This Week's Workout Program Outline
I get asked a lot for a simple and easy to implement workout program outline that spells out what to do
each day of the week.
So without going to in depth with what exercises you should be doing each day, here's an effective weekly outline you can use to set up your program and get started.
Sample Workout Program Breakdown:
Monday: Resistance Training (done in interval style to keep heart rate up)
Tuesday: Cardiovascular endurance training or interval sprints
Wednesday: Resistance Training (done in interval style to keep heart rate up)
Thursday: Rest day (take a 30-60 minute walk)
Friday: Cardiovascular endurance training or interval sprints
Saturday: Resistance Training (done in interval style to keep heart rate up)
Sunday: Rest day (take a 30-60 minute walk)
Keep in mind you can substitute a kickboxing class or any of your favorite workout methods for any of the above workout days. You can even add in a beginner relaxation yoga class as a great rest-day activity. Also, your workouts don't need to be marathon training sessions either… each workout can be completed in as little as 20-30 minutes.
The main point here is to have a plan! This is really where most people fall short… they leave their workout program to chance and never really have any action plan for reaching their goals.
Don't let that be you – Write your plan today!
