What you'll need

What you'll need (transcription):

Johnny and I teamed up to create an effective and specialized program focusing on stability, strength, and mobility. By the end of this course you will cultivate physical resilience through curated movement exploration. 

This program has 8 levels consisting of 2-3 lessons each and is designed to be added to your current regimen, or if you’re just starting out, this will be a strong and functional foundation for your fitness career. There is very little equipment required for the exercises in each level, but it is recommended that you at least have an open space, two medium weights, a step, and a swiss ball/sliders.


Equipment used:

  1. Swiss Ball/Sliders

    These will be used mainly for training the tensile strength of your muscles and allowing for full ROM (range of motion) without putting your body under additional external strain. For example, the Hamstring Curl usually involves weights or a machine, but with a Swiss Ball/Sliders, we can simply use our bodyweight. That might sound easy, but with proper form, this one will put you through the wringer (and improve your knee stability!)

  2. Dumbbells


    Resistance Training is good for everyone regardless of sport/discipline and even for non-athletes. Putting your skeletal-muscular system under [appropriate] strain is important for more reasons than I'll list here, but some benefits are:
    -Reduced risk of injury
    -Increased bone density
    -Better body composition (weight management)
    Having access to a set of weights will be crucial for many of the exercises throughout this program, and getting used to using free weights will help you along other paths on your fitness jounrey.

  3. Step/Box


    This one is probably most versatile piece of equipment on the list, so I do recommend getting a nice variable-heihgt step like the one pictured above, but also... it's basically just a box, you could use a bench, stairs, a chair, some cargo palettes, or whatever else you have lying around. You'll see Sam in all kinds of different environments with access to different kinds of equipment in the exercise videos, and he still manages fine with whatever is around.

  4. Open Space


    If you've got access to a nice gym, great! You've got everything you need, I just recommend going during non-peak hours so you can have space to move around and be weird.


    If you've found yourself in the Windows XP background, also great! You've got all the space you need, just make sure to bring what you need with you, and maybe a little picnic blanket for after.


    And if you're like pandemic-era F808Z and have found yourself a nice parking structure, nice! If it works, it works.
