Strength & conditioning program
Adrian Migani Strength and Conditioning Program
Dragon Masters used the services of Adrian Migani from Migani Fitness to produce a recommended strength and conditioning program along with videos demonstrating each exercise. Two programs have been provided, one that requires access to a gym and one that does not require any equipment. Using gym equipment will provide better results but if you don’t have access to a gym then the “no equipment” program is the next best thing. The program has a paddling focus but also includes general conditioning exercises.
Adrian Migani can be contacted on 0431 213248 if you want to arrange a private session with him at your own cost. David Nairn is managing the program within Dragon Masters and can answer questions about how to use the program.
A spread sheet, Dragon Masters Strength Program V1, lists the program . This program should be used in conjunction with the videos listed below.
Program - No Equipment Required
