As a few of you have already experienced, we have introduced a new phase into our Adult Training Periodization.  This week will be a very intense strength and cardio based session called Infinity Week.  Similar to our normal circuit training week, there will be bouts of weight lifting exercises mixed in with different conditioning movements, nonstop!  These movements are designed to keep the heart rate elevated during your rest periods from a weighted exercise.  So you may ask yourself, how is that a rest period?! Well, it really isn’t… The whole goal of these workouts and this entire week is to increase our intensity (how hard we are exercising) in preparation for this little holiday coming up where people stuff their faces to no end.  Our Thanksgiving rant is better explained in the previous BLOG post.

To give you an idea of what is to come of this new and exciting workout, I can try to explain a few examples in a little bit of detail:  There will be four different stations and a different exercise or movement to be performed at each.  Stations one and three are weight lifting exercises and stations two and four are conditioning movements.  You will spend a total of 40 seconds at each station, one right after another.  The time in between each spot is minimal, you need to move fast! Now the question that you should be asking yourself is how long does this rotation continue?!  The answer is twelve minutes… After twelve minutes there will be a quick recovery/water break for about three to four minutes while the coach in charge explains the next twelve minute round!

Is this week going to be hard?  Yes.  Is it going to be that much harder than other weeks?  Maybe.  Some of you may feel this is the hardest workout ever, others may not feel the same way.  Whatever the case may be, put in your best effort!  Challenge yourself, see what your capable of… And remember, the harder you work now, the better you will feel later when you are enjoying time with your family on Thanksgiving!
