Lee’s Methodology

Progressive Workout Model

In Lee’s professional training experience he’s found the key culprit in exercise burn-out to be too hard, too much, too often, and too fast.

His planning process is a methodical, scientific procedure to help people achieve high levels of fitness and longevity, for good reason:  It is the single most important tool a Personal Trainer has in conducting a well-organized training program.  A personal trainer is only as efficient as his or her organization skills.

Lee’s organized, planned training program eliminates the random, aimless approach still used by many personal trainers.  His well-structured plan provides:

• Guidance
• Direction
• And scope to accomplish the determined goal.

Good planning removes any relevance from those who still proclaim no pain, no gain and intensity all the way.  Replace such claims with intelligent training. Why? Because Lee’s fitness planning uses applied science to construct a training program!  In training nothing happens by accident, but by design.

In training you don’t plan work, you plan the physiological reaction to the training plan.  You should not be concerned with what you plan for today or tomorrow.  Rather, the point is to understand the body’s reaction to that plan.  Will the person be maximally challenged and be in a state of fatigue?  Will he or she replenish the energy sources and for the next training session?  View the process of planning as a medium for manipulating the client’s training, according to the specifics of the goal, to reach the desired goal.

Lee’s programs have a high level of professional expertise, and experience, ensuring effective training. His plan’s reflect methodical conclusions and knowledge in all areas of physical education.  It considers the persons potential and rate of development, the facilities and equipment available.  The training plan is objectively based on the person’s performance in tests or competitions, progress in all training factors (muscular strength, muscular endurance, body composition, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility, although there are other subsets like power, skill, and speed), and considers the annual training schedule.  Lee’s training plans are:

• Simple
• Suggestive
• Flexible

Thus ensuring that Lee can modify it according to the person’s rate of progress, while considering emerging sports science.
