The No BS Way to Stay Fit Year-Round Without Getting Bored | 113

Ever wonder why some people consistently get stronger, faster, and fitter year after year, while others hit frustrating plateaus?

In this straight-to-the-point episode, we go into the science (without the fluff) of training cycles, breaking down macrocycles, mesocycles, and microcycles into practical, actionable strategies.

If you’re looking to stay fit without the boredom, this episode is your no-nonsense guide.

You’ll learn how I build an entire year of training that keeps motivation high, balances intensity with recovery, and aligns perfectly with fitness goals including fat loss, strength gain, or competitive performance.

We’ll cover:

✅ What macro, meso, and micro training cycles actually mean (and how to use them).

✅ The best way to plan your year around holidays, competitions, and life stress.

✅ How to structure strength, skill, and conditioning blocks that avoid burnout.

✅ Periodization styles (linear, undulating, conjugate) and who they’re best for.

✅ Real-world templates for group classes, 1:1 clients, and your own training.

Stop spinning your wheels. Master the cycle, trust the process, and gain year-round progress without the burnout.
