Introduction to the StrengthErg (4 Weeks)

Objective: Familiarize yourself with the StrengthErg, develop proper form, and build a foundation of strength and confidence.

Note: Establish Benchmarks before beginning training plan. Use these to guide your progress and to retest at the end of training cycle.Each workout should be repeated at least 3 times per week. The concentric loading of the StrengthErg reduces muscle soreness and accelerates recovery, allowing you to train more frequently without overtraining. Begin every session with light cardio as a warm-up and finish with stretching as a cooldown.
