Lost Training Facilities?
- Time to Change Workout Cycles -
How many of you have lost training facilities? No full gym? No pool? I'm confident that your overriding aim is to keep training hard, but have lost most of your equipment. Now what?
In a tactical fitness world, our number one goal is to be able to keep training like your buddy's life depended on it. I know you want to continue to be an asset in this crazy world.
Seasonal Tactical Fitness Periodization
In the big picture, this is really no big deal because for over 20 years, we have been transitioning from a weight training cycle in the Fall / Winter into a more Calisthenics and Cardio based training cycle in the Spring / Summer. The current situation just bumped us into a more calisthenics based training program a few week ahead of schedule. No big deal! Think of the four seasons as a way to challenge ALL of the fitness elements (speed, agility, endurance (run, swim, ruck), strength / power, muscle stamina, mobility and flexibility) – not all at once but throughout the year. You will find you can still be above average in ALL the elements of fitness which is invaluable to successful Tactical Fitness professions.
No need to be like most people and get out of shape when they lose their full gym training facilities. With some creativity, you can still have “heavy resistance training” into this cycle even without a gym. As a tactical athlete, we cannot afford to not train as we need to remain an asset to our world and avoid getting out of shape.
Well, here's some good news...
It is time to change cycles. If you have never done a seasonal periodization training cycle, now is the time to consider it. For this cycle (Spring), all it means is less lifting, more calisthenics, a steady progression of running (cardio of choice) throughout the next few cycles of training (Spring / Summer). Here is what you will notice by changing exercise cycles and energy systems:
- You can do this just about anywhere...and receive:
- Leaner muscle mass
- Better muscle stamina
- Better cardiovascular endurance (run, swim, ruck, other)
- Better PT Test scores (run and calisthenics)
- Maintain overall strength
- And even maintain muscle size
What may have been holding you back in previous training years is a lack of fun and challenging calisthenics based workouts. Here at StewSmithFitness.com – we have the solution!
