Train Faster - Age Better: Implementing Speed and Power
This workshop will examine the power-driven pathway to age-associated disability. In addition, this workshop will dive deep into what speed and power exercises are best for efficacy and safety, along with how to program speed and power in a single session and weekly. Paul will also cover super safe and effective plyometrics that anyone can do to elicit that springy response in the lower extremities.
Objectives:
1. Attendees will learn why speed and power are important and how they improve physical performance as we age.
2. Attendees will get practical experience on how to implement speed and power using only body weight.
3. Attendees will learn how to implement speed and power into their training programs.
