SIMPLYFIT 28-DAY PROGRAM 3

Workout StructureWe want you working out 5 times per week with two active rest days in between . Basically that means you’ll be moving your body every single day!

We’ve designed this program to be safe and effective for all levels . We’ve provided both low-impact and higher-impact modifications to all our strength training, so you can dial things up or turn them down depending on how you’re feeling that particular day .

Each week in the program you will have a suggested weekly workout schedule . This can be adjusted to fit your needs, but we want you to keep that same structure in mind: 2 days of cardio, 2 days of strength, 1 day of stretching/restorative and 2 active rest days .

Here’s what a typical week might look like

Again, feel free to change things up depending on your schedule!

Our strength training workouts are designed to be done virtually anywhere . No excuses . All you ever occasionally need is a bench or chair to step-up upon . If you have access to a gym, great! Feel free to add weights to your workout . But it’s not required . You’ll get a great workout with bodyweight in a park, playground, hotel room or in your living room . The key is to DO IT . Make it happen! You’ll see results, promise .

On the next page we will go into more depth about those exercises in particular .

HOW TO PLAN YOUR STRENGTH TRAINING WORKOUTS Here’s the scoop: we created six workout videos for you:

1 . Foam Rolling

2 . Movement Prep

3 . Legs

4 . Arms + Back

5 . Abs

6 . Walking Total Body Workout

We want you to do each video at least once per week . So at the end of four weeks together, you’ll have done each workout four times . This is your baseline . This is how you see progress, through consistency and repetition .

At first, we want you to get through each video ONCE . If you need to pause and rest, don’t sweat it! Proper form is king . To progress each week, you can either repeat each video during the same workout (i .e . two circuits of Leg Day exercises) or you can add dumbbells for an extra challenge . If you can get so you’re doing each circuit three times in a row during your workout, that’s awesome! These workouts were designed to be scalable to many different abilities, so be honest with yourself: are you pushing as hard as you can? We want you to be safe, always, but we also want you to test out your limits and build some sexy lean muscle, baby!

Since the workouts are relatively short, they are designed to be stacked together .
