Workout Blueprints


It is always an effective strategy to approach a workout with a number, a time or a specific goal in place. It is not typically a good idea to have never thought about what it is you are going to do, how you plan on executing it or even at minimum the mental preparedness to be ready for what is to come. This week is designed to make you use your planning skills. The more you think about a plan and execute that plan the more successful this week will be for you. Set certain targets that you wish to achieve or methods you think will be effective for you, based on your fitness level, to complete the workouts the fastest most efficient way possible. Although it has its place, a pedal to the metal approach will only take you so far. Sometimes a workout is about finding a pace that pushes you to the limit but allows you to remain focused forward. Where will you be this week and what will be the strategy of choice for you based on the workout....know when to turn it on or turn it off!
