This 6-week training plan is the foundation of our Low Back Reconditioning Phase 1 program. It is designed to educate and reconditioning your low back, overall core, and performance. This plan is designed for first responders who have a history of lower back issues which limits their
training.
Education, exercise progression, and load increase
each week to allow for optimal performance and recovery. Training is 3x week: Monday Wednesday Friday.
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, & Sunday are for rest and recovery.
After a back injury, it is imperative that you place movement integrity above loading. Be mindful of your injury and never sacrifice proper technique for more weight.
Foam rolling exercises have been provided to help aid in recovery after workouts. .
