Periodization are designed exercises and techniques that promotes long-term performance improvements. Personal Trainers implement these techniques with variations of intensity, frequency, volume and pressure within certain training cycle.

Periodization is commonly applied and designed to prepare for competition, with performance peaking at the most competitive times in the season.

Joe, I have been wanting to tell you that I never dreamed to be sitting down with the PROS and exchanging words, especially about a subject that I like, for once in my life, being at the academy, I felt so good, not only did I learn so much more than I have ever learned from other certifications, but I had a lot of fun learning. Especially when it got to the practical application, you guys know what you are doing. No one taught this before like you do. I do have other certifications under my belt and they are going to end up in the garbage, what a waist of money and time, I cannot wait to see you again next Saturday, I am so excited. Please tell Mike Sable that we love his lecture. I know this is for six weeks but I wish I can come to the academy every week, it is so great.
