A Simple Six Step Framework That Will Simplify Exercising For Weight Loss, Make it less Overwhelming and Easier For Beginners To Stick To.
Most people over complicate exercise.
Especially beginners that think they need to train four or five times a week following intense, complicated, and ‘advanced’ workout routines to achieve results.
In reality, consistent, moderate exercise is much more effective.
Here’s an example of what a beginners weekly workout routine should look like;
- Step 1. Thirty minutes of walking every day.
- Step 2. Two muscle strengthening workouts a week, focusing on multi-joint free-weight exercises.
- Step 3. Two muscle stretching sessions done before/after strength training to maintain joint mobility and range of motion.
A simple program like this will build strength, stamina and mobility.
You’ll feel better, lose weight, and more importantly, you’ll lay a solid foundation upon which you can start to build a more challenging workout routine.
Once you’ve made this exercise routine a consistent habit, you can then focus on progressing to;
- Step 4. Three twenty-five minute ‘cardio’ sessions per week.
- Step 5. Three muscle strengthening workouts a week, focusing on multi and single joint exercises.
- Step 6. Three muscle stretching sessions done before/after strength training to improve joint mobility and range of motion.
Steps 4-6 can all be done in just one sixty minute session, performed three times per week.
The key to success?
With every action you take, figure out which one of these steps you are stuck at.
And then make a plan to progress to the next level.
