I created Nxt Gen Cardio leveraging what I've learned and am learning in my own training.

You should expect amazing programming, education, and coaching that helps you reach and exceed your fitness goals.

In each training block, you'll build an engine that will serve as the foundation of your fitness. Whether you're competing, or simply pushing yourself past what was previouslyh possible, you're in the right place.

You'll get 4 days a week of progressive overload.

We'll leverage the Echo Bike, Concept 2 Rowers, and Ski Erg Machines.

There will be running progressions, light load barbell cycling, and bodyweight movements.

You'll aslso need access to light/moderate KBs/Dbs.

Each session will ask for 75-90 minutes of your time.

We will run each session like this:

1)Warm-up or task specific activations

2)Main Workout (1 or 2 pieces)

3)Cool Down

If you want to...

Dominate all things in the cardio vascular domain in the functional fitness space... Build a better engine for workouts with longer aerobic time domains (5-20 minutes)... Deliver bigger and more efficient “burst” in short-time domain workouts. (1-5 mins) Leverage Power Output and maximum threshold with more body weight and machine-style movements Have absolute confidence in your ability to pace for yourself as an athlete.

YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

Lets get working, and I'll see you in the app!
