Share What’s the old saying? “A rolling stone gathers no moss”? Maintaining general fitness is not easy, especially for those who usually work sitting down. Our Stay Fit training program is the perfect way to maintain fitness and vitality, with a special training program designed precisely for that purpose.
The following are important parts of the Stay Fit training program:
- Holistic training for well-balanced strength: full-body training means training all muscle groups as equally as possible. The goal is to prevent muscular imbalances or to even out muscular imbalances already present in the body.
- Slowly increased intensity of strength training: to begin, strength endurance training is used to activate the muscles and tendons and limber up the joints. The intensity is then slowly ramped up as the program continues.
- Endurance training to improve the cardiovascular system: you have to train more than just your muscles – the cardiovascular system is also incredibly important for your health. Targeted endurance training keeps your heart, lungs, and blood vessels healthy and significantly reduces the risk of illness.
Classic training programs designed to improve overall fitness usually recommend strength-endurance training (20 repetitions and 3–6 sets), and then a separate endurance training session. However, this takes a lot of time and doesn’t provide effective variations in training stimuli.
We offer a modern training approach with innovative periodization and methods: circuit training.
The circuit promotes uniform muscle growth while also optimizing the cardiovascular system.
In addition, we at EGYM divide our training programs into phases that build on one another (periodization), in order to ensure the optimal training stimulus at exactly the right time, depending on your progress. This allows you to slowly, systematically increase training intensity. Each phase begins by measuring your strength, in order to continuously adjust the training weight to your individual needs.
The four phases of the Stay Fit Training Program
Phase | Method | Reptitions | % of max strength | Duration (s) | Intensity | Tempo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Phase 1 | Classic | 20 | 44 | 70 | low | moderate |
Phase 2 | Classic | 15 | 53 | 60 | moderate | moderate |
Phase 3 | Classic | 12 | 61 | 48 | moderate to high | moderate |
Phase 4 | Classic | 10 | 68% / 79% | 40 | high | moderate |
