The Workouts
20 Minute Better Body Workout
Frequency: 3 Days Per Week (M-W-F) Time: About 20 Minutes
Start by performing one set of each exercise. Warm up with a light resistance exercise that you can perform easily for 5 -10
reps without fatiguing. Focus on practicing and learning your technique before increasing the resistance. Then move to a more
challenging resistance you can perform for no less than 10 reps and no more than 15 reps without your form deteriorating. As
you become stronger, you can advance to two sets for each exercise. Complete all sets of each exercise before moving on to
the next. Rest 30 to 45 seconds between sets. Move slowly on each rep. Use a pace that will allow you to stop the movement
instantly at any point in the rep. Count three seconds up and three seconds down and work to fatigue during each set.
Advanced General Conditioning
Frequency: 4 Days Per Week (M-T-TH-F) Time: About 35-45 Minutes
When you are proficient in performing the exercise techniques of the above routine and are no longer realizing results, or if
you become bored, it is time to change your program. You can increase your training with this “split system” routine that works
opposing muscle groups on different days. To do this, you’ll increase your resistance when you can perform 12 reps perfectly,
and you’ll increase your volume by performing more sets and more exercises. Move slowly on each rep. Use a pace that will
allow you to stop the movement instantly at any point in the rep. Count three seconds up and three seconds down and work to
fatigue during each set.
