Plan Description

This is a 28-day plan to increase your aerobic engine, build muscular strength, and energize your metabolism.  This plan uses Body Weight Resistance Training. This is the Level 1 plan of a three-part series. I recommend completing level 1 before attempting the other two.


WARNING This is a HARD 28-Day Challenge WARNING


Please allocate about 1 hour per workout.  You will get faster each day.  Every exercise uses industry-standard naming, so if you do not know what an exercise consists of, it is easy to look on YouTube and find an example.  


Must-Have Equipment





    • Exercise Shoes (yes, anything will do)

    • Stopwatch or timer




Useful Equipment





    • towel  

    • pull-up / chin-up bar

    • water bottle

    • foam roller




I have gone back and forth on whether or not to list the chin-up/pull-up bar as a Must-Have piece of equipment.  If you want the most out of this program, I would say it is, but you can use alternate movements to replace those if you do not have it.


Again, without a pull-up or chin-up bar, google pull-up alternative no equipment and pick the exercise to substitute


Hey, did I mention it?  WARNING This is a HARD 28-Day Challenge WARNING

Achieving success is a common goal, although the definition and its path are as varied as opinions of the best tire pressure to use during a muddy, wintery cyclocross race. While Feed Zone cookies may be a great recovery food after a race, a cookie cutter approach is something you will not experience with us.

Chuck combines lessons learned from years of racing with the most recent innovations in exercise science literature to craft training plans and programs that deliver measurable results.
