This workout program was made with efficiency in mind. We all have busy lives and not all of us have the time to work out for two hours nor do we need to work out for that long to work towards our goals. These workouts should take around 45 minutes, depending on how much rest time you give yourself. If you want to reduce time further, you can join two exercises together (superset) to reduce time. You will notice on the spreadsheet there are two empty slots titled “Weight (lbs)” and “Comments from workout- Client”. This is for your reference so that you can log your progress. Ideally, you should be making some form of progress each week whether that is adding a repetition or two or adding weight per exercise even if it is 2.5 pounds. If you find that you are not making some form of progress, evaluate your intensity and your nutrition.
You will also notice in the workout program that from weeks 1-4 the exercises are very similar as well as weeks 5-8. This is because you want to be able to track your progress. If you did something different every week or every other week it will be difficult to measure the progress that has been made. This will allow you to perfect your form and slowly increase the weight or repetitions (progressive overload).
Although it is important you are doing your part in the gym, it is equally important, if not more, to have your food intake adjusted toward your goal. I recommend using the app MyFitnessPal as it is the most used food-tracking app and it is free. As a general rule of thumb, if you want to lose weight, you may want to be in a 500 calorie deficit of maintenance. If you want to gain weight you want to increase your daily calories by 500 above maintenance.
