Welcome to Week 2 of our “Mold Your Body” fitness program! In this week, we will continue our journey towards achieving a healthier and more sculpted body.
We will focus on various exercises and routines that target different muscle groups, helping you to tone and define your physique. Today, on Day 1, we will kick-start our week with an intense full-body workout. So, let’s dive right in!.
Warm-Up
Before we begin our workout, it’s essential to warm up your body to prevent injury and get your muscles ready for the exercises ahead.
Spend around 5-10 minutes performing dynamic stretches and low-intensity cardio exercises such as jogging in place, jumping jacks, or skipping rope.
Full-Body Circuit
To maximize your workout efficiency, we have designed a full-body circuit that combines strength training exercises with cardiovascular movements. This circuit will help you build muscle while keeping your heart rate elevated for increased calorie burn.
Perform each exercise back-to-back with minimal rest in between. Once you complete the circuit, take a 1-2 minute break, and repeat for a total of 3 sets.
Circuit Exercises
1. Squats
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your body by bending your knees and pushing your hips back as if you are sitting down on a chair. Keep your chest up and back straight. Return to the starting position by extending your legs.
Aim for 12-15 repetitions.
2. Push-Ups
Begin in a high plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your body by bending your elbows and keeping them close to your sides.
Push back up to the starting position, ensuring that your body remains in a straight line throughout the movement. Perform as many repetitions as you can with proper form.
3. Lunges
Stand with one foot forward and one foot back. Lower your body by bending both knees until your back knee nearly touches the ground. Keep your torso upright and core engaged. Push through your front heel and return to the starting position.
Alternate legs and aim for 12-15 repetitions on each side.
4. Dumbbell Shoulder Press
Hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder level with your palms facing forward. Press the weights up above your head until your arms are fully extended. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position. Perform 10-12 repetitions.
5. Plank
Begin in a forearm plank position, with your elbows aligned under your shoulders. Engage your core and maintain a straight line from your head to your heels. Hold this position for 30-60 seconds, or as long as you can while maintaining proper form.
6. Russian Twists
Sit on the ground with your knees bent and feet lifted off the floor. Lean back slightly and clasp your hands together in front of your chest. Twist your torso to the right, then to the left, while keeping your core engaged. Aim for 20 twists on each side.
7. Burpees
Begin in a standing position. Jump up and then immediately lower your hands to the ground and kick your feet back into a high plank position. Perform a push-up, then jump your feet forward to return to a squat position.
From the squat, jump explosively into the air, reaching your arms overhead. Repeat for 10-12 repetitions.
Cool-Down and Stretching
After completing the circuit, it’s important to allow your body to cool down gradually. Perform 5-10 minutes of light cardiovascular exercise such as jogging or brisk walking.
Follow this with static stretches for major muscle groups, holding each stretch for 15-30 seconds.
