First and foremost, as a client, you must know what you want to accomplish from your workouts. Have goals in mind, both short term and long term. This will give us our goal of where we want to be. Now all we need to do is to develop the blueprint for getting there. This is the easy part. The area that is KEY now is to work the plan. Each of us develop and thrive differently. I will base everything we do by your goals, your body type, your time frame and your experience.
Every good house needs a strong foundation so we will build the basement and go towards the roof.
With All programs everything Has to begin from the ground up. My program will be no different. All successful programs will always begin ground based. This means is that you get more benefit from lifts/exercises standing than you do sitting or laying on a bench. This is one of the reasons Olympic style lifts are so effective.
I am a believer in total body conditioning. There can't be spot conditioning, ie. I want to get bigger biceps or triceps or I just want to work my abs. Your body adds and subtracts from everywhere, not just in spots.
Our workouts will be no longer than 45-60 minutes in duration but there won't be a lot of social standing around time. We have a goal, we have a plan and the only way to be successful is by doing the plan.
