A structure of sessions, volume, and intensity to achieve physical goals safely and progressively.

Definition and context

A structure of sessions, volume, and intensity to achieve physical goals safely and progressively. This definition summarizes the main objective of the concept so that any reader can quickly identify how to apply it.

Includes exercise selection, sets, repetitions, intensity, rest, and weekly frequency. Adapted to level, goals, and availability.

Why is it relevant?

Organizes progress, reduces injuries, and ensures the load is adjusted to the patient's recovery and goals.

Applied example

Beginner patient organizes 3 days/week: full-body strength with 6-8 exercises, 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps, 90-second rest, and daily 20-minute walks; load and technique are reviewed every 2 weeks to progress without injury.

How to apply it in Almendra

  • Save plan templates (beginner/intermediate) and duplicate based on availability and equipment.
  • Attach tutorials or short videos in Almendra for basic technique.
  • Schedule session reminders and compliance tracking.

Key recommendations

  • Define the main goal and a realistic frequency.
  • Balance pushes, pulls, lower body, and core.
  • Scale volume based on recovery and sleep.
  • Integrate mobility and a brief warm-up.
  • Review technique before increasing load.

Frequently asked questions

How many days are enough?

2-3 well-structured days can produce progress in beginners; more frequency requires good recovery.

How do I combine cardio and strength?

Separate them on different days or place cardio away from the main strength session if strength performance is the priority.
