The Flexibile Periodization Method Program Design Specialist - Fitness
Faster Results Through Holistic, Individualized and Periodized Training Programs
Do you work with fitness clients whose primary goal
is to lose fat, build muscle, or overall health?
I have only been training clients for a year and this course opened my mind to things that I had never thought of before. Karsten has all the knowledge needed to ensure that those he teaches help their clients achieve their goals.

Periodization is like breathing.
It's pretty much unavoidable beyond short periods of time.
The 1st Principle (defined as a statement that is always true and true for all cli
ents) of physical training is using exercise to stimulate structural or functional adaptations specific to the athlete’s or fitness client’s goal. For example:
Improving flexibility, stability and posture to prevent recurring pain.
Reduce fat and/or build muscle to look and feel better.
It is the job of personal trainers to stimulate structural and functional adaptations in their clients by providing them with a training program (written or verbally communicated) – even if this program is not pre-planned and created on the spot.
If you train your clients beyond 4 weeks, then the programs must be based on principles of periodization to create sustained progress for your clients
The less time you have for program design,
the better your program design skills need to be.

Unfortunately, many strength coaches and personal trainers have experienced that periodization is too time consuming, too complex, too rigid and does not work for their clients.
The good news is that, in reality, periodization is not a rigid system, but rather a flexible strategy. The Flexible Periodization Method is built on this fact.
While traditional peridization systems each represent ONE type of program, the Flexible Periodization Method can be used in parts or as a whole to fit any style of training.
The Flexible Periodization Method is a 5-Step Process to help you build the right program for your athletes or clients.
Think of the Flexible Periodization Method as an enzyme that, when added to the training process, helps transform potential to performance.
