Gym Jones Foundation: Dumbbells II

Need a break from your regular routine? This 6-Week Foundation Dumbbells Program is for you. This is not a progression on our Foundation DBs I program, but a completely new and improved program based on all we've learned about programming and coaching in the last two years. Foundation is meant to provide a break from structured training to bring you back to physical and mental baseline, and focusing your training on an implement you don't usually use (or one you love!) is a great way to find fun in the gym again.

Get Back to Baseline
Foundation is meant to bring you back from either end of the fitness spectrum, get you to baseline and ready to get back to business. Whether you've taken a break from training or are coming off of a grueling phase, a Foundation program is a great way to bring balance back to your training.

Combat burnout (without taking a break)
Hard work in the gym takes a toll, both physically and mentally. A Foundation phase gives you a much needed break from chasing numbers and target paces, and places more emphasis on how you're feeling. If you're tired, sore, and just plain sick of training, this program is a great way to get you feeling good in the gym again.

Fall in love with training again
If you've lost sight of the reason you started training in the first place (i.e. the fun part), Foundation is a way to find that again. It's "a little bit of everything" to help you remember all the things you love about the gym.
