Week 4:
The main premise of the Fit 5 workout is to give you an intense calorie-burning workout that can help you get in the best shape of your life in just 30 minutes per workout. But the program has other benefits. Did you know that according to John Ratey, Harvard Medical School psychiatrist, “exercise is the single best thing you can do for your brain in terms of mood, memory and learning.” So let’s burn some calories and at the same time do something positive for our mind!
Please enjoy this week’s workout and continue to join me every week from now through the end of March.
Each workout is designed to last 30 minutes and is developed so each individual can exercise at his or her own pace. Each exercise should be performed to failure (when you feel as though you can’t complete even one more rep), or to the max number of reps listed. For example, if the exercise is squat jumps and lists a max of 50 reps, you should do as many reps as possible up to 50. If you complete 10 reps and find that you can’t do another rep while maintaining good form, then simply move on to the next exercise. If you can complete all 50 with good form, do so and then move to the next exercise.
If you get through all 5 exercises in less than 30 minutes (which should be the case), repeat the cycle until the 30 minutes is up.
Please note: Before adopting any new exercise routine, you should consult your physician.
