Your everyday life is stressful, the demands on you are high. So your training should be designed to not only make you look strong and energetic, but also feel that way.
Many standard fitness plans are pretty one-sided and focus almost exclusively on muscle growth (which is certainly important too!). However, things like fast-twitch, power exercises, endurance, and mobility are often neglected.
At NomadStrong, we design our training plans so that they cover all athletic abilities – making busy executives feel physically and mentally capable to meet the high demands placed on them (and making the workouts themselves more varied and fun).
If you want to not only look but also feel great, structure your workouts like this:
1) Warm-Up & Mobility
Start with a 5-10 minute warm-up and some easy mobility exercises.
2) Speed & Power Exercises
Start the workout with intense exercises (sprints, jump-squats, plyo push ups, etc.) Low rep count (1-7 reps), but with max speed and explosiveness.
3) Strength Exercises
Continue with heavy exercises (bench press, deadlifts, pull-ups, etc.). Medium rep count (8-15 reps) moving slowly and controlled, aiming for muscle failure.
4) Endurance
Finish with a circuit of 3 more dynamic exercises (you can even freestyle here). 45 seconds of movement, 15 seconds of rest time. For 3 rounds.
5) Stretching
5-10 minutes to stretching (I should be more consistent with this I guess)
If you want to get the most out of your workouts design them to be as varied as possible.
