12 Week Life Support
Matt Vincent
This is our 12 week life support program. It's a mixture of everything; breath work, movement, strength training, conditioning, and more.
This program helps best prepare you for life longterm and in shape for whatever challenges that come up along the way; 5k, 10 mile hike, powerlifitng meet. You name it. You'll only need to make small changes to this program to fixate on the goal.
This program will keep your engine and body at a high performance at all times. With 3 strength training days with finishers, 3 conditiong and movement days, and 1 fullbody recovery day.
These 12 weeks can be run on a loop indefinitely with continuous results.
