This is the beginning of your training as a Warrior. Here you will shape your body into a strong, athletic machine.
The focus on the Warrior program is overall strength, the ability to manipulate heavy things, and strength-endurance, the ability to manipulate things for longer periods of time.
Level 1
This level is about improving our strength-endurance baseline - getting better at doing more work in the same amount of time. You will need this ability more and more as levels increase.
Level 1 Technique: Near Failure
The Near Failure technique is the first you will be learning. This technique will be used during all training this level.
The technique is simple: repeat an exercise a number of times until you think you might not be able to succeed on the next repetition. You never want to fail to achieve a repetition - you want to stop before you do. This enhances recovery between sets of the exercise.

Exercises
We're going to start with two basic exercises that can be done anywhere: the push-up and the lunge. There are many variations of these exercises, and you may use any of them you wish, as long as you can do around 10 repetitions, but you're encouraged to go easier. Most people would really benefit from starting on the knees.

The Method
Begin with either exercise, it doesn't matter which. Perform on set using the Near Failure technique, and then take a brief pause of about 30s - 10 deep breaths are a good time gauge. Then immediately attempt another set, using Near Failure again.
Do this as many days per week as you wish, as this will help increase strength-endurance, but the minimum number of days is 4. It's recommended to not track your performance in these exercises, and focus simply on spending time as often as you can do just do work.

You gain +10xp each time you workout, with a +10xp bonus for each session over 4. When you reach 500xp, move on to Level 2.
