Workout plan details
Want a little boost in your workout? Want to avoid an injury? Want to recover faster and come back to the next workout stronger than ever? Then we highly suggest working your way through the warm-ups and cool-downs attached to some of the workouts in this plan. You can thank us later. YES to muscles and NO to injuries!
With each Resistance Band workout, be sure to really focus on completing the specified reps. If the instructions are to complete 20 reps, you must complete 20 reps, even if that means resting during the set. This will train the body’s ability to complete a high amount of reps (regardless of how much you rest); after a few weeks you’ll be nailing every rep amount without the need to rest. Now that’s progress!
The Lower Body Focus workouts are designed for focus. Make sure you check out the instructions for each exercise and focus on your form during every rep. Bad form is a big no no! There is no need to rush with these exercises – perform each rep in a slow and controlled manner. It may even help to film yourself completing the exercise and review it after completion.
Consider the Low Intensity days as your opportunity to recover. These ‘workouts’ are designed to loosen those tight and tired muscle and nothing more. Take advantage of them, stretch additionally, and prepare that body for the next workout to come.
Finally, the Upper Body High-intensity workouts are preferably to be completed outside. Take this opportunity to get outside in the fresh air. The runs are progressive and alternate every single week. Please be sure to warm up before attempting these workouts, they are very intense! Feel free to use alternatives to difficult exercises: instead of full push-ups, try out modified knee push-ups; instead of full planks, try knee-resting planks. Time your runs, and as best as you can, note the distances. These are great ways to challenge yourself in the future!
Finally, please stay hydrated! Dehydration during workouts can wreck the workout (and your body). By taking regular, small sips, you’ll add reps to sets and gains to workouts. Your body needs water!
