Training Schedule

Fitness is personal. FLEX is a five-day program with performance work and conditioning built into every session. It can also be done at four or three days. Think of the weekly plan as a guide to adjust according to your needs and schedule.

Recommended Schedule

  • Monday: Day 1
  • Tuesday: Day 2
  • Wednesday: Day 3
  • Thursday: Rest
  • Friday: Day 4
  • Saturday: Day 5
  • Sunday: Rest

Adjusting Your Focus

You can follow the full program as written or shift your focus within each session:

  • Full Program: Prep Work, Performance Work, Conditioning Work, and Cool-Down.
  • Strength and Muscle Building Focus: Prioritize performance work. Skip or modify conditioning as needed (fewer rounds or lower intensity).
  • Conditioning Focus: Prioritize conditioning. Performance work can be reduced or reordered depending on your schedule.

Adapting to 4 Days

Follow Days 1, 2, 4, and 5. You still cover all major movement patterns with adequate recovery.

Example Weekly Layout:

  • Monday: Day 1
  • Tuesday: Day 2
  • Wednesday: Rest
  • Thursday: Day 4
  • Friday: Day 5
  • Saturday: Rest
  • Sunday: Rest

Adapting to 3 Days

Follow Days 1, 2, and 3. Days 1 and 2 each hit multiple major movement patterns. Day 3 is arms for the performance work but the conditioning is typically a longer full body piece so that session rounds out the week. Spread them out so you’re not stacking back to back.

Example Weekly Layout:

  • Monday: Day 1
  • Tuesday: Rest
  • Wednesday: Day 2
  • Thursday: Rest
  • Friday: Day 3
  • Saturday: Rest
  • Sunday: Rest

Key Principles

Consistency First, Then Intensity:

  • Movement Quality: Prioritize technique and form before increasing pace or load.
  • Build Consistency: Establish a routine you can sustain before pushing harder.
  • Increase Gradually: Add volume or intensity only when your movement quality and consistency are solid.
  • Listen to Your Body: Fatigued or sore? Dial back. Feeling good? Push harder.
