Saturday Strength - GPP Week 3
General Physical Preparedness (GPP)
•
57m
Building on the fundamentals and skill development of the past two weeks we'll progress things into the frontal plane in this class. That means looking to develop those muscles that provide stability as we move forward and also help us move side to side. We'll continue the progress with a more dynamic approach, which means less isometric holds, more action and higher heart rates.
EQUIPMENT:
- A Mat.
- A Yoga Block.
- A Thick Book or Two (ideally large enough to fit both feet).
- Some Wall Space.
- Two Light to Medium Weight Dumbbells/Kettlebells.
- A Chair or Stool.
- An Exercise or Thera Band.

Saturday Strength - GPP Week 4
Week 4 see's us returning to our hinge and pulling patterns whilst thoroughly integrating those frontal plane mechanics we begun working on last week. Again we'll continue with the more dynamic action to ensure we'll building strength through the full range of motion whilst also providing an oppo...

Saturday Strength - GPP Week 5
This week we move into the 3rd phase of our GPP and this see's us starting to load the tissues and exercises with more of an eccentric focus. This simply means we slow down the phase where the target tissues are lengthening under load. This is a great way to keep the strength gains progressing as...

Saturday Strength - GPP Week 6
In week 6 we continue the eccentric loading phase of our programme. That means slower movements again but this week with a focus on the hip hinge and pulling patterns. Again we're adding some rotational elements in to these movements as well. This will set us nicely for the final two weeks where ...
