Week 2: Functional Strength Training
What
- Integrate functional strength training exercises such as deadlifts, kettlebell swings, and pull-ups.
- Success Principles: Prioritize compound movements, use proper technique, and progressively increase resistance.
WHY

- Without it, you may lack the necessary strength and stamina for challenging adventures.
How
- Schedule 3 strength sessions this week: Day 1 – deadlifts and kettlebell swings, Day 3 – pull-ups and push-ups, Day 5 – a combination of all.
- Use moderate weights and focus on controlled movements.
