Notes:

*The purpose of this program is to build the habit and confidence required to pursue your health and fitness goals.

*This is an extremely beginner workout routine. After completing 2-4 weeks of this you will need to move on to more intense and tougher workout routines.

*ALL workouts can be done at ANY commercial gym. If you’re limited on equipment and can’t perform some of the workouts, DM me for alternatives or utilize Google.

*Unfortunately, I can’t be there to train you. YouTube, Google, TikTok, etc. “how to do (insert workout here)”. Feel free to DM me though.

*If 12-15 rep sets aren’t challenging, then move up in the weight you’re using until you come across a weight that provides difficulty in those last 2-3 reps of each set.

*If you’re choosing to do the program for 3-4 weeks, add extra sets, add extra cardio, see how heavy you can go with some of your favorite workouts.


THIS PROGRAM SHOULD ONLY BE DONE FOR 2 TO 4 WEEKS MAX! YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CHALLENGING YOURSELF AND UNDERSTANDING YOUR BODY! TAKE THIS TIME TO DO THAT! THEN, YOU WILL FOCUS ON MORE DIFFICULT ROUTINES RESULTING IN THE ACCOMPLISHING OF YOUR GOALS!


THIS IS JUST THE STEPPINGSTONE!
