The purpose of this workout program is to build a balanced combination of strength, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular fitness through a structured approach that alternates high-intensity resistance training with focused cardio sessions. By incorporating strategic recovery periods and a deload week, the program aims to maximize physical performance, promote muscle growth, and prevent injury through sustainable progress. This approach is ideal for those seeking comprehensive fitness improvement, emphasizing power development, stamina, and smart recovery for long-term health and strength gains. Rest between exercises is set at 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes. For the main exercises (A), if the final set exceeds 22 repetitions, a weight increase will be implemented to apply progressive overload. The final 5th week is a deload period, focusing on muscular and nervous system recovery, allowing the body to fully recuperate and prepare for the next training cycle.

Common questions

Yes, Endurance Power Cycle (EPC) Program is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 5 weeks are fully unlocked.

This program is built around a full gym. Make sure you have consistent access before starting, since the progression model assumes you can perform the same movements week over week.

Each session typically takes around 120 minutes to complete. That estimate covers your working sets but doesn't account for warm-up or rest between sets, so budget a little extra time when you're first learning the movements.

Endurance Power Cycle (EPC) Program is structured around 3 training days per week, with rest days built in to allow for recovery. The Boostcamp app lets you reschedule sessions if your week doesn't go to plan.

The program runs for 5 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.
