Holistic Cross-Training
Written by Kyle Ligon - MovementLink.FIT Head Coach
For our purposes, instead of targeting a specific sport, we identified the areas that would maximally benefit our lives right now, and at anytime in our future:
Mobility/Balance,
Speed/Power,
Strength/Muscle,
Lactate Thresholds/VO2 Max, and
Endurance/Stamina.
Like I’ve talked about in previous articles, these performance metrics, each of which would add potential opportunities to our lives, are also the same physical metrics that predict how long someone will live, the quality of their life, and if/when someone will go into a nursing home. Because of this, we can choose methods that targeting short-term and long-term results simultaneously. Read more - The Best Short Game is the Long Game.
The MovementLink Method took the core programs that would specialize in each of these areas and organized the MovementLink Weekly Plan to include as many options as possible for people to get adequate exposure to these areas by attending on average 3-5, 1-hour classes per week (Read More: How Much Exercise is Enough?). Even if you’re just following the MovementLink Methods on your own, hopefully taking a look at our workout day types will help you get an idea of how to customize a workout program to fit your goals.
