Body Sculpt - Phase 1

Get started today!

The Body Sculpt Program is designed for the busy female who needs an efficient and effective program to meet their aesthetic and performance related goals. This program has been tested on my in-person clients and has been proven to tone/tighten “problem areas,” improve strength and reduce injury. This full body program can be done at home, in a gym or even on the road in a hotel gym. Phase One consists of 3 full body workouts per week for a total of 4 weeks. It only requires a flat bench and some dumbbells. If you don’t have a flat bench you can refer to my FAQ section for alternative exercises. It is done in circuit style fashion to save on time and keep your heart rate elevated throughout the workout. Unlike most online programs, the body sculpt program evolves throughout each week to continually challenge you and force your body to adapt. The first week of phase one will lay the groundwork and build the foundation for whats to come. By utilizing progressive overload, the reps, weight, number of sets and exercise difficulty will change as your body adapts to the program. This will allow you to continually progress and reach goals that you previously thought were unattainable! The exercises and exercise sequences of this program is tailor made for females to target and improve common problem areas such as the glutes/legs, abs and upper body. Its a balanced program that will also improve posture and functional strength. It wont just make you look better, but it will also make you stronger and feel better in your everyday life! Once you have completed phase one, you will be ready to challenge yourself even further and attack the advanced phase two program!

About Brian Albrecht

Online personal trainer

Hey Guys! I’m Brian Albrecht and I can’t wait to help you accomplish your goals! My love for fitness began when I was a freshman in high school and aspired to be a D1 college football player. After college I decided to pursue fitness as a career while also becoming a state record holding powerlifter. After Accomplishing my personal goals I realized what really drives me is helping others reach theirs. Over the last 10 years I have helped clients become professional athletes, transformed actors physiques to play various roles in major movies/shows on HBO/Netflix/Cbs/Bravo/HGTV/Comedy Central and helped musicians perform and look awesome on stage! With my experience and knowledge with exercise programming/nutrition/anatomy I’ve also helped hundreds of clients of various ages/backgrounds reach their physique,performance and health goals. The Programs on this app will include the exact workouts that my clients have used to transform their bodies for various roles or personal goals. I use a science based approach with tried and true methods that will have you losing fat, building muscle, preventing injury and help you live a longer/happier life. These programs will include options for beginners and also advanced athletes. Don’t have access to equipment or a gym? Don’t sweat it (yet). I’ll include programs that are bodyweight only and also dumbbell only workouts. I will also be adding weekly routines targeting specific muscle groups! Thank you for choosing me to help you reach your goals. Lets get started!

Frequently asked questions

I don’t own a bench? What should I do?
No problem! Here are some variations you can do that dont require a bench! DB Kickbacks- You can do these in a bent over position with your free arm rested on your thighs. You can also support your arm on a stable surface and perform the exercise in a standing position. Just make sure to keep your back nice and straight throughout! Step Ups- You can swap these out for a Split Squat. Hold the dumbbell at your chest, spread your feet 2-3 feet apart in a staggered stance, bend your knees so that your back knee comes within a few inches from the ground, and return straight up to the starting position. Make sure to stay upright throughout with a flat back. Chest Press- Lie down on the ground with your knees bent and arms extended, then lower your elbows until they gently touch the floor. Press the weight straight over your chest to complete the rep. Box Squat- Perform a regular squat without the bench. Db Rows- You can perform these similar to the position used with the dumbbell kickbacks. In a bent over position with a flat back, or leaning with your free hand supported on a stable surface such as a chair, couch, wall etc. Db Tricep Extensions- Perform these laying on the ground instead. Lateral Step Ups- Swap these for lateral lunges. Hold the db at your chest with your feet together. Take a big step to you right or left while keeping both feet flat and facing forward. Then set your hips back and down until one knee is about 90 degrees and the other is straight. Then apply force into the ground to propel yourself back to starting position with your feet together. Be sure to keep a flat back throughout!
How much weight should I start with?
Do the first round with light weights, weights that your certain you can do. You could even do the lower body exercises with just your bodyweight when your getting started. If after this first round the weight is way too light and you know you can go much heavier, just consider it a warmup round and dont count it. Ideally, you want to use weights during your “working sets” that are challenging but not necessarily taking you to complete failure. If a set calls for 10 reps and you could complete 17-20 plus reps with that weight, its too light. If your failing at 10 or less reps, then you need to lighten the weight. You want the last few reps of each set to be pretty challenging. Strive to find a weight for each exercise that you would only have a few reps left in “the tank” for. As your body adapts throughout the program, youll get stronger and be able to add more weight during the exercises. Keep in mind that your form is most important, never compromise your form just to add more weight to an exercise. Trust the process, your strength will come!
How long should I rest between exercises?
Rest periods will vary depending on your current level of conditioning. This program is designed to have little rest periods between exercises and a longer rest period (couple minutes) between each round. During the first workout or two, take as much time as needed to recover between exercises. As your conditioning improves, you can shorten these rest periods so that your only allowing yourself to recover enough to perform the ensuing exercise with perfect execution. That rest period might be as short as the time it takes to change the weight. If your handling heavier weights you might need a little more time to recover between exercises. If you don’t have heavier weights you can limit your rest periods to challenge yourself.
I’ve got an injury and I can’t perform one or more of the exercises in the program. What should I do?
The most important thing is to not push through an injury. If an exercise is painful or just doesn’t feel right, reach out to me directly and I can give you an alternative exercise. In the meantime, you can skip that exercise or replace it with one that works a similar muscle group but isnt causing you any pain or discomfort.
What if I don’t have heavy enough weights?
If your not able to purchase heavier dumbbells or utilize a gym, you can add reps to the exercises that you need more weight for. You can also go at a quicker pace since you won’t need as much recovery time. Some additional options include: adding pauses at the bottom of the reps or performing the reps slower (ex: 5 seconds to lower the weight).
What do I do if I have to miss a week?
If your sick or going on a vacation etc, just resume the plan where you left off. Don’t skip a workout or jump ahead a week. Each week builds off of the prior week so jumping ahead is not ideal.
I need to train on back to back days sometimes. What should I do?
Ideally you would like a rest day in between exercises during the Phase One plan. If this isn’t possible you might just need to lower the weights on the 2nd day to account for the shorter recovery time.
How can I contact you with any questions I may have?
Message me in the app for any questions you have. I’d love to hear from you!
What Equipment do I need to follow this program?
A flat bench and dumbbells!
When should I perform these workouts?
You can perform these workouts at your convenience. Since it is 3x per week, it would be ideal to space the workouts out so that you have a day or two of rest in between each workout. This will allow your body time to recover.
