How to get the best outcome of the program? Perform 3 primal workouts per week (1 hour) with adequate rest between sessions.
For hypertrophy and bulking, add 2 heavy weight training sessions per week.
For mobility, add 2 stretching sessions per week.
For fat loss, add 3 long walks (3-5 miles each) per week.
What do I need to participate in this program? Primal Movement training sessions are “minimalist-style” by design. These sessions can be trained at home, the gym, or outdoors.
Suggested equipment:
*large mat or comfortable open space
*a light to medium resistance band
*a hanging bar
*a moderately heavy weight - kettlebell, dumbbell or sandbag.
How to schedule the program into a week? Here is a sample weekly workout schedule:
*Monday: Primal Movement session 1
*Tuesday: Weight Circuit & Mobility
*Wednesday: Primal Movement session 2
*Thursday: Weight Circuit & Mobility
*Friday: WALK 3 miles
*Saturday: Primal Movement session 3
*Sunday: REST
Who are these workouts for (skill-level)? These are intermediate-to-advanced level workouts. Workouts can be modified, but some experience with mixed movement / functional training is recommended bc the classes move at a faster pace.
Those new to mixed movement training are encouraged to spend time with Daily Dose or Free Mover Mobility classes. These programs will help build greater familiarity with basic movements.
How can I track my improvement? This series is part of a larger training philosophy of primal or natural movement.
Progress is measured in skill, movement quality, and ability to move in the environment. Traditional measures of progress like more reps / more weight are secondary.
In the description, you’ll find key performance markers for some of the skills in the workouts. These short challenges will often have you test your competence through challenges in your environment.
