    • Fitness

Welcome to the Motocross Strength and Conditioning Podcast!  Motocross is an elite sport, and the way we approach training needs to reflect that. This podcast is meant to be a beacon of clarity that will help you navigate through the challenging realm of strength and conditioning!

In today’s episode, we break down a popular and misunderstood topic. PERIODIZATION! The sport of motocross presents multiple challenges when it comes to programming your entire year of training. The season feels never ending, the off-season is short, and countless people tend to feel as though it's impossible to structure your training in a way that's smart and effective. That's where I step in! I'm here to tell you that it can be done, and hopefully after the next couple of episodes, you'll understand how. I hope you find value in this episode, and stay tuned for part 2!
