WORK CAPACITY was created for people who want to perform in life. With this program you will develop muscular strength and high-caliber conditioning without the advanced skill required in many other functional fitness programs. You will find the strength programming is based on scientific principles and the conditioning is a balanced combination of calisthenics, weightlifting, endurance, and speed.
This isn't for professional exercisers, this is for the everyday athlete. Workouts often take less than an hour and will be highly intense, efficient, and effective.
