EDD and AAP - Learn about our Digital Programs
THESE DIGITAL PROGRAMS FOR STAY AT HOME ARE STRUCTURED A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY THAN TEAM & STRENGTH. HERE'S WHY
Our regular Team & Strength programs are 4 weeks long. The EDD and AAP are 2 weeks long. Why the change-up? We want to be able to provide you with greater variation in what can be an otherwise monotonous quarantine experience.
That being said, progression is a key element of all of our programming at Allegiate. Although we can't "go up in weight" necessarily because of equipment limitations, we can still drive progression in different ways.
EDD and AAP address that progression slightly differently, so let's talk about each program specifically.
1) The Every Damn Day Program:
Required Equipment: a kettlebell or dumbbell
Designed to be done every day, the theme of this style of training is "Grooving the Pattern."
Though the workouts might seem repetitive, Grooving The Pattern means you'll do the same movements a lot – so you get good at them.
When equipment is limited, this program design is the perfect solution. By grooving the pattern – getting a ton of reps on certain exercises – you're going to significantly improve in a focused area.
Rather than just be so/so across a random assortment of movements.
2) The Anywhere Program:
No equipment required.
Designed to be done every day and with no equipment. We added a ton of bodyweight strength training exercises to this.
You will get a great strength training workout if you do this program.
USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE YOUR MOBILITY.
It's absolutely OK not to "break a sweat" and focus on your range of motion. It's a little counter intuitive at first, but trust us: mobility is one of the greatest investments you can make in your fitness.
If you have no equipment at home, give the Anywhere Program a try for a week. #shredded
HOW SHOULD YOU DO THE PROGRAMS AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU TRAIN?
If you don’t have equipment, do the Allegiate Anywhere Program 3 - 5 days a week. Go with what feels good to you and what you think you need.
If you have equipment, you have more options. Go as many days as you feel you need. But a good rule of thumb is 3-5 days a week, depending on how heavy your weights are.
