Training Economy...
If you intend to carve out 1 hour per day to get in shape, you may as well as learn some cool stuff, make some friends, and improve every aspect of your physical being… Your cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy... This is what we do here at Blackbrook.
As an added bonus, these performance markers strongly correlate with health markers...
Essentially, every measurable value of health and fitness can be placed on a continuum that ranges from sickness, to wellness, to fitness. For example, a blood pressure of 160/95 is pathological, 120/70 is normal or healthy, and 105/55 is consistent with an athlete’s blood pressure; a body fat of 40% is pathological, 20% is normal or healthy, and 10% is fit. We observe a similar ordering for bone density, triglycerides, muscle mass, flexibility, HDL or “good cholesterol”, resting heart rate, and dozens of other common measures of health.

We like fat loss... Fat loss is good, but an accompanying increase in bone density and power, and the ability to perform bar muscle ups is much, much better...
Our training program ticks all the boxes... An hour on the treadmill is wasteful in comparison. “Sit the f*** down and have a beer…” ~ Coach Collins Copyright 2017 |
