Start slow and simple!
Too many people jump into extreme programs chasing dramatic results, which increases their risk of injury and the likelihood that they quit. Instead, focus long-term. Build a basic healthy lifestyle where physical activity of any kind is a regular part of your life. Once that base is built, you can increase intensity and complexity.
We treat every athlete at Raincity Athletics exactly like that… AS AN ATHLETE. Whether they're a pro or it's their first time off the couch, the same basic principles of periodization and preparation apply.
