As we age we lose power, the ability to produce force quickly, twice as fast as we lose strength. Yet many Masters athletes don't train power at all in their training programs. Every Masters athlete, even endurance based athletes, needs some power training in their program.
This is a very simple, short power program based off of Joel Jamieson's principles.
Warmup: Leg swings, lateral squats, arm circles, march series, forearm wall slides, no moneys, skip series
Workout: 6 x 8-10 sec. w/ 90 sec. rest intervals: Med ball work-Tornado ball horizontal chops, hip toss, chest pass, side toss
10 x 5-6 seconds steep hill sprints w/60 second rest
Comments: This entire session took about 35 minutes. If that is too long for you (which it shouldn't be) cut back the volume a bit. Always emphasize quality over quantity esp. at our ages.
Train hard and train smart!
