Hip pocket strength work for active deployments and busy schedules

Stalwart is a strength-focused program with the bare minimum of power and endurance training for maintenance.

Great for deployments or training blocks where you’re already wearing kit and moving around a lot

Best for solid runners who need more strength work, or are already doing a lot of cardio for PT

Ideal for those who don't need a lot of training volume to make progress

Use as a recovery phase from more intensive series like Absolution or Deliverance

About Stalwart
