Intro

Welcome to the trial run of home workouts! I honestly don't know what I'm doing, so thanks for being a test dummy for me!

All of the workouts have been designed with Progressive Overload in mind, meaning that you increase your reps and/or weight every week (you. can also do both if you're comfortable with it!) The Warm Up's can also be used during the cool down if you want. It's all mobility work - stuff that we can do a million times and still benefit from it.

They're also set up in a circuit form. So very little to no rest in between. The goal is to keep your heart rate somewhat steady during the workout, and there is a rest period between every set. Obviously take breaks as needed, but the goal is to make it through all the work in a steady pace.

Slow and steady is the goal as well. All the exercises are meant to be done in a controlled fashion. Really focus on the mind-muscle connection. It's weird, but I promise it works.

I've only included 4 day weeks because rest is incredibly important. I know that i do better when I have a scheduled rest day. But if you're feeling super motivated, by all means do some extra work! Cardio days are great, yoga, mobility work...reall whatever you're vibing to.

As for nutrition, this will be the biggest part of any workout program. Fueling your body correctly is going to be the ONLY way to get what you want out of the programming. I feel like nutrition has been made out to be super complicated...and honestly it's not. It's incredibly simple. If you want to lose weight - consume less calories than you burn (calorie deficit). If you want to build muscle - eat more. Body recomp will happen pretty much on it's own once you start getting into a regukar routine of strength training. I always recommend eating whole foods (duh!) and making sure you're getting in enough protein (approx. 1g/kg of body weight). Carbs and fats are also super important to a balanced diet. I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know...but it never hurts to be reminded! Also drink a shit ton of water. Electrolytes are important for recovery and hydration is important for life in general!

If you have any questions....do not hesitate to reach me! You know where to find me and I'm always down to help!! Just because these workouts make sense in my head doesn't mean that they will to you!

I got you...and you've got this!
