More member milestones to come! And now for our April programming breakdown.
Increase Your Strength: Bodybuilding Focus
In April we have some Bodybuilding in our training to emphasize muscle growth and strength through rep ranges of 8 to 12. We will incorporate tempo lifting to ensure maximum efficiency and effectiveness. Accessory lifts and bodybuilding complement the main strength components, adding depth and diversity to your regimen.
Breathe In, Breathe Out
This month, we embrace longer conditioning workouts focusing on breathing rather than muscular intensity. Prepare for running and workouts that push your limits and enhance your cardiovascular capacity!
Strength Progression: Front Squat
Our progression throughout April shines a spotlight on the Front Squat. Each week, we’ll progressively move from 8 reps down to 3, culminating in our Front Squat assessment in Week Four. Coupled with this is our commitment to improving front rack mobility in the extra credit, ensuring you’re gaining strength and enhancing your flexibility.
Dumbbell Virtuosity: Mastering Unilateral Movements
Dumbbells take center stage in our Virtuosity theme. Dumbbells are great for fixing strength imbalances side to side but also offer a great change from the barbell. Get ready for an array of dumbbell-centric workouts, including man-makers and devil presses, that will test your balance, strength, and coordination in new and challenging ways.
Fun: CrossFit Games & Open Workouts
April won’t be all work and no play. Our Fun workouts are inspired by CrossFit Games and Open metcons and partner workouts offering you a chance to test your fitness in a competitive yet supportive environment. With Level Method these workouts become much more effective for those not competing in CrossFit. All the gains with none of the injuries.
Assess, Adjust, Achieve
Our assessments this month will be Front Squats, Kettlebells, and Running. By evaluating your performance in these areas, we can celebrate progress, identify strengths, and areas for improvement. This allows us to guide your fitness journey with precision.
Extra Credit: Beyond the Basics
Embrace extra credit opportunities focused on durability to enhance your Front Squat progressions and reduce injuries, Kettlebell and Running for leveling up, and Mobility for an overall boost. Oftentimes the day you do the extra credit doesn’t matter but we definitely recommend doing it if you have a few extra minutes after class each day.
With a blend of strength, bodybuilding, cardio heavy breathing workouts, and challenging assessments, there’s something for everyone at One Life.
Remember, discipline and consistency are key. Schedule your workouts, prioritize rest and recovery, and don't forget to have fun!
