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.

What exactly is Inflict Training?

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.

Should I consult a physician before starting your workouts?

Yes. The answer you’re looking for is “Yes, you can start this workout program.”

What fitness level is each workout?

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.

How do I follow the workouts?

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.

Do I have to do all 50?

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.

What’s my commitment?

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:

  • Cable Rack
  • Swiss Ball
  • Dumbbells
  • Bench
  • Bands (of assorted resistance)

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?

Why are some workouts Red and some Green?

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.

What amount of weight should I use?

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.

What if I physically cannot perform an exercise?
  • Start by decreasing the weight or resistance.
  • Still can’t do it? Modify it using the modification guide at the end of each workout. Keep in mind not all modifications are listed. The modifications we provide are general to the planes of motions typically used in each workout. For additional modifications, please consult a certified personal trainer or physical therapist.
  • If you’re having a muscular or soft tissue flare up, skip the exercise. Generally, you can continue the workout, but do not perform exercises that will load the affected area and/or create pain. After the workout get focused on body maintenance and rehabbing the area (ice, foam rolling, stretching). When ready, reintroduce the exercise using less resistance and modifications.
  • If you’re just plain injured, stop your workout immediately. Consult your Doctor before continuing with our program.
What should I be doing on days I’m not doing my Inflict workouts?

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.

What’s the suggested amount of recovery time between workouts?

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.

What format are the videos in?

QuickTime. Click here to download the latest version of QuickTime.

How do I download the videos from your site to my computer?

Workout(s) you’ve purchased will be listed on the order information screen in your shopping cart account. Simply click the download button for one (or more) of the workouts you want to download. A download box opens. Save the file locally to your computer, or open it with iTunes or your computers QuickTime player.

How long do the videos take to download?

Depending on your computers speed, each video should take approximately 5-8 minutes to fully download. Keep in mind, the more workouts you download simultaneously the more computer memory you’ll use, the slower the download process will go.

Can I download directly to my iPhone?

Not yet. We are working on an application for both iPhone and iPod Touch that will allow you to purchase and download right from your handheld. Until then, you’ll need to sync from your computers iTunes account.

Which devices do your videos work on?

Any Apple device that supports video, including…

  • Most iPod models
  • iPhone
  • iTV

Also, Microsoft’s Zune Player.

How do I upload the videos to my device?

Each manufacturer is different. Here is an instruction link for syncing movies from iTunes to your iPod or iPhone.

What if my device can’t hold all the videos?

Once all your videos are stored on your computer you can load and unload as many to your device as you want. They can take up a lot of memory, so we suggest loading 5 at a time.

I can’t see the exercises. Can they be enlarged?

Yes. Some workouts have up to 32 exercises in the Road Map making them difficult to see altogether at once. If this is the case, simply press the skip button or let the movie continue to run. Each exercise will appear in singular fasion, in order, and will fit the entire screen. Each exercise displays a list of tips to maintain form.

What if I don’t have a portable media player?

Don’t let that stop you from getting these workouts! The videos are in QuickTime format. They can be saved locally on your computer and used for home workouts. Certain flat panel TVs can have computers plugged into them, doubling the TV as a computer monitor. Check your TV owner’s manual to see if it can. Our workouts look awesome on the big screen!

Do your videos work on my HD TV?

Why is there no audio instruction for each workout/exercise?

We’re currently adding both music and audio instruction to the Inflict 50 line up. We do not have a release date, but will update you all once we do.

There is no music in the videos. Why?

Two reasons…

  1. We know music motivates people to move. However, what we listen to in our “lab” may be MUCH different then what you listen to. We considered that when making the first version of our product. Subsequent releases of our Inflict 50 line up will have a mellow rock beat added to them.
  2. Also, in a perfect world, you’d be able to listen to your own music content while viewing our videos. Unfortunately, Apple must release either a solution that enables you to do both simultaneously or a third party application must be developed that enables you to do both. If you hear of any, let us know and we’ll comp your workouts forever.
I registered for the site and created my Inflict Profile, but I can’t access my shopping cart to check out?

You might not have registered your cart yet. The registration for the site and shopping cart are two separate processes. The first time you make a purchase you’ll do a one-time registration of your shopping cart. Then, going forward, anytime you purchase from the site you’ll be asked to sign into your shopping cart using the email address and password you provided when registering your cart.

When I sign into my Inflict Profile I don’t see an updated list of the workouts I’ve purchased and/or completed?

You’re correct. The Inflict Profile page is still under construction. When completed it will be your hub that will house data related to your workout progress, including: workouts purchased, workouts completed, an “Inflict-O-Meter” to measure and gauge your progress, also the ability to view the progress of others who are following the progression.

To make this area as successful as possible, your feedback is vital. Please let us know what you’d like to see in your Inflict Profile. Winning suggestions will get complimentary workouts.

Is it okay to share my computer with someone who is also an Inflict customer?

Yes. Just be sure to sign yourself out and clear your cookies after each session. Otherwise, what you add to your cart will show up in your friends cart – and vice versa. Clearing cookies is easy. In the menu option go to ‘tools,’ then ‘clear private data.’ Make sure you click off “cookies.”
