Ok, here I go. Let’s get this show on the road! The first training phase is Integrated Stabilization Training. I performed this workout on Thursday 9/23/10. This was the first of 4 weeks of IST training. Over the next 4 weeks, I will not change the content of the workout, but I will strive to increase my weight and reps.
The goal of this workout is to build a fitness foundation by challenging balance and muscle endurance. As the name of the phase implies, I am incorporating stabilization into traditional strength training exercises. For example, I am performing a dumbbell chest press on a stability ball. It’s not just the weight in my hands that makes the execise difficult. It’s the fact that I have to control my body on the ball!
