Pre Workout Warm Up and Post Workout Cool Down – On All Workout Days

If any of the following areas tend to be tight on you, or if you have some soreness from your workouts, take the time to foam roll both before and after your workout.

Before your workout you should FOAM ROLL AFTER the cardio warm-up described on your program (normally a duration of about 5-10 mins). Once done foam rolling, you can commence your program. Finish with foam rolling at the end of your workouts as well.

For each of the exercises below perform the number of reps indicated to the right. We will start with a super high rep number, and then go down with each 2 exercises. The intensity will INCREASE for each of these exercises as we go on. So we do the movement that doesn’t take as much power and coordination as our first exercise, and as we progress, the exercises get increasingly more difficult. Be sure to use a weight that will CHALLENGE YOU FOR EVERY SET – ALMOST TO FATIGUE. If you need to break up the set and do a selective rest in between every few reps, that’s fine. So for the KB Swing you can do let’s say 25, rest for 10-20 secs, then complete the rest. Or you can do 10, 10, 10, 20, resting in between ONLY IF NEEDED AND FOR AS LITTLE TIME AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.
