VAGABOND PHASES OF TRAINING
*Each Phase of Training is not a Leveling System. One is not better than the other. Each has its own purpose and each has its own goal. As you read through each Phase of Training, you will see what we are trying to accomplish within each Phase. One is not better than the other, but each one is setup, so everyone can succeed in their own goals and aspirations. These are well thought out programs with a plan behind the workouts each day. Please do not get caught up in which one is better, and which one will be harder. If you do this, then you will find no answer, as each is set up for a reason!*
*All these Phases are different in their scheme for the short term and long term, however each phase has two common goals and purposes. To bring you Success and Fulfillment in your Athletic Journey!*
1. Lifestyle Phase
The name implies exactly what we are trying to do within this phase of training. We are trying to enhance and promote your health and fitness. Through Lifestyle Phase Workouts, you will be shown a wide variety of movements and proper mechanics. The Lifestyle Phase workouts are great for beginners as they concentrate on technique, form, consistency, rather than killing you and intensity.
However, these are just not for beginners, as these workouts can be performed by anyone, and can be very challenging for the fittest crossfitter. The Lifestyle Phase Workout are perfect for those trying to lean out and become strong.
Vagabond Breakdown: This is perfect for the person who will becoming to Vagabond between two to three times a week throughout the weekly schedule. If you are a person who does not care for competing in local CrossFit Competitions, and needs to get a balance in their life, then this is the Phase for you. In this Phase of Training, we are concentrating heavily on balancing the balance, and making it symmetrical with proper mechanics and movement. We are concentrating heavily on balancing the body through single arm, single leg, and unilateral movements. This Phase is for someone who is looking to be overall healthy, fit, and for general well being.
2. Fitness Phase
These workouts are great for those looking to improve or enhance their ability on technical movements, such as gymnastics, Olympic lifting, and plyometrics. This phase could lead into the Competition Phase for that dedicated athlete as time permits. The Fitness Phase really hones in on dynamic skills and complicated movements within Fitness and Sport. If you are looking to take your athletic ability to the next level, then this is the Phase for you.
