Warrior’s Workout: Place in First Spartan Race
Jason Is Using EMS For Training – Is This The End Of Free Weights?
The Warrior’s Workout Plan
The Nemesis: THE SPARTAN RACE
This workout is formulated specially for Jason and his performance goals. As a model and actor in Los Angeles, our Warrior is used to training for any and all roles. But when it comes to athletic performance training, he is prepared to take it to a whole new level to achieve the results he’s after. And his quest is no short order – he plans to place in his first ever Spartan Race. While he incorporates weight training into his routine three days per week to maintain his lean muscle mass, he also adds in lots of cardio-based exercise to increase his endurance, including a bootcamp class and plyometrics. Most importantly, however, Jason makes sure to plan for recovery because of his intense training schedule, adding in stretching, foam rolling, and yoga to his routine.
