Programming Fe Style
Creating and executing an effective exercise program is truly a skill. At The Fitness Ethic, the secret to our fitness programs is our exercises are adaptable. Adaptable in our fitness world means most of our routines can be modified to fit almost any fitness level or goal. To be honest, this is the trademark of a good fitness program, but often is forgotten.
We believe most fitness goals can fall into 3 categories: Weight Loss (Beginner), Strength (Intermediate), and Performance (advance). Often, we find that fitness levels can be interchangeable with our clients goals. We all have to learn to walk before we can run. However, sometimes you will encounter clients that have a higher skill level than their goals allude to. You may be saying to yourself, “This seems complicated and unfeasible.” Trust us it is simple because our fitness programs are adaptable. One of our favorite words is modification.
How To Break Down Your Routine
First, you modify the movement to the appropriate fitness level. For example, the first move of the series is designed to be a cardio lower body move, so we choose Squat Jump. Squat jump can be modified to the following:
Beginner: Triple Extension Squat Body Weight
Intermediate: Squat Jump
Advance: Squat Jump with weight.
Secondly, you further customize the workout by modifying the following 3 variables:
Weight: the load the athlete is under
Tempo: the pace the athlete is expected to perform
Time: the duration of the move and rest
Exercise Example
Below is an example of how we would adapt the squat jump for a client that has a goal of weight loss, but is an intermediate fitness level.
| Goal | Fitness Level | Weight | Tempo | Time |
| Weight Loss | Intermediate | Body Weight | 1 jump/sec | 30 sec on / 10 sec off |
