Summary
Although endurance athletes typically focus on strength training during the off-season, it's important to recognize that strength and conditioning can benefit performance all year round.
In this episode of the Purple Patch Podcast, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon explains the value and significance of strength as a performance enhancer. He provides a framework for integrating strength into your training program and easy-to-use techniques for executing your workouts almost anywhere.
Whether you're an athlete striving to cross the IRONMAN finish line, looking to boost your energy in the boardroom, or simply aiming to improve your overall health, strength & conditioning should be a key component of your training regimen.
Matt breaks down the discussion on strength into three categories: sports performance, healthspan, and performance in work and daily life.
Matt also provides details on how to access a free video-on-demand session from our functional strength training program. This is a great opportunity to experience a practical and dynamic strength training workout that you can easily incorporate into your program.
If your goal is to show up faster, stronger, and healthier in all avenues of life, then integrating strength into your year-round program is imperative. Our hope is that the resources and methods Matt shares in this episode can help you jumpstart a strength program that works for you.
