🤩 Weekly Newsletter & the Chase Club

We’re discussing what it means to get in the best shape of your life. We take a comprehensive approach to physical fitness, emphasizing the importance of strength training, cardiovascular endurance, and bodyweight exercises.

We break down a practical weekly training framework that includes three days of compound free-weight exercises, one long run, and mixed-modal conditioning.

Finally, we highlight the benefits of incorporating functional movement into your routine, such as carrying and moving heavy objects, and clarify the distinction between general fitness and elite athletic training.
