The ATHL8 Training Program was built with the busy professional in mind. If you need quick, efficient and sustainable workouts that can be done in 30 minutes or less with minimal equipment and you're ready to earn your fitness, this is for you!

Why is it called ATHL8? Because I believe that we are all athletes in life and we all have so much more potential than we tap into. The "8" is for the virtues I believe provide us the best path to achieve our true potential, these include: discipline, commitment, grit, consistency, growth mindedness, coachability, resilience and confidence.

This program is designed to provide programming that will challenge you, not allow for excuses and help you uncover that inner ATHL8 while accelerating your physical and mental transformation.

Oh and one last thing...I do these workouts too, I'm busy with a corporate career, dad, husband, don't feel like working out some days and not just programming behind a computer. We're in this together!

Let's go!

Repeat 3 cycles of the above, rest 1 minute in between :10 high knees :10 butt kicks ;10 step back lunges :10 side lunge :10 jumping squats Then perform: 3 cycles of the following in a continuous fashion, no rest in between. 10 arm circles forward 10 arm circles backward 10 down ups

Circuit

Barbell Bench Press (sub dumbbell's or chest press machine) 2. Barbell Bicep Curls Rest as needed Part B) 10 minute clock Rotate through the movements in an alternating fashion to accumulate as many repetitions as possible. 1. Bent Over Rows 2. Lying Tricep Extension Select a weight that would be your 10 repetition maximum for each movement and use that for the sets. Start your sets at 5 repetitions and maintain the 5's as long as you can, it's ok if you start to get 4,3,2 as you get to the later sets. You'll record your total repetitions for each movement so you have that for next week. When you are able to get at least 40 repetitions for the movement in the 10 minute window then we will increase the next week so it's ok if this week is a little light to get a baseline for the weeks to come. The goal is to add 5-10 pounds once you reach the 40 repetition threshold. Part C) 10 minute Clock Every Minute On The Minute (EMOM) - Do both movements in each minute. Rest with remaining time. 10 Hand Release Push-ups 15 Sit-ups
