Time to Get Back in Shape
The Holidays kicked your butt and now you are spent more time with the tv than a dumbbell. It happens.
Here’s what I’m going to do…
I’m going to give you a 8-week plan to get things back in gear.
This is a plan that can be modified, but speaking in general terms for a wide range of populations, this is for someone who hasn’t had much physical activity. At Pride Fitness, we’ve had incredible success helping people get things rolling, and keeping that momentum going for months (and years!).
Below you’ll find 4 Workouts. For purposes, we will call them A, B, C, and D. Each letter is a different workout. You’ll complete each workout 5x. I’ll list what your weeks will look like if you workout 3 days a week.
Week 1: A, B, C
Week 2: D, A, B
Week 3: C, D, A
Week 4: B, C, D
Week 5: A, B, C
Week 6: D, A, B
Week 7: C, D, A
Week 8: B, C, D
So, if you workout 4x a week. You’ll complete each workout once for 5-weeks.
Your goals include:
Increase the weight used each time you come back to a workout.
Improve your time on the Erg’s.
Increase your reps on the core exercises from 15 to 20.
You’ll notice some exercises have two options. Option A is more difficult. Option B will be the more simple version of the exercise. It will look like this:
Plank / Incline Plank
If you start with B and it’s too easy, go to A. If you start B and the 3rd time you go through that workout and you feel comfortable, go to A. Let’s get to what you came here for. Workouts below!
