By the Numbers: A Practical Method for Instructing Constantly Varied Functional Movements Executed at High Intensity

All paperback purchased on Amazon.com include a free Kindle version via Kindle MatchBook!

Running, rowing, weightlifting, gymnastics—today’s innovative fitness programs draw from many different disciplines and combine them to create what may be termed Multimodal General Physical Preparedness (MMGPP) training. But the explosive growth in popularity of MMGPP training is sometimes problematic. Neophyte trainers can find themselves in over their heads when teaching complex skills to groups of varying ability, and athletes, lacking clear exercise progressions, may attempt movements they’re not ready for, leading to poor form and retarded progress.

That’s why I created BY THE NUMBERS. By the Numbers is a system for instructing MMGPP that emphasizes progression at every level. It builds exercises pose-by-pose, movement skill exercise-by-exercise, and tests movement skill with incremental increases in volume, load, and intensity. It’s effective whether you’re teaching yourself, or leading a class with dozens of athletes.
