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:
Metabolic Stimulation
1
Strength, Stamina and CV endurance
Push – Pull
3
Strength
Lactic-acid
4
Hypertrophy
Cross Training
5
Focus on equip: suspension, Box, Step, D/B, Fitball
METABOLIC STIMULATION
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.

The Start from the Core workout method we choose to start from core exercises then
we mix upper and lower body exercises in order to rest the core before going again.
This promotes core strength and stability along with good posture.
Therefore an ideal goal this month for your clients would be a timed Plank Hold to test
core strength and endurance.
Simply use a stopwatch to measure each individual’s plank time before and after.

completing the aerobic exercise. Then switch roles. This improves Cardio Fitness and the exercises
chosen work on body control and Balance.

Split the class into teams of 4. The team must complete set reps in each exercise before moving onto
next. Set a max of 20 reps in one go (so someone doesn’t do half the teams work!) each person to
stay in order.
Set up a board for each team to record their reps on as they do them.
Perform each exercise for 30 seconds in a slow and controlled manner concentrating on deep
breathing.

The Push – Pull workout method is simple in concept; one exercise requires your body to
push and the following exercises requires a pulling motion.

AMRAP = “as many reps as possible” you must complete the circuit as many times as you can in the
time limit. This improves Cardio Fitness as well as increasing functional strength.
Repeat for 20 minutes – rest when needed. Participants to count circuit completions on a chart.
1. Push up – 20 reps
2. Pull up - 20 reps (use school hall ropes or bars and do laying pulls)
3. Squat rise – 20 reps
4. Fitball Hamstring curl - 20 reps (Bridge if no fitball available)
Perform each exercise for 30 seconds in a slow and controlled manner concentrating on deep

time. You are ‘out’ when you can no longer complete the circuit in the minute time limit. This improves
functional strength.
1. Push up – 5 reps
2. Pull up - 5 reps (use school hall ropes or bars and do laying pulls)
3. Squat rise – 8 reps

LACTIC-ACID
The lactic-acid workout method is designed to test our lactate threshold by grouping
exercises together that require the same muscle groups.
Training the Lactate system in this way is great at improving muscular endurance and
lactic threshold, therefore an ideal goal this month for your clients would be a max
repetition squat in 1 minute. Simply use a stopwatch and count each individual’s score
before and after.

In the 2/1 protocol you complete an exercise for 2 minutes then rest for 1 minute before moving on.
This improves muscular endurance. This circuit focuses on lower body.
Repeat twice – resting only when indicated unless muscular failure is reached.
Perform each exercise for 30 seconds in a slow and controlled manner concentrating on deep
breathing.

The Tabata protocol means you complete 8 minutes of 20 seconds max effort followed by 10 seconds
rest. All 8 ‘rounds’ must be completed then take 2 minute rest before moving to next exercise. This
improves muscular endurance and VO2MAX. This circuit is aimed at upper and lower body with a focus
on the core.
Repeat twice – resting only when indicated unless muscular failure is reached.
Perform each exercise for 30 seconds in a slow and controlled manner concentrating on deep
breathing.

CROSS TRAINING
The Cross Training workout method is designed to challenge our kinetic chains by
incorporating use of specialised equipment.
This will increase body control, core stability and overall body strength.
Therefore an ideal goal this month for your clients would be a timed endurance holding
an L-Sit position. Simply use a stopwatch and count each individual’s score before and
after.

In the round circuit protocol you complete each exercise for the stated reps and move onto the next
one with no rest. Then rest for 2 minutes before repeating. This improves muscular endurance.
Repeat 3 times – rest for 2 minutes only when all exercises have been completed.
In this circuit I have only used a step and Fitball as these are the cheapest equipment and you can use
a school hall bench instead of a step.
Perform each exercise for 30 seconds in a slow and controlled manner concentrating on deep
breathing.
