In this episode of The One Life PT Podcast, I’m talking directly to my group class gym members about some exciting updates to our programming. I’ve taken back the reins on writing the program, and I’m thrilled to share what’s new!

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

• The new workout structure and how it’s designed for well-rounded strength and fitness
• Why there are no absolutes in fitness, other than the fact that consistency is king
• The importance of core and carry strength for improving overall strength and function
• Why unilateral movements often outperform bilateral movements for strength and stability
• A breakdown of the new strength template:
• Day 1: Squat/Lunge/Step
• Day 2: Upper Body Push
• Day 3: Core Strength
• Day 4: Hinge/Deadlift
• Day 5: Upper Body Pull
• Day 6: Core Strength
• Day 7: Carry Strength

Takeaways:

1. Consistency is key – Whether your goal is to get stronger or fitter, showing up regularly is the most important factor.
2. 7-day programming – A focused structure allows us to hit all major movement patterns throughout the week.
3. Core strength and carries matter – A strong core and the ability to carry weight improve total-body function and performance.
4. Unilateral movements > Bilateral movements – Unilateral exercises challenge balance, stability, and overall strength in ways that bilateral movements can’t.
5. No absolutes in fitness – There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, but sticking to the basics and staying consistent leads to success.
