The Nordic Method: A workout system for community-based, functional strength training - Paperback

by Alf E. Berle (Author)

The Nordic Method is a training program focused on functional strength and conditioning. The program comprises 150 workouts, equivalent to a full year of training. Designed as a mega-cycle, the program can be re-used year upon year. As is traditional in the Nordic countries, the workouts are made to work well in a community or group setting with no professional instruction. The program requires very little equipment and relies on a combination of bodyweight exercises and kettlebell work.
