Conditioning Program
Week One Overview
The first week of the conditioning program is designed to begin the process with a relatively
moderate load as you are introduced to the methods and exercises. The methods used in this first week
will be Cardiac Output, Tempo Intervals and High Resistance Intervals.
Please refer the video of the Week One Program for
details on how to perform them correctly. The volumes and
intensities that you use in the first week of the program
should be dictated by your resting heart rate and current
conditioning levels.
Training Guidelines
The guidelines for the training week will depend on your current level of fitness. If you do not
use HRV, you will need to use your resting heart rate to determine which recommendations are most
appropriate for you. If you are using BioForce HRV, then use a combination of your HRV score as well as
your resting heart rate to select from the following two programs for the week.
Resting HR above 60 and/or HRV below 80- Sample Training Week
