Hi Friend,

Happy Sunday, holiday weekend and 1st empowerment week of the year!

Phase 2 Recap

This is what I wrote to you last year and it was so true and I feel the same and even more optimistic this year for you.

" High Five for finishing P2. You're on a roll. #KeepGoing. I'm very optimistic and bullish on your year.  Buy stock in you!

I remember when got to I train college, pro and Olympic athletes. They processed so quickly and moved so well. It was very frequent that I needed to progress things. It was normal so that's what we did. Then when I started personal training I learned that people who hire trainers were just as passionate as these athletes at getting better, but I needed to make complex things simpler. That was a fun challenge for me.

Now. Collectively the current CYBBC community has been so consistent and developed such an advanced training age, that I get to keep progressing you because you can handle it. Just like with the advanced athletes back in the day, they too always had things they needed to work on to compliment everything they were good at and so do you and I still need to work on things that are unique to us, while we also reap the benefits of getting to do more of the things we're really good at.

So #KeepGoing.

Empowerment week!

If you train strength at least 1x this coming week, you get to stay with your regular cardio minutes goal. If you do no strength it's 360min for females and 250min for males. So try to get 1 strength workout in.

Here is the Phase 2 recordings folder for your convenience.

Here's the foundational Empowerment Week Plan w/ our All Time Favorite Workouts Listed if you want some variety and/or to be reminded in more detail about what to do next week. Consider using one of these EWP workouts as a reward for hitting your workouts goal for the week or as a substitute to do something fun.

Also. Consider alternating Strength workouts w/ Stretch & Cardio workouts.

Example:

M - Strength

T - Stretch & Cardio

W - Strength

Th - Stretch & Cardio

F - Strength

Sa - Bonus (Stretch & Cardio or All American Workout or Core Workout, ...)

Su - Rest Day (or Stretch & Sprint!)

Cardio Minutes - Week 3

We did 24min / workout. Please reply with your minutes now!

If you're feeling beat up, use the stretch workout videos, the stretch pdfs (45min stretch only and/or stretch & sprint), your custom corrective cardio routine, take a yoga class, get a massage and/or get physical therapy treatment.

If you're feeling good (or good enough), #keepgoing!

Either way, make your week count,

Mike
