Most people don’t fail in the gym because they’re lazy—they fail because they don’t have a real plan. In this episode, I break down 5 military tactics I learned as an Army Ranger and have used as a performance coach for 15+ years to help people train with purpose.
Too many training programs fall apart because they lack strategy. In this episode, I’ll show you how to build a plan that fits your goals, supports your lifestyle, and holds up under pressure.
What you’ll learn:
- How to set a clear mission for your training
- The difference between your main effort and supporting efforts
- Why shaping and sustaining operations matter in fitness
- How to run daily after-action reviews (AARs) to stay consistent
- Why crossloading and redundancy help busy people train without missing workouts
This isn’t about motivation. It’s about planning. If you’re serious about staying strong, fit, and adaptable—especially with a full plate—this is how you build a system that actually works.
