The 3 Rules of the Ultimate Grind

In my biased opinion, the Ultimate Grind is the best exercise program anywhere...if you do it right.

So this begs the question, "How do you do it right?"

You'll be in good shape as long as you follow the 3 rules of the Ultimate Grind:

Rule #1 "Form Over Glory"

Never compromise your form just to do a "more intense" variation of an exercise. As you know, every exercise we do has modifications and progressions, which is why participants at all fitness levels can exercise side by side. If you perform a progression that your body's not ready for, you're not being safe...and safety is the #1 rule of the Ultimate Grind.

Rule #2 "Don't Fake It"

Many of our exercises are technical(the deadlift, the squat,the 45 degree row, even the pushup and the shoulder press), which means there's a right way to do them and a wrong way to do them. When you're starting out, it's easier to do them the wrong way....don't let yourself do it! These exercises build the foundation for everything you will do in the future....listen to your coach and do them right!

Rule #3 "Don't Skip Workouts"

Sure...things come up and you might not be able to make every single Ultimate Grind workout. That's OK, but if you miss a workout, exercise on your own. Don't know what to do?....Do your corrective exercises, a 30 minute interval run, 3 sets of the "big 5" for strength....and you should be on track for your next workout.
