We will also incorporate lots of walking - every day in fact. Plus running and some cardio routines. I want you to do light cardio in the morning because we're aiding the 'fasted state' our body is in, making it burn more fat. Week 2 The second week is all about cardio and training body endurance. Again I urge you to walk every morning, sometimes we're going to run. Aim to increase walking where possible, it's one of the easiest exercises and safest exercises to do and it all counts.

Again Sunday is a rest day and a cheat day, so you can relax and enjoy a cheat meal of your choice. Week 3 For the third week, well be focusing on stretching and flexibility. Never stretch further than where your body aches, as this is about relaxing and working out any tightness in your body. This is also where we calm the mind before the storm. Each day try to extend yourself further and holding your stances longer. 3 Weeks Cycle revisited Weeks 4 6 One of the important things about a workout schedule is to be consistent. 3 Weeks Cycle revisited Weeks 4 6 One of the important things about a workout schedule is to be consistent.

Consistency is king. Consistency will be with difference between you and the next guy. So for the latter 3 weeks, well go over the same schedule. Week 4 will be Weights, week 5 will be Cardio, and week 6 will be Yoga. The important difference is that these sessions will require you to do more than the original week. On the other hand, if you keep doing the same exercises for a long period of time, your body will adapt and, while there may be big initial gains (muscle) and losses (fat), these will then come much more slowly with the same workout.

So changes are built in. Supersets to Size If you're unfamiliar with Supersets- they are two exercises working opposite muscles. They are time-efficient method of training that we'll be using and also more intense. By doing sets back-to-back, you reduce your total workout time while still doing the same amount of total work. Super setting is fantastic for pummeling antagonistic muscles - Back/Biceps, Chest/Triceps, Back/Chest and Biceps/Triceps and legs Hams/Glutes. Supersets increase Lactic Acid production, which helps boost Growth Hormone (GH) levels in the body.

The body responds to the reduced pH (increased acidity) in the body from the production of Lactic Acid by secreting GH. GH is a powerful fat loss hormone. Power and Intensity We will be building muscle endurance which will therefore build strength and conditioning. This is done using tempo. By this I mean a 1 second pull/push/ on a given move - POWERFUL and with FORCE - and then under perfect control a 4 second release. The muscles are still working all the way.

So we are changing the tempo, the speed of either the concentric (shortening) or eccentric (lengthening) component of the lift. There is no 'resting' at the bottom of any move. As soon as you are as close to the bottom of the move - you POWER back up for the 1 second concentric and again release for 4 second eccentric under your complete control. You must have heard of the term TUT - Time Under Tension - there are a number of variations on the term, they all mean the same. It is the time your actual muscle is lifting or lowering under stress. You may find that you're actually only working your muscles for 5 minutes in an hour workout! With the 1 second concentric and 4 second eccentric move with no rest we work the muscle much harder for longer.
