We live in a techie age, don’t we? We’re bringing you workouts you can download to your iPod and iPhone and take anywhere you want! You gotta love it! Of course, we’re expecting there’ll be some questions regarding who we are, what we do, how to do it. So, viola! Here’s a FAQs list that will answer most of your initial questions. Anything not questioned or answered here, just click – contact us – contact us – and let us know.
Our goal is to get you "full body strong" while maintaining healthy joint mobility and function. INFLICT workouts are a combination of strength, endurance, and everything in between. They are designed to train your whole body. Completing the workouts gives you well rounded, balanced results. They are NOT a walk in the park, BUT are designed for safety. We use full body movements, moderate jump training, sports specific movements, core training, endurance and strength training. We didn't forget some body part training either – for the beach. We've done extensive work with Doctors and Physical Therapists in an effort to help bridge the gap between Physical Therapy and Training.

Yes. The answer you’re looking for is “Yes, you can start this workout program.”
In terms of intensity, the workouts are moderate to difficult and not meant to be performed by someone who has never exercised. That being said, most fitness levels are encouraged to do them.
Each workout and the exercises within are scalable to the performance of the participant. For example, if the workout too hard to repeat, then don’t. However, that’s not a license to not challenge yourself. That’s what this is all about. Breaking down barriers and conquering what you didn’t think you could conquer.
Each workout has instructions. Be sure to read them before starting. In general, each workout should be performed twice in the week with at least a day of rest in between.
First workout: As a large circuit, in which you’ll cycle through each station once then repeat them all.
Second workout: Second, as a series of mini-circuits, where you’ll cycle through a row of exercises (usually 3-4 stations in each row), repeat that row, and then moving on to the next row. Continue this way through the workout until all rows are finished.
Occasionally you will see instructions that deviate from this. There will also be instructions to mix in intervals in some workouts. So be on the look out.
NO! It is not necessary to do all of them. The workouts are progressive, however. When followed in sequential order, they are designed to build on each other to give you the absolute best results.
Are you ready to give our program a serious go? Follow these 6 steps to maximize your effort.
1. Dial your diet in, PLEASE! This is 70% of the overall results. Check out our resources area to read some great articles on maintaining an effective diet. (“Resources” should link them to the resources page)
2. Perform each workout twice in the week. Block out at least 1.5 hours for warm up, prep, the workout, and post stretching & maintenance. Try to get at least two days of rest in between workouts.
3. Read the workout instructions before starting! Generally, all exercises are performed twice during the workout, but there are special instructions to follow in order to get the best results from the workout.
4. Know the lay of the land! If you don’t know where the equipment is in your gym your workout will last forever, so do a walk through. This the equipment you’ll use 90% of the time:
5. You'll train in lower rep ranges for strength, and higher rep ranges for endurance, along with a multitude of ranges in between. We leave it up to you to determine the most appropriate weight for your desired intensity. START LIGHT! And adjust from there.
6. Get your cardio in! Being in good cardiovascular shape means less rest between exercises. Less rest means more completed work. More work means higher fitness level. Get the point?
The first 14 workouts are called the Red Series. Their purpose is to build your strength and cardiac bases. The next 36 workouts are the Green Series. Once your bases are in, this next set of workouts delivers with tougher exercises and more of them per workout and new challenges (like mixed modalities).
We suggest folks start by just purchasing the Red series. Stay “to plan” and get through all of them, then purchase the Green series.
There are a lot of different schools of thought here. Ideally, to get the absolute most appropriate weight you would perform a one rep max in standard lifts such as bench press, pull downs, dead lift, etc., etc., then take a % of it, yada, yada -- come on. We know you’re not going to do that. So, here’s the rule we follow…
Most of the sets are between 10-20 reps, a bit on the high side. Generally, the higher the # of reps, the lower the resistance. You should find out for yourself where the limits of your strength is, then go by trial and error. We always tell our clients to go light at first. Then correct from there. So, if the weight is too heavy the first time through, lower it the second time through. As you proceed through the workouts you’ll obviously get stronger and you’ll “true up” your weight.
Get your cardio in! Maintaining your cardio base is essential to the success of the program. You’ll want to do at least 35-45 mins a day.
Along with the cardio, be sure to get your body maintenance in (post-stretch, foam roll & stick, and ice sore muscles). Click here to check out our foam roller sequence.
For the first 6 weeks you’ll want to rest at least two days between Inflict workouts. After 6 weeks, you’re body will be used to the physical demands you’re putting on it and you may start to plateau, at which point you’ll be fine with taking a one day rest between Inflict workouts.
Don’t forget. On days you’re not doing your Inflict workouts, you’ll want to get your cardio in and maintenance the body with stretching, foam rolling, using the stick, and icing.
