Performance Now you have learned to move in a more efficient manner and build some base strength & condition, we can look to introduce a structured weight training program Now you have learned to move in a more efficient manner and build some base strength & condition, we can look to introduce a structured weight training program. Using simple items such as a bench, dumbells, barbells, kettlebells and a few stations, you will be able to train every major muscle group in the body. The aim now is to build upon what you have already achieved, but still incorporating some of the fundamental exercises which you have already performed. The sessions will be broken down to Hypertrophy, Endurance and Strength, depending upon your overall goal.
On the Hypertrophy & Strength sessions its advised to try and have breaks between training sessions, until you are up-to a more advanced level of training. This will help your body recover from the previous training session, but will also allow you to give 100% in the next.
Note: Always look to change your training programs every 4-6 weeks, to keep the body guessing about what is the next challenge. If you feel you can increase weights on your exercises safely, without compromising on your good form, then do so, but only small amounts. Hypertrophy (Build Muscle):

Endurance: This following program can be performed as a circuit or as it is listed. This will challenge your muscles and your lungs, so take it steady. This can be performed 3-4 times a week due to the load of the weights being a lot less. Note: Do not sacrifice form for reps, if you are struggling to complete the number of reps, reduce the weight by 10% and carry on.

Strength: This is the foundations of a stronger body. The exercises have been planned to allow maximum strength building. This is crucial if you are to move onto the advanced stage, where we will introduce you to Power. As we mentioned earlier, you need to be strong to be powerful. This strength phase is broken down to 4 x training sessions. We advise to train 2 consecutive sessions, have a day off, then train to following 2 sessions, with a view of having the final 2 days off, to fully recover. This will place a lot of additional stress upon the body, so recover, sleep and nutrition are vitally important to gain maximal strength.
