2012, P9 Overview

Great TNLAFW to you day!

I hope you’re week has been awesome and you’re looking forward to your weekend.

V’s supposed to be traveling today (weather derailed her flight) so we did a special “date morning” that consisted of Tabata sprints, watching the sunrise, hike up a big hill and breakfast at our favorite spot.  Very nice, very romantic and very sweaty. J

Cardio Minutes:  Week 3, P8

Please report your week 3 cardio minutes now if you haven’t already.  What gets measured gets managed.

Phase 9 Calendar

Peaking for Q4 Testing

I’m showing you a calendar for the next 5 weeks so you can mentally & physically prepare to peak for your best day.

We test your physical performance to track how strong & fit you’ve become compared to your previous baselines, to your peers, to normative data, to CYBBC records or to serve as motivation to do better with your lifestyle outside of boot camp.

Challenge Workouts

Your P9, CW and Challenge Week Schedule will help you to peak for Q4 Testing.  They’re designed to be fun & simple do anywhere workouts using minimal equipment.

Do them because you can and because you’re not like everyone else.  You make change happen!

CW#1 (M-A) Ascending Ladder

CW#2 (M-S) Reps

CW#3 (M-A) Countdown

CW#4 (M-S) Pyramid

Workout D

At the start of Q2 I said that summer 2012 was going to be your best ever.  The warm weather has arrived, we’ve been training you hard, you’ve been giving more & better efforts inside & outside of BC and it’s time to take it up a notch.  W-D will be a total body workout you can do at home, that is very simple, fun & short in duration.  It’s not the hardest or most complex workout I’ve ever written or you’ve ever done, but it is a workout to compound your other training and serve as a catalyst to spring you into your best summer ever by being a great burn & earn workout before a splurge and giving you a beach workout the day you go to the beach.
