Moderate Intensity Conditioning (RPE 7-8)

Moderate Intensity Conditioning (RPE 7-8)

Moderate intensity cardio classes for those times when you need a short strength+cardio blend, or to raise your heart rate on days between Bells Up program classes.

Each conditioning class is programmed by level, time frame and based on ballistic movements (think cleans, swings, snatches and more). We'll always share the intended stimulus of each session in the class description section, as well as provide a full written program so you know exactly what you're getting. Classes can be repeated multiple times, in no particular order, with fresh sets added monthly.

Intermediate Level Key Movements: single arm swings, double cleans, two hand swings, push presses, optional low rep snatches and bodyweight movements with optional jumping.

Advanced Level Key Movements: a full range of ballistics, including but not limited to double swings, double push presses, snatches, double snatches and bodyweight movements with jumping.

A sample week combined with Bells Up TV classes could look like this:
Monday: Bells Up TV program class
Tuesday: 30 minute conditioning class
Wednesday: Bells Up TV program class
Thursday: 20 minute conditioning class
Friday: Bells Up TV program class
Saturday: optional 10, 20 or 30 minute conditioning class
Sunday: rest
