Your house will Crumble without a solid foundation.

Have you ever looked at a house and thought about what's holding it up and keeping it from falling? The solid foundation is what holds it all together. Without a solid bodily foundation your house (BODY) will eventually begin to crumble and break down if you do not start by strengthening and stabilizing the 3 most pivotal areas of our bodies first ;Hips, Core, Shoulders.

Get rid of cardio and plodding workouts "ESD"

"ESD" Long distance running isn't in the plan unless I'm coaching am endurance athlete. Conditioning should be based on the the need of the athlete pertaining to the sport played. I condition on strength days as well as movement days, this improves muscle condition and lung capacity. To keep it simple: instead of running slow, and slow paced workouts "ESD" will have your muscles and nervous system collectively working together creating efficient movement patterns that help your body work as efficient as possible.
