(A hundred day plan to completely transform your body)
Like most of you, I’ve been through the expensive
gym/yoga-studio period myself, until taking matters into my own hands (because honestly,
a dedicated personal trainer is still beyond most people’s budget) and trying
to figure out the best strategy to stay (or get) in shape. And that’s been amazing!
So, let me share what I have learned over the period of
last six years about setting up your own workout regime to your best advantage.
Developing a workout routine for yourself can be
intimidating, but it’s really not too difficult and kind of fun (and liberating
to say the least .. ) once you understand the basics.
Set Goals
Our goals usually fall into one of three categories:
Be Happy
Get Healthy and Fit
Feel comfortable in your own skin. (look good naked)
I like to refer to these three goals as the Triforce of
Awesome.
Happy, healthy, feeling comfortable in your own skin or
looking good naked.(There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look good naked)
Time Management
How much time can you devote to exercise?
If you can do an hour a day, that’s awesome but I
personally train for 40 minutes a day and 5 days a week. because I work out to
maintain stamina and endurance and of course my body! If we’re charting out
five days for workouts then two days are for rest and recovery.
Whatever your time commitment is, developing the most
efficient workout is crucial. Why spend two hours in a gym when you can get
just as much accomplished in 30 minutes, right? With this intense fat burning
routine, 30 to 50 minute of full body workout is perfect for burning a ton of
calories in a short period of time.
Consistency
The best workout is the one that you actually stick with,
and I can’t stress this enough that discipline is the ultimate key to most
satisfying results! Don’t make things FAR too complicated by target a bazillion
different individual muscles with six types of exercises for each body part.
It’s exhausting, unnecessary, inefficient, and
intimidating.
So keep it simple! Do less but do best (oh wow that’s
pretty catchy phrase I just delivered there) Slow and steady is your way
forward ladies not going overboard on day one and spending week nursing your
torn muscles or sprained ankles. Once you get confident, feel free to add
some variety. (Why? If you do the same exact routine, three days a week, for
months and months, you and your muscles might get bored, and you’ll stop
getting results.)
Let’s begin,
WARM UP (Read why its so important!)
Warming up your entire body raises your heart rate and
prepare your muscles, tendons, and joints for the workout to follow. Play the
music, start the timer and have fun!
DAY-1 ROUTINE
Initially repeat a day’s workout for at least a week for
a gentle introduction to the body and getting the hang of movements until you’re
able to execute your best on first day of every new routine.
- 4 sets - 50 repetitions of high-knees
- 4 sets - 8 to 10 repetitions of push-ups
- 4 sets - 10 to 12 repetitions of squats
- 4 sets - 25 repetitions of jumping-jacks
- 4 sets - 10 to 12 repetitions of reverse-crunches
STATIC STRETCHES (Read why its so important!)
Relax your muscles and make the most out of stretch while
your body is still feeling lithe and nimble to gradually lower the exertion.
Be sincere and give your best to see how your body
responds. But don’t neglect your diet, I don’t endorse starving or just liquids
diets but I do stress that we should watch what we eat! Stuffing your face
every time you pass kitchen or restaurant would be equally counterproductive.
Just be conscious of portions (the smaller your meal portion is, the more
satisfying results would be) And that’s your 90% of the battle!
Cheat-days: Eat great, don’t miss a workout, all and all
just stay on track throughout the week. So when the weekend hits, that's where
cheat day comes in! Go treat yourself with "moderate" serving of cake/pizza/burger
or any calories-loaded delight you’ve been craving for.
