Here’s something I wish I’d figured out sooner. When you train like an athlete with a 4 week plan, life gets better. You feel stronger, more capable, and have loads of energy. It’s like you’ve suddenly unlocked a better version of yourself, accomplishing more every day with less effort.
I know this firsthand. Endura’s personalized workouts helped me lose 40 pounds of fat while gaining muscle, and I’ve never felt better. That’s why I strongly believe everyone should train this way.
Whether you’re gearing up for a sport, looking to push your limits in the gym, or just wanting to feel your best, your workouts should be structured like an athlete’s training regimen. Every session needs a purpose and should target multiple aspects of fitness – strength, muscle building, cardio, mobility, flexibility, speed, and power.
But let’s be real – building this kind of workout plan on your own can be as confusing as the plot of Inception. I know because, as a strength coach, I saw how hard it was for people to find a plan that truly fit their needs. That’s exactly why I created Endura – an AI personal trainer, combined with real human support, that always has your back and helps you train like a pro.

Personalized Workouts: Your Training Plan Starts Here
Creating a 4 week training plan with Endura is as easy as texting a friend. No more flipping through bodybuilding magazines like I did in my teens, hoping to piece together the perfect fitness routine.
When I first clicked to start my Endura journey – the very tool I created after noticing how many people struggled to build effective workout plans – I was amazed at how quickly it generated a program specifically for me. My goal in developing Endura was to create a tool that could provide a world-class workout plan with just a few clicks. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a complete beginner, Endura makes it simple to get started.
Here’s how it works: Endura asks you a few questions about your goals, equipment, experience, and available time. Then, in less than a minute, it creates a custom plan that perfectly matches your lifestyle and fitness objectives. And here’s the best part – you don’t need to know anything about working out, fitness, or designing workout plans. Endura does all the heavy lifting for you.
How Endura Personalizes Your Training

- Fitness Level: I input my training experience, and Endura adapted the workouts accordingly. It does the same for everyone, whether you’re a gym newbie or a seasoned athlete.

Undulating Daily Periodization: The Secret to Your 4 Week Plan
One of the best things about Endura’s 4 week plan is how it uses a method called undulating daily periodization (DUP). This approach alternates the number of sets and reps in each workout throughout the week, keeping your body guessing and enhancing the effectiveness of your training. Research shows that DUP leads to greater strength gains compared to traditional linear periodization. In fact, a study found that individuals using DUP experienced an increase of approximately 28% in their bench press strength and a 25% increase in squat strength over a 12 week period, compared to those following a more conventional program.
When I started using Endura and implemented DUP into my workouts, I noticed similar gains in my strength and overall fitness. Endura personalizes the number of reps and sets you do based on your goals. Whether you’re aiming to build strength, increase muscle endurance, or both, it adjusts the plan accordingly.
Here’s what a sample week using DUP might look like. Each workout hits the major muscle groups using one squat or lunge exercise, one hip hinge exercise, one pressing movement, one rowing or pulling exercise, one core movement, and one exercise for either the biceps or triceps. Each session contains no more than 18 total sets.
Example Week of Workouts with Undulating Daily Periodization
Workout 1 (5 Reps per Set)
1. Squat Exercise: Barbell Back Squats – 4 sets x 5 reps
2. Hip Hinge Exercise: Romanian Deadlifts – 3 sets x 5 reps
3. Push Exercise: Barbell Bench Press – 3 sets x 5 reps
4. Pull Exercise: BentOver Rows – 3 sets x 5 reps
5. Core Exercise: Hanging Leg Raises – 2 sets x 5 reps
6. Arm Exercise: Barbell Curls – 3 sets x 5 reps
Workout 2 (10 Reps per Set)
1. Lunge Exercise: Lateral Lunges – 3 sets x 10 reps
2. Hip Hinge Exercise: Kettlebell Swings – 3 sets x 10 reps
3. Press Exercise: Dumbbell Shoulder Press – 3 sets x 10 reps
4. Pull Exercise: Lat Pulldowns – 3 sets x 10 reps
5. Core Exercise: Russian Twists – 2 sets x 10 reps (each side)
6. Arm Exercise: Triceps Dips – 3 sets x 10 reps
Workout 3 (15 Reps per Set)
1. Squat Exercise: Goblet Squats – 4 sets x 15 reps
2. Hip Hinge Exercise: Glute Bridges – 4 sets x 15 reps
3. Push Exercise: PushUps – 3 sets x 15 reps
4. Pull Exercise: SingleArm Dumbbell Rows – 3 sets x 15 reps (each side)
5. Core Exercise: Plank – 2 sets, hold for 30 seconds (adjust as needed)
6. Arm Exercise: Hammer Curls – 2 sets x 15 reps
This alternating approach in reps and sets keeps your workouts fresh and prevents your body from adapting too quickly, which is key for making consistent progress. The exact number of reps and sets will vary depending on what you tell Endura about your fitness goals. Whether you’re aiming to maximize strength, improve muscle tone, or enhance endurance, Endura tailors the plan to suit your needs.
Endura’s 4 week plan, powered by daily undulating periodization, has been a revelation for me. Research backs up the effectiveness of this method, and I’ve experienced those benefits firsthand.
Now that you’ve seen how the plan is structured, let’s dive into how strength training lays the foundation for your athletic performance.
Strength Training: Building a Solid Foundation
Endura takes strength training to the next level by incorporating three key aspects of muscle development into your program:
- Maximal Strength: Heavy lifts to build power. Endura designed workouts that helped me go from struggling with a 135-pound bench press to confidently pressing 225 pounds.
- Isometric Strength: Planks and holds that challenge your stability. Endura programs these into your routine to help with sports performance, whether it’s holding off an opponent in soccer or maintaining balance while surfing.
- Strength Endurance: Lighter weights with more reps to build muscle stamina. These sessions were a game-changer for me, especially when I incorporated more hiking and beach workouts.
Your workout frequency ranges from 26 times a week, tailored to your goals. I started at 4 times a week to balance my work schedule and gradually increased as my strength improved.
Examples From Sports:
- Isometric Strength: Ideal for sports like soccer where holding off opponents is key.
- Maximal Strength: Translates into powerful football tackles.
- Strength Endurance: Crucial for maintaining peak performance in tennis matches.
A full body strength routine provides the foundation for athletic performance. Endura ensures every strength session is customized for you, helping you feel stronger and more balanced – just as it did for me.
Once your strength is in place, it’s time to supercharge your fitness with targeted cardio workouts.
Cardio Workouts: Build and Boost Your Engine
Cardio was a weak point in my routine before I started using Endura. I used to dread running, but it incorporated cardio into my workouts in a way that didn’t feel like torture. It varied my cardio sessions to include:
Low to Moderate Intensity: Helping build endurance over time.
High Intensity Intervals: Short, intense bursts that not only helped me shed fat but also improved my recovery between sets.
Examples in Sports:
- Soccer: Sprinting drills to build speed and endurance.
- Basketball: High intensity movements to keep up with fast paced defensive plays.
Cardio became the engine of my fitness journey. Properly programmed sessions kept me ready for everything, from uphill hikes to high energy beach workouts. Want to boost your endurance and stamina?
As your engine gets stronger, don’t forget the importance of flexibility and mobility in your overall performance.
Flexibility and Mobility Workouts: Move with Ease
Flexibility and mobility were game changers for me. After years of lifting, my body felt stiff. Endura incorporated flexibility and mobility into my routines, weaving them into my strength and cardio sessions or even as separate workouts.
I noticed my body moving more smoothly, not just in the gym but in my daily life. My performance in Brazilian JiuJitsu improved, and I could hike and surf with greater ease.
Endura’s attention to flexibility and mobility helped me reduce injuries and keep moving freely. If you want to stay limber and agile, [start with Endura now]().
Now that you’re training hard, let’s discuss why recovery is just as crucial as the workouts themselves.
Recovery Between Workouts: Because Rest is Best
No athlete can train nonstop, and Endura knows this. It structured my workout plan to include adequate rest, preventing burnout and injuries. This focus on recovery was crucial in my 40 pound fat loss and muscle gain journey.
Endura also taught me that recovery isn’t just about rest; it’s about smart planning, balancing work and rest for optimal gains. If you’re ready to maximize your results, [get Endura]() today.
