I always get excited when I am about to start a new exercise routine. Within the NASM curriculum there are 3 main categories Stabilization, Strength and Power and 5 phases within. Phase 1 consists of Stabilization Endurance. It is the foundation. Like a house, building a strong foundation leads to a stable core and body. Phase 2 consists of Strength Endurance. Phase 3 is hypertrophy. Phase 4 is Maximal Strength. Hypetrophy is optional and is used for clients wanting to make muscle gains. Phase 5 at the top of the pyramid is Power.
I started in Phase 1 Strength Stabilization and I am progressing to Phase 2 Strength Endurance.
