An interesting program

Visited our daughter over the weekend and took in two workout sessions at the facility in which she is a partner. The system is called Madabolic. It is what I would call high intensity interval training aimed at serious athletes but adaptable to anyone who likes intense workouts at whatever your fitness level. The workout  changes daily. It consists of six stations that change with the day. Saturday it was heavy bag, slide board, kettle bell swing, squat cleans, suicide sprints and another I have forgotten. The drill was 12 sets of 15 second intervals for the movement, with 15 seconds off after each set, at each station. The workout begins with an explanation of each movement, form emphasized, and a warmup. Sunday had a different mix that included rowing machines and a 30 second on/off interval. They  accommodate up to 4 people at each station. No measurement of performance, that is up to the individual. But there is a trainer who encourages and corrects form. To the credit of the facility managers and trainers, there is tremendous camaraderie and a very supportive and enthusiastic atmosphere. I saw several clients that I met last summer when the gym opened who have literally transformed their bodies in 7-8 months. This means weight loss and muscular development. I have to  say that I was impressed with the system and their execution of it. I didn't' have the courage to do a workout, but am motivated to get into condition to try one next visit.
