Description: Cardio (Rest Day - Week 1)

While today is given as a rest day for your muscles, you can still perform cardio along with some light stretching and mobility. (See my program "Stretch & Mobility"  for more on this).

Ideally, cardio should be performed first thing in the morning before eating so your body burns more fat as fuel.

Choose a piece of cardio, such as an upright stationary bike, and perform at a level that is around 70-80% exertion (one that will push you but still allow you to maintain a conversation), for a total of 20 minutes.

If you have a heart rate monitor, keep notes on your activity and training zone to see how it changes over the coming weeks and months. It can be a great indicator to see how your fitness levels are improving.

Steady State Cardio (LISS)

Cardio (Rest Day - Week 1)

It was very clear instructions and the video was very helpful

Back & Forearms (Ep 1.1 - Strength)

I felt like it had some repeating shoulder exercise, but overall good

Liked the Ab workout in the end 

Especially the hanging Ab- great for chest stretch

Richard

Shoulders & Chest (Ep 1.3 - Strength)

I enjoyed this workout I did not have access to dumbbells for my level so I swapped out the calf dumbbell lifts for the hip abduction. Did not have access to standing calf raises machine so swapped for seated calf raises machine. Over all good directions.

Amadou Sow

Back & Forearms (Ep 2.1 Strength)

I could not get a smith machine so I opted for walking lunges instead if you run into the same problem I recommend walking lunges or in place lunges using dumbbells or weighted straight bar

Quads & Calves (Ep 2.2 - Strength)

The video was incorrect for the chest press first exercise

It was great. The workout video for the smith machine shoulder press is the wrong one though. It’s a leg press video. Other than that I love it

Ryan Baker

Shoulders & Chest (Ep 2.3 - Strength)

I felt like it did not include enough trap exercises.
