.: Everyday Warrior PT

Everyday Warrior PT is a three week, cyclic, endurance physical training program. Every workout is designed to push athletes through their cardiovascular limits and beyond muscle exhaustion. Its focus is total body fitness with a goal of increasing stamina. Bottom line up front, if an athlete follows this program consistently he will be ready for any adventure anytime!

Everyday Warrior PT is more likely to cause weight loss than weight gain, more likely to cause muscle leaning and toning than muscle building. It takes approximately one hour five days a week and is designed to be an all-in-one program for short to middle distance endurance athletes. Each day’s workout should be completed as quickly as possible, focusing on executing every repetition through the full range of each major muscle movement. When muscle exhaustion is reached, modify the exercise by decreasing weight or taking short breaks.

 

 

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday workouts are cyclic. For example for Monday, week one the flow of the workout should be do 80 push-ups, then 100 sit-ups, then 25 pull-ups. Then back to 60 push-ups, 80 sit-ups, 25 pull-ups...The last 40 push-ups marked "W" for wide are executed with hands at least 18" wider than shoulder width. The last 20 push-ups marked "D" for diamond are executed with the thumbs and pointer fingers each hand touching to create a diamond shape.

 

 

Everyday Warrior PT has two recovery cycles built in. Remember, it is during recovery that we get stronger. The first recovery cycle are the rest days every Thursday and Sunday. The second recovery cycle is for one muscle group per day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
