PLT Field Individual Progressions

Just like learning anything else, to improve your fitness, you need to practice consistently at an appropriate level of challenge for yourself.  If you aren't able to do a push-up, you need to work up to it.  If  a push-up is easy for you, it doesn't do you any good to show off by doing a million - you should increase your level of challenge to grow.

The following progressions (slides and videos coming) will help you find your appropriate level of challenge for a wide range of exercises, so that you can continue pushing yourself, working hard, and growing.
  • Push-ups
  • Sit-ups
  • Squats
  • Static Holds
  • Pull-ups
