Principles of Fitness Training Design

Posted on by rexlalic

There are lots of fitness training disciplines available in the market today. It depends on what your goal is in the area of wellness and physical fitness. I’m leaning forward to Crossfit training, according to CrossFit inc. CrossFit is a lifestyle characterized by safe, effective exercise and sound nutrition. CrossFit is a strength and conditioning workout made up of functional movement performed at a high-intensity level.

Here are five links to further understand what CrossFit is.

ASSESSMENT OF FITNESS STATUS

Muscular Strength

Muscular strength is defined as the maximum amount of power you can generate to move or lift a heavy object in a short amount of time or while performing a single movement.

Testing my one rep max of Back Squat on the above image. Building Muscular strength requires both muscular endurance and muscular power. It takes time to develop your muscular strength, and it involves a variety of movements to reach a certain peak in your strength.

I usually do a four weeks strength conditioning program and reevaluate before progressing to the second cycle.
