Nate Kosberg

Designed for those who want a strong cardiovascular system with stronger muscles to match. Strength exercises designed to load your tissue and bones progressively, and running workouts tailored to increase your body’s work capacity. We typically sprint very little once we reach adulthood; this program will help to re-establish both the body and brain benefits that come from concurrent sprint/aerobic/weighlifting training. Built to maximize your time in the gym without having you there for hours on end.

RECLAIM YOUR SPEEED
Sprinting is one of the first things we stop doing as we age; can you remember the last time you blocked out time to focus on your speed? Sprinting is unique in that it provides a boost to your brain as well as your body, this eight-week block will leave both systems feeling faster.

BUILD YOUR FOUNDATIONAL STRENGTH
Increasing your lean body mass is one of the best ways to help you look and feel younger; by targeting some of the biggest muscles in the body in the legs we can work to increase the building blocks of a strong musculoskeletal system.

FAQs
What if I've always hated running?
Don't worry! The aerobic part of this can be adapted to fit the cardio of your choice; biking or swimming are great alternatives where you can still work both easy and difficult paces.
How much of a time commitment should I expect?
Most of these sessions should be under an hour besides the longer runs; the weightlifting day will probably take about an hour. This is designed to get you the maximal results without spending your whole life in the gym.
What if at the end of the eight weeks I'm not satisfied?
You are more than welcome to reach out at anytime for a full refund if you feel that the program isn't a good fit.
Why is there so much of a focus on breathing during the run workouts?
Breathing is something that our body will do whether we pay attention or not, but by focusing on controlling the breathing when the body is under stress, it is absolutely possible to make things feel easier & increase your work capacity. The more dialed in the breath can be, the harder you can work.
What if I don't have a landmine attachment or a belt squat?
No problem! The RDL can easily be done with a dumbbell/kettlebell/barbell, and the belt squat can be replaced by a Smith Machine or a regular barbell.
