DAYS 45-60

Do this workout 5-6 days per week—Weight training, Plyometrics / Multi-Movement and Cardio—to get the most results.

The FOCUS and CHANGES for days 45-60:

1. Integrating BARBELL EXERCISES into your circuit.
2. Longer PLYO / MULTI-MOVEMENT exercises. You now need to do them for 1 to 1 ½ minutes.
3. Repetitions. Do between 8-12 reps for each set.
4. ALTERNATE BETWEEN 3 DIFFERENT WORKOUTS.

Total workout time: Weight Training, Plyometrics/Multi-Movement and Cardio = 45-55 minutes.

Before you get started, here are a few quick tips and reminders.

-Bring water with you for your workout.

-Memorize the sequence of exercises for your circuit training WORKOUTS #1 #2 and #3. HINT – They are the same sequences you did for days 30-45.

WORKOUT #1 – 

Plyo/Multi-Movement, Leg exercise, Triceps exercise, Plyo/Multi-Movement, Leg exercise, Triceps exercise.

REST 90 seconds and do it ALL THREE more times. Total sets = 8 for each group (24 total).

– Plan out your route for the circuit. Know where the equipment is that you can use for your circuits before you begin, and be sure to have some options in case your preferred piece of equipment is not available.

Weight and Resistance Training – Adding / Focusing on BARBELLS and FREE WEIGHTS

You are going to continue doing circuit training, and separating the exercises and muscle groups into THREE different workouts that you alternate between.

REMINDER: REPS range for each set is 8-12 reps. If you can do more than 12 reps, increase the weight/resistance.

Try your best to use BARBELLS and FREE WEIGHTS, when available, for the majority of your circuit, but DO NOT hesitate to use DUMBBELLS, CABLE or WEIGHT MACHINES if the BARBELLS and FREE WEIGHTS you need are not readily available.

The less time you spend resting between each exercise, the better. Remember, you are not going to do consecutive sets on one muscle group. As soon as you complete one exercise, move on to the next. The quicker you move from one exercise to the next, the more calories and fat you can potentially burn.
