 2 in our Agility Block. As you know oh so well, this period is all about practicing movement with a skill emphasis. Sure, we maintain our strength and conditioning needs, but we work (and play) at being better overall movers. Lifetime Athletes.
It’s the end of month 1 in our Agility Block. It’s also year-end. And the Holiday Season. As well as deloading time.
Greetings Tribe Member! I hope this week’s content finds you well and that your prep for the holidays is going well. Whatever that looks like for you. As we dive further into our Agility Block, we are looking at some very unique workouts.
Welcome to the second week of the first month in our Agility Block. You are embracing the MicroWorkout, doing a high variety of movement patterns, and releasing your inner MOVEMENTSMITH. That’s what Daddy’s talking about.
Here we go! Welcome to the month of December and of course to the Agility Block. Over the next 2 months we’ll be doing a high variety of movements and using lots of different training methods.
Congratulations Tribe Member! You are a DURABEAST! We’ve made it to the final week of the Endurance Block and this has been no small feat. We’ve built cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fatigue resistance, and all-day durability.
Week 3 of month 3 in the Endurance Block. Time for things to get ZESTY! Let’s hit a few milestones before we taper down and deload. You’ve been working toward this peak for quite a while.
Happy Veteran’s Day. Thank you to all veterans. It’s Eleven Eleven and we are in training heaven. The second week of our third and final month in the Endurance Block. Last week we did some varied and unique work. This week is similar.
Welcome to November and our 3rd and final month in the Endurance Block. You’ve done (literally) a TON of great work over the last two months. Zone-specific training. Mixed modal exercise. High durability and fatigue resistance output.
It’s the Final Countdown. To the month. This one has been a 5-weeker. Time to get into some big time deloading after last week’s major push. Being a fatigue-resistant, aerobically fit DuraBEAST is no easy task. But you are up to it.
I gotta tell ya! You’ve been doing a GREAT job with all this fatigue-resistant training. As you know, this month is a 5-weeker as well as being quite spooky. We’re really changing it up this week as we seek volume (as well as intensity) a little uniquely.
Building. Growing. Winning. It’s what we do. We’re piling on the volume in Workout A this week, and hitting some totally unique mojo in B and C. Training for fatigue resistance, repeatability, and durability is a fairly straightforward task. We use a mix of intensities but we let volume take precedence.
Week 2 of Month 2 in the Endurance Block. Raising the volume bar in the accumulation phase. Cardiorespiratory fitness. Muscular endurance. Overall A-kicking competency. That’s what we do. It’ who we are. Leaders in life, showing others the way. What can I say?
Hey Tribe Member! You’re AWESOME! Know it. Live it. Love it! Here we are headed into October and starting a new month in the Endurance Block. Last week’s deload should have left you feeling fresh and sassy. We are continuing to work on all-around conditioning with an emphasis on cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular endurance, and all-day durability.
As a member of the Cool Kids Club, otherwise known as The Lifetime Athlete Training Tribe, you are treating yourself to an easy, or deloading week. It’s time to back off a little and let your body absorb all this great training, and last week was certainly a “doozy.”
Hey, you DURABEAST! That’s TLA-talk for durable beast! We’re halfway through September and piling on some volume in our first of 3 months in the Endurance Block! We’re starting to get some really pleasant fall weather and you know how we love to celebrate each season to the max.
Happy 2nd week of September! And happy we are, because we’ve got several exciting new workouts to explore. With names like the Tripletimer, E90SS, and the Grin and Grind…you will continue to be the rock star of fitness in your hood (and beyond).
September! New month. New season. New Training Block. Endurance! It’s always equal parts fun and interesting to carry the fitness built in one block into another.
Greetings Great One! We’re at the end of a month, a block, and a season. Yep, we are finishing up August, the Speed Block, and summer (for the most part). I always find myself meeting these occasions with a mix of sadness and anticipation. Moving on is like that…in all aspects of life.
Lightning fast. Blazing quick. That’s YOU! And this block ain’t over yet! We are getting a bonus week this month, since we’re treating (ourselves) August as a 5-weeker. A bit more intensity this week. Unique workouts. A mix of fun and challenge, as always.
If you’re like me (and I know you are), you’re probably heading into Olympic Withdrawal Syndrome. Have no fear, that’s totally normal for a Lifetime Athlete and we can turn this into a positive. Our challenge this week is to take that Olympic mojo, while it is still so fresh in your mind, and come up with two goals of your own. Make one a process-oriented short term focus and the other a longer term product or outcome. There’s more on this assignment in the Weekly Challenge section.
