What The Best Training Program should Include?

With 40 years of designing the most efficient exercises and best training programs for World Class athletes, Bill Nurge shares some secrets to getting super fit…

If Exercise was a Pill, what would you want it to do? Over the past 4 decades in the fitness trenches, here are the 3 answers—and not in any particular order—I’ve heard the most:
1. LOOK BETTER/Lose Weight/Tone Up/Build Muscle
 
2. FEEL BETTER/More Energy/Less Stiff/Sharper Brain
 
3. FUNCTION BETTER/Improve Balance, Uptick Coordination, Increase Performance
 
As much as I LOVE SCIENCE, it’s a good thing—for MANY reasons– fitness can’t fit in a pill…

Aside from checking all the boxes for what you want, there’s simply no substitute for the exertional sweat, and “fight or flight” struggle that happens from HIGH QUALITY TIME in the HardCore Pain Cave.

Best Training Program will make you Look, Feel and Function better

Need one more reason to train at HardCore???

Use It, or Lose it!!! Muscle loss—a.k.a. Sarcopenia—is what Aging does to bodies. It’s also what happens at extreme altitude!
 
Based on scientific studies, it was abundantly clear that in order for Mark to WIN at conquering 29,035 ft Everest, he would have to LOSE ~20% of his muscle mass :(((

Read the whole interview with former NFL Player Mark Pattison, who recently scaled Mt Everest and barely lived to tell the story

So in 4 short months of HardCore Training, we packed Mark’s 59 year old body chock full of lean powerful muscles knowing full well that 7 weeks on Everest would burn off big chunks of his built-to-last physique (image on right in Katmandu after summiting Mt. Everest).

Sure enough, in less than two months of breathing air that had 30-50% less 02, Mark’s HANGRY mitochondria cannibalized 17 lbs of his own muscle tissue. He also lost strength, mobility, high-end stamina, and energy/mojo.

hungry mitochondria cannibalized 17 lbs of his own muscle tissue.

What happened to Mark, is no different than what happens to ALL aging bodies:

A progressive and insidious loss of muscle mass (an 80 year old body typically has half the muscle of it’s 20 year old iteration) which is accompanied by a decrease in bone-density, metabolic rate, and functional capacity.
Sarcopenia, a progressive and insidious loss of muscle mass (an 80 year old body typically has half the muscle of it’s 20 year old iteration) which is accompanied by a decrease in bone-density, metabolic rate, and functional capacity.

Thankfully our uniquely effective HardCore Training program not only reverses the deleterious consequences of aging and Everest, but rebuilds bodies better than they were 3 decades ago.

Here is ONE of the reasons why we have the Best Training Programs at HardCore Training Center...

How do we BUILD MUSCLE without weights, AND BURN MAXIMUM CALORIES:

1. We hit all 3 Drivers of muscle tone/hypertrophy simultaneously: Time under Tension, Time under Metabolic Stress, Time under Mechanical Stress
 
 
2. We leverage elastic Resistance, which is 3x more effective than weights for improving muscle density, mobility, and power.
 
 
3. We constantly work all of your “slow twitch”/fat-burning muscle fibers, while selectively targeting & overloading your “fast-twitch”/strength fibers

Whenever possible, make every exercise an opportunity to train your Core Engine to produce, transfer, and manage rotational power.
