Durable Training is NOT your typical training program. It is the result of being in the fitness industry for over 20 years and seeing the pain, injury, rehab cycle that people get into beyond their 20s. I've created, taught and used hundreds of training programming, but they all exclude programming for active recovery. Yet this is the most important part of training over the age of 30. Your body simply changes and requires different movement in order to keep you mobile, stable and ready for whatever activity you want to jump into without worrying. 

​

Durable Training is about less is more. This program is NOT filled with hundreds of videos, 90 minute workouts, progressions, regressions, and dozens of exercises for every day of the week. Your current training program already gives you all this.

​

What Durable Training does is works around your existing training program by adding two active recovery days to your off, rest or pre-habilitation days. These carefully programmed days are lighter, lower threshold training to enhance your body’s natural recovery process and leave you feeling more energized and better ready to tackle your day, and get more out of your next training session. 

Durable Training does this by focusing on refining your quality movement, cleaning up movement limitations developed over time, and improving connection to your nervous system. Durable Training gives you the opportunity to work into different positions, ranges-of-motion and allows you to learn your movement using different tools that directly benefit your main training program and daily physical readiness.

Durable Training may feel uncomfortable at first, because it’s a different way of training your body. It specifically focuses on areas of movement that are not optimal. If you want to make gains you have to push yourself outside your comfort zone. But the uncomfortable will only last a short period of time if you stick with it. And the results will make long-term improvements to your daily readiness and primary training program results. 

​

Why Durability and Durable Training are so important is your nervous system is designed for survival first, not performance. This is why you crash when constantly pushing your thresholds. And why Durable Training is built on a health first model. When your nervous system detects a problem in its primary function—like a joint that is not able to move properly, or a movement pattern that is limited—your body will put on the brakes to protect the whole system. This shutdown is universal. And is most often a result of compensation over time that was not corrected—either through compensated movement during training or sedentary living.

​

That is where Durable Training shines.

​

It focuses on a few key evidence-backed corrective exercises that are specifically programmed in and around your current training to help you progress through limitation, and to give you greater shoulder mobility, hip stability, knee strength, neck mobility and overall range of motion or greater control over your stability and strength.

​

The simple movements programmed take focus and intent on every rep, and requires a high degree of central nervous system activation and function, which is why you'll get amazing results when you integrate Durable Training!
