FORMA Insights are able to provide guidance, advice, gym programming and oversight to ensure you best prepare your bodies physically for the task of the race. Building strength, improving conditioning and improving movement quality all play a vital role in reducing the possibility of a movement based injury.
The programs can be completed in any standard commercial gym, and if you don't have access to a gym the team at FORMA can build you a home workout plan to improve your strength to help with your race. FORMA sets out every exercise, every set, every rest period and every week of sessions for you. You just need to read the program, fill in your weights and they'll do the rest! There is also an exercise video library to attach to the programs so you can view what the exercise should look like to ensure you're completing it correctly.
