FITNESS EXERCISE PROGRAM

I am always looking for new workouts and new fitness exercise programs. For extreme athletes this is important. You need to keep it fresh and exciting. Many of the extreme sports seasons go through the entire year, with little break; so it is important to keep diversity and fun in your training.

I love creating and looking at new workouts. I am currently subscribed to EN Nation which gives you access to endurance training programs for just $99 a year. It is mostly triathlon to marathon workouts with a focus on Ironman.

I used the Ironman plan to prepare me for Primal Quest to a point, then I had to add my own things to prepare for the mountains and all the climbing-100,000 feet of climbing to be exact.

I came across a workout pass by accident, while looking for information to add to this website. The workout pass has a program where you use just your body weight which interested me. That is important as an adventure racer.

Being able to do pull ups, pick up kayaks, and haul my own body weight up rocks and over things is very important. I started researching the site and found it to be a very cool workout program.




SPORTS PERFORMANCE EXERCISES

There are agility exercise which are good for every sport, but in my sport we do a lot of bushwhacking and climbing. Agility is very important in my fitness exercise program.
Then there was my favorite-plyometrics. As I got older I felt like my times where decreasing. I am not that old, so that should not be the case. What was I missing? Well in soccer we did a lot of plyometric training which was my sport growing up.

Now I just run, cycle or row, straight on. I do speed work but nothing that compares to plyometrices. Plyometrics will get you that speed back!

You need to rotate throughout the year with your fitness exercise program, with strength training being in the off season, strength and speed in the pre-season and maintenance and body weight exercise in season.

I thought the workout pass was neat to give you lots of options by a professional coach. I love to create my own workouts, but I am always changing them. I always question if I did it right, should I do more? I like having access to what others say I should be doing so I don't over train or under train.

Don't get me wrong I still rely on myself as I have been a coach for 18 years. But I like having a set workout to base everything off of.

THE WORKOUT PASS: Fitness Exercise Program

OTHER COOL THINGS

• The exercises have full animation and in-depth descriptions. It is a great option to a trainer. This is good for me as I am visual!

• It tells you the precise number of repetitions for each exercise (too many or too few is the difference between awesome results and total failure). Need to get lean, or big. It helps you with your personal goal. I always need to get lean and bulk up fast just putting muscle on my fat, so this is great.

• It teaches you the exact number of sets needed per workout(one workout might feature 3 rounds of a circuit, another one 4 sets of 12 repetitions).

• It helps you progress to get your best results. Start on Day 1 and just follow along with your online trainer.

• Even if you already belong to a gym you can print out your workout for the day and zip over to the gym.

HOW DOES IT WORK

You login and pick your workout for the day. You'll actually see the exercises performed correctly. And you'll also see complete exercise descriptions so you can follow along on your own.

They also have a forum with experts who answer your questions. This to me is great. I have bought too many plans, where I had questions and no-one to ask. The coaches who are fitness experts and coaches will answer all your fitness questions.

Lastly, and this is cool technology, you will have access to conference calls and webinars by world renowned guest experts to give you the latest cutting-edge training updates.

I liked this program and I am very particular about what workouts I like and think are hard enough. If you want to find out more about workout pass click here.
