Beginner Blade Training (Sessions 1-2)
Interval training with a slight incline, to make sure first two sessions are focused on form. No longer than 30 second intervals with lots of rest in between sets. Make sure arms are in the fight form and client is finishing out the full stride.
Moderate Blade Training (Sessions 3-6)
Interval training based on a hockey shift of 30-45 seconds depending on the client’s level of skill on the Blade. Make sure the client is working hard and keep stressing form and challenge the client to work tell exhaustion on the last couple of intervals.
Advanced Blade Training (Sessions 7-8)
Hill training along with interval training. By this time form should be almost complete and the client should feel comfortable in their ability on the Blade. Make sure to really challenge the athlete to compete mentally and physically in the session. Also a speed test of 10 at 10 will be performed before and after the programs are completed to document progress.
