There’s no shortage of training programs out there. If you’ve spent any time in the gym, you’ve probably come across them all—bro splits, CrossFit, push/pull/legs, HIIT, Conjugate, Golden Era bodybuilding. Feeling overwhelmed yet?
I remember my dad teaching me the classic “chest and tris, back and bis, and legs” split when I was about 10 or 11. If you’ve done any of these, it doesn’t take long to realize that not all training programs are built for longevity.
Sure, “the system works if you work it” is generally true, but here’s the problem: The fitness industry is filled with short-sighted training plans. They might get you stronger or leaner in the short term, but what happens after a few years?
- Joint pain creeps in
- Plateaus last for months or even years
- Physical therapy bills pile up
- Workouts feel like a chore instead of something you enjoy
So, is every training plan destined for doom and gloom? Or is there a way to train for life, feel amazing, and still get results?
We think so.
Who Needs a Smarter Training Plan?
Tell me if this sounds like you:
✅ You want more energy so you can perform at a high level at work.
✅ You want to avoid injury so you can play with your kids or grandkids.
✅ You want to stay in great shape so you can live confidently and do the things you love.
✅ You want to work hard in the gym—but exercise isn’t your full-time job.
✅ You want to move well so life outside the gym feels just as strong and athletic.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. These are the exact goals of every single client we train at Landing Health & Performance—and, honestly, they’re the goals we set for ourselves, too.
We needed a training method that checked all those boxes—one that wasn’t just about lifting heavy, burning calories, or chasing a pump but about building a strong, capable body for life.
Our solution? Full Body Training.
What is Full Body Training?
Let’s demystify every strength and conditioning program you’ve ever seen.
When you walk into a gym, you can only do six things:
1️⃣ Push (Bench Press, Push-Ups, Overhead Press)
2️⃣ Pull (Rows, Pull-Ups, Lat Pulldowns)
3️⃣ Squat (Back Squats, Box Squats, Air Squats)
4️⃣ Hinge/Bend (Deadlifts, KB Swings, Hip Thrusts)
5️⃣ Single-Leg Movements (Lunges, Step-Ups, Single-Leg Romanian Deadlifts)
6️⃣ Core (Carries, Sit-Ups, Hollow Holds)
That’s it. Every exercise falls into one of these six movement patterns.
Most programs make the mistake of overemphasizing one area while neglecting others.
- Bodybuilding? Focused on aesthetics, but often lacks athleticism.
- Powerlifting? Focuses on strength, but mobility and conditioning suffer.
- CrossFit? Great for work capacity, but random programming can cause burnout.
- HIIT? High energy, but often lacks progressive overload for real strength gains.
Each approach has benefits, but if you only follow one of these methods, you miss the bigger picture.
Why Full Body Training is the Best Approach
At Landing Health & Performance, we use Full Body Training because it’s the most efficient and effective way to train for strength, athleticism, and longevity.
Here’s why:
1️⃣ More Muscle, Less Fatigue
Training full body means you hit each muscle group multiple times per week without overloading any single area. That means more opportunities for growth and strength without wrecking your recovery.
2️⃣ Strength That Transfers to Real Life
Instead of isolating muscles for aesthetics, we train patterns that actually matter. Whether you’re picking up your kid, sprinting up stairs, or carrying groceries, your training has a direct impact on how you feel outside the gym.
3️⃣ Improved Athleticism & Movement Quality
Our workouts prioritize single-leg work, carries, and core stability—things that prevent injury and make you stronger in real-world movement.
4️⃣ Smarter Conditioning
No excessive cardio. No burnout. Just purposeful conditioning that keeps your heart and lungs strong without crushing your recovery.
5️⃣ Longevity & Joint Health
We train hard, but train smart. Instead of grinding your joints into dust, we use progressive, structured programming that keeps you strong for the long haul.
