Fitness Programming
Programming is done by assessing vertical dimension of state, and plotting out the horizontal dimensions of stress. This map will allow us to navigate your state/stress space while staying properly oriented for physical fitness to serve spiritual fitness.
Like the 4 seasons, there are 4 states of being. These are not under your control, but like the seasons can be predicted.:
- Struggle
- Failure
- Persistence
- Rest
These stressors can be under your control and stimulate adaptation:
- Intensity
- Frequency
- Duration
- Recovery
Fuel
Food. Air.
Food traditions are almost completely lost in the west and this is the starting point to fueling programs. Unlocking our heritage gives us hundreds or thousands of years of experience eating specific food prepared in specific ways according to our ancestary.
Modern hydration, electrolytes and fueling lend to better performance. Attaining to excellence means NOT throwing the baby out with the bathwater of modern tools. The ancestral diet works, and it works better when it is supplemented wisely.
Endurance
Grind. Grit,
The will to continue begins with the heart. Cardio AND vascular work together. Develop resilience against the slow and grinding forces of the world. Modern tools such as blood flow restriction and old tools like control over breathing, and core bracing will build up support the heart and lungs.
Power
Speed. Snap.
Explosiveness with little to no warning is imperative to survival. Sprinting, throwing, and jumping are the courses in this program.
Strength
You need strength.
Young? you need strength. Old? you need strength. Runner? Need it.
You need strength.
