Explosive Mode speed and strength training targets fast twitch muscle fibers that are traditionally overlooked in regular fitness training.

Explosive Mode speed and strength training targets fast twitch muscle fibers that are traditionally overlooked in regular fitness training. But fast twitch muscle fibers are more prone to muscle growth than slow twitch muscle fibers (ref 1). Furthermore, explosive training is proven to be beneficial even for endurance athletes (ref 2). So we mix in explosive exercises in all our training. Not only does it bring variety to the training, but it's also a lot of fun.

Get insights on how the professional athletes do it. Read the interviews with World Champion boxer Marlen Esparza, Olympic boxer Natasha Jonas, Capoeira Master Jo Oliveira and Fitness Olympia winner Oksana Grishina.
