4 Week Athlete Transformation

When you train you always want to enhance your performance. Regardless of your goal or if you consider yourself and athlete, performance is always a goal regardless if you think it is. I will give you an example. The 70 year old man who wants to be able to walk up the flight of stairs easier than he did before. This is an example of enhancing performance.
In this particular program however, it is formulated for a person who is looking to enhance their athletic performance. Even if you do not play a sport this program it is surely to give you an edge on the others in the gym. Enjoy!
Take care,
Mike McErlane
