BE DYNAMIC
A rolling stone gathers no moss…and an athlete doesn’t stay still.
On top of the movement that we include in our programs (hello Farmer’s Carries), we also want you to spend plenty of time moving outside of the gym. Whether it’s achieving a daily step goal, or just setting good habits by walking with your dogs or kids, getting up and moving has a massive impact on your ability to recover from training.
Increasing activity outside of the gym will promote blood flow to all of your sore muscles, elevate your heart rate, and help improve digestion.
Make sure you are moving your body daily and getting your heart rate up. We make sure to include plenty of movement in our programs to keep you from becoming the Tin Man.
Why do you need to be conditioned?
- Recover from your hard sets faster = better training
- Get leaner easier with higher NEAT
- Feel more energized!
our favorite ways to increase your daily activity and be dynamic:
- Daily walks outside - bonus sunlight exposure!
- 10 minute walks after meals - improve your digestion and insulin resistance
- Take the stairs
- Park at the back of a parking lot
- Morning or evening stretching - take 10 minutes and complete a daily stretching routine on areas that are chronically tight on you.
How Look Strong Naked keeps you Dynamic:
We use Dynamic Warmups to help you wake up and get ready to train
We break up the training week with a Conditioning Day for a reason - move and recover!
Dynamic movements within our programs keep you moving like an athlete
We love using super sets and circuits for the added conditioning stimulus on top of the hypertrophic response
Some of our favorite ways to train conditioning
- Prowler/Sled done fast or slow
- Assault Bike
- Circuits
- Sled
- Sledgehammer Swings
Want to get some movement in now? here are 3 LSN conditioning pieces you can add to your workout TODay!
1. Embrace the suck with the “Sledway to Heaven”
Simply grab a sled or prowler. Start with 1-2 plates and push 100ft. Add a plate every 100ft until you see Jesus! Rest minimally.
See your coaches embrace the suck here.. We have utilized this sled progressing in LSN Elite!
2 . Push yourself with a lsn circuit
Choose 3-4 exercises to run through in a row with little rest. The exercise selection should stay away from heavy strength movements and focus on things like pull-ups, push-ups, goblet squats, KB swings, and cardio equipment.
Try this conditioning circuit straight from “The Standard” program.
3. go for emom style
EMOM = Every minute on the minute and is an interval style of training where you perform a specific exercise on every minute for a certain amount of reps, then rest for the remainder of the minute.
Try this conditioning EMOM straight from “The Standard” program.
4. Keep it simple with tabata
Traditional Tabata protocol is 20s hard work followed by 10s rest. You repeat this for 8 rounds (totaling 4 minutes). The goal here is to push maximally for those 20s!
You can always start with less rounds or progress the number of rounds as you get more fit. Choose any piece of cardio equipment! We prefer the assault bike, ski erg, rower, or even kettlebell swings.
Try this Tabata that we often utilize in LSN ELITE!
At the end of the day you don’t need to overcomplicate it, just move more and make a daily habit of it. Your body will thank you.
