TBC = total body circuit C.A. = corrective exercises D. Warm-up = dynamic warm-up Move it! = cardio, sports, hiking, etc. S/C circuits = stretch + CORE circuits CORE = core circuits |
Regular Workout Flow – (M/W/F – 45-60 minutes)
Guidelines
- Combine each of the components (as suggested above in the weekly calendar) into one smooth and continuous workout. For example, on Monday, start with the stabilizer video, then move onto the dynamic warm up, 2 total body circuits, and finally 2 CORE circuits.
- Take as little rest as possible between exercises and circuits. The goal here is maintaining a fast, controlled and steady pace, not intense weight lifting.
- This phase is 4 weeks minimum, and you must properly perform the level 6 TBC at a moderate speed and resistance in order to progress to phase III.
- The warm-up and stabilizer videos are organized as upper, lower and total body. This does not pertain to phase II because every workout has a total body focus, so therefore you can choose whichever (upper, lower or total body) you like.
- Although stretching is not mentioned on the M/W/F routine, it is always a good idea to stretch everyday or almost every day. Unless you are blessed with extreme flexibility, stretching is key to not only your performance, but also your recovery and overall well being.
- The amount of times per week for each workout is a maximum recommendation, so if you are new to this and it seems like too much, then start with only 2x per week instead of 4, or whatever sounds right for you. Just know that the greatest benefits will come once you get up to the maximum recommendation. Work your way up slowly, with baby steps anything is possible.
Goals
- Maintain the following intensities by % of MHR (max heart rate) for the TBC & CORE portions of the workout.
Beginner – 60-70% Intermediate – 65-75% Advanced – 70-85%
- Control your body weight up to a moderate speed in all planes of motions and with all types of movements, including; push, pull, back bend, side bend, front bend, squat, lunge, twist, jump, land, accelerate, decelerate, and combinations of movements.
- Perform a level 6 TBC efficiently at the end of 4 weeks so that Phase III can be started.
