Spider is designed to support members of land based element with at least 1 year of consistent training. *Note the program begins the Monday following purchase. Weeks 1-6: 6 training sessions/week. Circuit style training with time flexibility in mind. Main complexes are to be split between what ever time you have available that day ie. if you have 45 minutes remaining after your warm-up, complex 1 and 2 will be split 20 minutes each with a 5 minute recovery period at the end. Circuit days alternate with cardiovascular focused training, mobility, or maintenance aimed at addressing the common injuries in these occupations. Weeks 7-12: 6 training sessions/week. More structured training sessions that focus on strengthening movement patterns, build both muscular strength and cardiovascular endurance. Running is introduced in circuits and trickles into the weekly cycles. Weeks 13-18: 6 training days/week with a few double-up days (still understanding the time demands of the job, the time load on those days shouldn't be more than 90 minutes of training total). Introducing power within the strength and conditioning sessions, running continues to increase GRADUALLY. Mobility and movement patterns are still a priority.
