Monday, December 07, 2009 Fitness plan

Email E-mail Print Print

Warm Up/Prep
5 minutes

Circuit 1
1 ) Modified Push-up
3 sets of 8
A modified version of the regular push-up. This one still forces you to use your core muscles.
2 ) Wall Squat
3 sets of 1
1 minutes
This exercise helps you build strength in your quads and develop your form to prepare you for performing a full squat.
3 ) Jumping Jacks
3 sets of 1
1 minutes
This is an excellent form of cardio that you can perform anywhere.


Circuit 2
1 ) Dumbbell Chest Fly
3 sets of 10
Grab some dumbbells and perk up your pecs!
2 ) Squats
3 sets of 1
1 minutes
This basic move emphasizes strengthening your quads and glutes.
3 ) Jumping Jacks
3 sets of 1
1 minutes
This is an excellent form of cardio that you can perform anywhere.


Circuit 3
1 ) Bench Dip
3 sets of 8
Use a chair or a bench, and your own body weight, to work your triceps.
2 ) Lying Leg Raises
3 sets of 10
Lying Leg Raises emphasize the lower abs.
3 ) Jumping Jacks
3 sets of 1
1 minutes
This is an excellent form of cardio that you can perform anywhere.


Circuit 4
1 ) Lateral Shoulder Raises
3 sets of 10
This move helps get rid of sloping shoulders and builds muscle so that your arms look smaller.
2 ) Basic Crunch
3 sets of 10
Isolate those abs! As the name suggests, this is one of the most basic of all of the crunches.
3 ) Jumping Jacks
3 sets of 1
1 minutes
This is an excellent form of cardio that you can perform anywhere.


Circuit 5
1 ) Dumbbell Triceps Extension
3 sets of 10
By lowering and raising the dumbbells behind the head, this exercise creates definition in the back of your arms.
2 ) Scissors
3 sets of 10
Two for the price of one! Scissors work the lower abs as well as inner thighs.
3 ) Jumping Rope
3 sets of 1
1 minutes
This is an outstanding form of cardio in terms of calorie burning and toning quads, hamstrings, and calves.

Echo, this is my plan for today do 5 min warm up, and 5 min cool down

I have a different plan everyday except Wednesday and Sunday(my rest days), I will post each day here

I should also tell you that is the the level 1 beginning fitness plan as I knew that her workouts were tough, so I choose the beginning level. As you can see, I think I made the right choice

Want six-pack abs? This is a full-on abdominal routine that works the rectus abdominus, internal and external obliques, and transverse abs.
