Great Sunday to you!

I hope you’re weekend is going great and you’ve already hit your cardio goals.  If not, you still have time to get some work done.  We were short on minutes this week so please plan accordingly.  Here are some fun & creative ideas to get these extra minutes in.

Example:

Choose between 12min of :

  • Insert Last Name family walk before or after a meal
  • Skipping rope/planking at half time (1min rope, 30sec plank, 8 rounds)
  • 12 different movement prep exercises (50:10) should cover it.

Of course if you have more than 12 minutes in then you must do the work.  Remember, the habit (time) of investing in your health will be given back in self-confidence, quality of life, longevity of life, a** kicking and more!

Next week is empowerment week and since Frankenstorm is coming its perfect timing for do anywhere workouts.  You’ve got 3 tough challenging workouts.  Day 1 you’ll follow along with a guest exerciser.  Day 2 is possibly the fastest and hardest challenge workout and Day 3 uses only bands and is probably the sweatiest, though both Day 2 and 3 had me hands on knees.

In any event, remember if you train like no one else, you’ll get to live like no one else.  Halloween kicks off holiday season weight gain and the habits of getting workouts done, eating like a fit person and living like an active person are the ultimate antidotes.

Empower Week Plan

Next week is Empower Week.  You can choose to do cardio only if you’re feeling beat up and your body needs to rest, but if you’re feeling great, ready to go and you don’t want to stop, then the Challenge Week Workouts are your best decision, though it’s also a great time to do the Ab Workout, the Workout D beach workout, the travel workout or the 4 Week Fat Loss Jump Start workout.  It doesn’t matter, just get it done.

Empower Week Option #1: no strength training, do empower week cardio goal only and other recreational activities.

Empower Week Option #2: do some strength training (decrease total work volume by 50%), do regular cardio goal and other recreational activities

Strength Training Example:  1-3 challenge workouts, but only 10min of strength challenge, ½ the conditioning challenge and the Finisher can be optional; also you can choose your own strength training option like a class, 4 Week Fat Loss Jump Start Program, Hotel Travel Workout Routine or other.  Remember to decrease training volume.  Easiest way to do this is to train strength for ONLY 10-minutes, 1-3x/wk instead of 20minutes, 1-3x/wk.

Empower Week Option #3:  strength train, do cardio goal with other recreational activities optional.

Strength Training Example:  1-3 Full Challenge Workouts, 4 Week Fat Loss Jump Start Workout, Hotel Travel Workout Routine, a class or other strength training option.
