The foundation every other program stands on.
Base Camp is where you build a body that can handle real training. Over 8 weeks you’ll strengthen your knees, hips and back with controlled tempo lifting (4 seconds down, 4 seconds up). That builds joint control and strength without beating you up. You’ll also build an aerobic engine using heart-rate zone conditioning, which helps you recover between points and between matches.
In Month 2 the exercises become more athletic and you get your first taste of speed work.
Who it’s for: players over 40 who are new to lifting or returning after time off. No experience needed.
You’ll finish with: a measurable strength base, a better heart-rate recovery, and the movement quality to move up to Performance Engine.
