The Macro Cycle

A Macro Cycle is a year training plan. The year is then divided into 12 Meso Cycles lasting
1 month in duration. Each month is broken down in to 4 or 5 weeks known as a Micro
Cycle.
This manual covers the first 6 Meso Cycles as follows:

Meso Cycle TRAINING METHOD & FOCUS

Metabolic Stimulation
1
Strength, Stamina and CV endurance

Start from the Core


2
Body Control & Balance

Push – Pull
3
Strength

Lactic-acid
4
Hypertrophy

Cross Training
5
Focus on equip: suspension, Box, Step, D/B, Fitball

Start from the Core


6
Body Control & Mobility

Meso Cycle 01

METABOLIC STIMULATION

This month we will be focusing on building


functional strength, muscular stamina and cardio–
vascular endurance

The metabolic stimulation workout method changes the body area that is trained on each
exercise for example:
Legs--‐abs--‐arms--‐legs--‐arms--‐back--‐abs--‐etc.
This stimulates blood movement and the metabolism.

Training the metabolism in this way is great at reducing body fat percentage, therefore
an ideal goal this month for your clients would be a reduction in body fat. Simply use
impedance monitors or callipers to measure each individual’s body fat % before and
after.

LACTIC-ACID

This month we will be focusing on muscular


endurance and increase our lactate threshold. This

exercises together that require the same muscle groups.

This will increase muscular endurance and overall body strength.

Training the Lactate system in this way is great at improving muscular endurance and
