The Anxious Athlete: Winter Off-Season

by Samuel C.

Program Description

Purpose: Rebuild the body, recalibrate the mind. The winter block is your foundation-building phase. With no games or practices, training shifts to muscle growth, strength gain, and metabolic health. This is where you change your body composition, reset habits, and build structure—inside and out. You’ll focus on heavier compound movements, consistent aerobic base work, and restorative practices to reduce chronic stress. Winter is your time to slow down, eat well, lift heavy, and recover deeply.
