126: What Your Programming Should Look Like for Pursuing a Lifetime of Athleticism
Listen now
Description
Recently, I had a complaint about my Pregnant Athlete Training Program that the workouts repeated and that it lacked variation. That’s the point - we test and retest and same basic movements over time to make progress and gain strength. Programming for a lifetime of athleticism isn’t about randomized, all high-intensity workouts. Those can be sprinkled in, but what we’re looking for is supporting your lifestyle, goals, and overall health. Sometimes that can get boring. It’s doing the same stuff over and over (and over) again. Commit to it being a little boring sometimes. Treat your workouts like you’re training for something and you’ll begin to make progress. Pregnant?
