Welcome to the first week of your transformative journey to a healthier, fitter and stronger body.
If you’re looking to get healthy, tone up or lose weight, you’ve come to the right place! The goal of this four-week program is to help you achieve your desired fitness goal by providing you with simple and effective workout routines that you can do at home or in the gym.
Week 1: The Foundation
The first week of this program will focus on building a foundation for your fitness journey. During this week, we will focus on improving your overall fitness level, increasing your metabolism and building strength.
These workouts will help you burn calories, gain strength and endurance, and improve your overall fitness level.
Day 1: Cardio and Strength
The first workout of week one is focused on cardio-intervals and strength training. This workout will help you increase your heart rate and metabolism, while also building strength.
Start with a five-minute warm-up, and then alternate between 30 seconds of high-intensity cardio and 30 seconds of strength exercises such as squats, push-ups or lunges. Complete three sets of these intervals, and finish with a five-minute cool down.
Day 2: Stretching
Day two should be dedicated to stretching and recovery. Take a yoga class, go for a walk or simply go through a series of basic stretching exercises to help relax your muscles and improve flexibility.
This will give your body a chance to recover and prepare for the upcoming workouts.
Day 3: Upper Body Strength
The third day of the program is focused on building upper body strength. Start with a five-minute warm-up and then complete three sets of 12 repetitions for exercises such as bicep curls, bench presses, shoulder presses and tricep dips.
Rest for 30 seconds in between sets, and finish with a five-minute cool-down period.
Day 4: Cardio and Core
Day four is focused on cardio and core workout. Alternate between 30 seconds of high-intensity cardio (such as jumping jacks, burpees, or running in place) and 30 seconds of core exercises (such as planks, bicycle crunches, or leg raises).
Complete three sets of these intervals, and finish with a five-minute cool down.
Day 5: Lower Body Strength
The fifth day of the program is focused on building lower body strength. Start with a five-minute warm-up and then complete three sets of 12 repetitions for exercises such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, and calf raises.
Rest for 30 seconds in between sets, and finish with a five-minute cool-down period.
Day 6: Stretching
Day six should be dedicated to stretching and recovery. Take a yoga class, go for a walk or simply go through a series of basic stretching exercises to help relax your muscles and improve flexibility.
This will give your body a chance to recover and prepare for the upcoming workouts.
Day 7: Rest
Rest is an important part of any fitness program. Day seven is a rest day. Take a break from workouts and allow your body to recover and rejuvenate itself. This will give you the energy you need to tackle the coming week of workouts.
