Adult Strength for Endurance Athletes


The Adult Strength for Endurance Athletes program will primarily focus on building a solid base for nordic skiing, running, and other endurance sports by utilizing body weight movements, barbells, free weights, and plyometrics.

This will be a beneficial course to improve your overall performance for endurance sports, whether you are new to strength or have been doing it for years.
