Welcome to Day 2 of Week 2 of our Body Transformation Journey! By now, you should be feeling a lot more motivated and committed to your goals.
Warm up
To start off, we recommend a 10-minute warm-up to get your muscles loose and ready for exercise. For this, you can do some light cardio like jogging on the spot or jumping jacks.
Strength Training
Today is all about strength training. This type of exercise will help you build muscle and burn fat. Here are some exercises you can do:.
Squats: Exercise #1
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Squat down, pushing your hips back and bending your knees. Make sure your knees don’t go over your toes. Stand back up and repeat 10-15 times. Do 3 sets.
Lunges: Exercise #2
Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Step one foot forward and bend your front knee at a 90-degree angle. Your back leg should be straight behind you. Push back up and switch legs. Do 10-15 reps on each leg for 3 sets.
Push-Ups: Exercise #3
Get into a plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart on the ground. Lower your body by bending your elbows until they’re at a 90-degree angle. Push back up and repeat for 10-15 reps for 3 sets.
Exercise #4: Dumbbell Rows
Hold a dumbbell in one hand. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and bend forward, keeping your back straight. Lift the dumbbell to your chest, keeping your elbow close to your body. Lower it down and repeat. Do 10-15 reps on each arm for 3 sets.
Cardio
Finish off your workout with 10-15 minutes of cardio. You can do any type of cardio you like such as running, cycling, or jumping jacks.
Cool-down
Don’t forget to cool down after your workout. This will help decrease the risk of injury and prevent muscle soreness. Do some light stretching for about 5 minutes.
Conclusion
Done for the day! Make sure to rest up and recover for tomorrow’s workout. Remember to stay committed and motivated to your goals.
