Welcome to the Beginners' Guide To Writing Workouts That Don't Suck

Welcome to the Beginners’ Guide to Writing Workouts that Don’t Suck! This course will be split into three main sections covering various concepts meant to build upon one another. The main sections of this course are: 

  • Section 1: How To Think About Workouts - Learn and consider the foundational questions and mental paradigms necessary to think about workouts in a productive way.
  • Section 2: The Fundamental Building Blocks of a Workout - The physical properties your body has: what it does, how it does those things, and the relationships between them. 
  • Section 3: Building a Workout - The practical application of our mental models from Section 1 and the toolkit we developed in Section 2. 

The tools and skills you develop in this course are agnostic to whatever type of training you’re participating in as they are universal and built on an understanding of how the body works and how we can direct that knowledge to something useful to our needs.

This course is also very specific to writing good workouts as opposed to writing long, progressive, periodized training programs. If you can’t write good, effective workouts regularly, it’s not that useful to know all the ins and outs of a full periodized, specific program.

This course also has two short bonus sections:

  • Bonus Section 1: Developing a Basic Template for Health and Fitness
  • Bonus Section 2: Writing and Adjusting Workouts for Groups

These Bonus Sections are a cursory look at two of the most common applications of writing good workouts which you and other students in the course requested. 

At the end of the course, you’ll be invited to contact me with examples of your workouts which I’m happy to provide some feedback on. My email will also be signed at the bottom of every lecture so if you have any questions or need any clarification, feel free to reach out. 

Once you’ve completed the course, I’d love to hear from you with your feedback on the content you received. My goal is to deliver a strong fundamental understanding of the ins and outs of writing good workouts and without your feedback, both positive and negative, I won’t have an answer to that question! 

Now let’s get to the good stuff, the first of our three main sections: How To Think About Workouts.
