12 WEEK TRAINING PROGRAM
SUSPENSION TRAINING

LET’S START A NEW TRAINING PROGRAM
Life is filled with commitments. You may be occupied with commitments to your
family, to your friends, or to your business. These pressures together tend to
throw one’s focus off their fitness game. I know this is the case for me at least.
After all, you are human. Having alcoholic drinks and eating fatty foods with
friends is a frequent form of social interaction. By purchasing your TrainLikeHell
Suspension Trainer you have granted yourself a fitness hall pass to hit the training
hard.
This time, things are going to be different. Sure, you will still enjoy a few
beverages out with your friends, and spend time with your family. But by
following this progressive, 12 week training plan, you will get stronger and fitter.
On the days that you’re not doing Suspension Training, the 12 week training plan
calls for aerobic activity like jogging. This program is designed for 3 suspension
training workouts a week. This will allow you time to rest, and is a realistic
program to get the results you require.
Follow the Plan and start achieving a new level of strength, endurance, mobility
and overall health (and don’t forget to visit our Facebook page to let us know how
it is going).
Sincerely,
TrainLikeHell xx
