This week I plan to write a series of posts that will give you the tools to be able to evaluate a training program. I keep getting phone calls and questions asking my opinion on various popular programs. Rather than comment on Fat Fit or Jungle Jane’s program, I think it is more effective to give you a template to evaluate your own program and other programs objectively. The criteria is based on my experience, sport science, and sound pedagogy, not commercial hype or marketing. I do not have a program or a certification to sell so I think I can be objective. In my 47 years of training and 40 years of coaching I have seen many fads come and go, so I will put a historical context on my evaluation. Tomorrow I will start with training principles.
