The Workout that Worked Wonders - What’s Next? — The Baby Boomer Fitness Authority

I just received this email from a subscriber referring to “The Workout that Worked Wonders,” the free report on how to design your own fitness program you get for free just for signing up for my newsletter. (See the form in the upper right corner?)

Hi Stephen:
I have been following 3-4-5 for a number of months and would like to vary (add) to the routine…I have searched for additional exercises YOU recommend to add but have come up empty handed. I was hoping you could suggest a few to add/replace.

Funny you should ask. I just signed up for a coaching program with my old friend Ryan Lee who has turned himself into an absolute Internet superstar in the past few years.

I also recently attended a seminar by another friend, Craig Ballantyne (who I met, coincidentally, through Ryan) of Turbulence Training fame.

So, apparently, I’m next in line in when it comes to becoming a fitness information products superstar

The short term plan is to release the 3-4-5 Fitness Training Exercise Selection Grid I use with my small-group training classes.

You see, the program “design” in the typical fitness boot camp is whatever makes the participants sweat and complain a lot.

As you read in the free report, my system uses scientifically-based exercise selection. In the 3-4-5 Grid, however, in addition to the 5 Fundamental Movement Patterns, we add:

Core Dominant
Ground Impact
Vertical Push
Horizontal Pull
Rotator Cuff Dominant, and
(optional) Arm Dominant exercises

Although creative and thoughtful personal fitness trainers can cover all ten points with just a handful of exercises, the 3-4-5 Fitness Training Exercise Selection Grid gives you 10-12 exercises per workout - which is just enough mental and physical stimulus to keep most experienced exercisers both happy and effective.

If you’re interested in more info, just leave a comment below. Thanks.
