1 90 Day Challenge Transformation Week 5

3 HOW TO USE YOUR WORKOUT PLAN This program is PROGRESSIVE. The workouts get more challenging each week, allowing you to build your strength, endurance, confidence and see amazing results. One of the best parts of this program is that you can be very flexible with the amount of time you are putting into the workout. Each workout can be made into a 5,, or minute circuit, depending on how many rounds you do. If you are a BEGINNER, focus on absolutely crushing rounds*. *The moves may be challenging to perform for a full minute, so take any of the modifications suggested in this document. Do as much as you can of each move - for example if holding plank for a minute is too much, hold it for 0:0 or as long as you can, then rest for the remainder of that move and continue to the next move with the video. You can also pause the video anytime and take more rest. If you are INTERMEDIATE, go for rounds*. It s absolutely fine to pause the video and take more rest between moves, or to stop after 0:0-0:45 of a move and rest until the next move starts. Remember that pushing yourself to your maximum is what helps you build strength - you are not doing it wrong by not doing the entire minute every time. You will get the opportunity to repeat the moves and you ll see your body adapt and get stronger! If you are ADVANCED go for -4 rounds*. Rest as needed between moves and rounds. Open the Challenge Calendar you are planning to follow. They are organized by Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. If you think you are a certain fitness level and start with that calendar, you can always dial it back down one level if you find that you are extremely sore, don t have enough energy for the next workout, or need more rest. Vice versa, if you start with a specific calendar and find you still have energy, are not really sore or just want to try more, go for the level above. The main difference between these calendars is how many days you will be working out and your fitness level (and time available) will dictate how many rounds you should do.

4 If you are short on time, it s ALWAYS better to rock out an intense short circuit in the time you have (even one round giving max effort) than skipping your workout. Don t fall victim to the trap of thinking If I can t do the full workout, I can t work out. That s a great way to get way off track with your fitness. You will have foundational workouts each week, workout A and workout B. They are listed on your calendar where you should do them along with the rounds suggested. Workout C is a unique specialty workout each week that compliments the plan you will add in where listed on your calendar, usually added on to the end of either Workout A or B. You have demonstration videos to follow, as well as the pictures and written form tips in this guide. It s absolutely fine to include other workouts with this program, swap your workout days and rest days around as long as you are fully resting and recovering. Here s a great article to help you with figuring out the appropriate amount of rest you need. One of the most important thing you will be doing in this program is COMBINING your fitness with the nutrients you re putting in your body so pay attention to eating balanced meals, staying hydrated and getting rest while you re following the plan! #makefatcryfitness #noexcuses #rockyourbody The Betty Rocker Inc All Rights Reserved 4

8 Week 5 Workout A 4 Take a smaller step back, and don t lunge as deeply. Pace yourself as you lift and lower. You can also do walking lunges, or simple alternating leg lunges, as the stationary lunge aims to target one side of the glutes and quads and fatigue them before switching. Alternating will still give you a great workout, but will make it slightly easier to complete as the muscle will get a mini break between each movement. Hold a wall or chair back for support with one hand if you re having any trouble balancing. Alternating Reverse Lunge with 4-Count Pulse Begin standing, with feet hip distance apart. Take one step behind you with your left foot forward (), dropping into reverse lunge (). Elevate the right/back heel. Find balance between the front foot toe and the back foot toe.

Try to really work with your arms as you press yourself back and forth from moves If you press with your legs, you ll feel a LOT of burn after move. 4 5 If the push slide is too challenging, or you need to take a break in the middle of your set, try going back and forth between moves + - which is pressing between plank and downward dog. Remember you can also go back to the Week push slide. You can also just HOLD PLANK. Do this if you need a break and still have a little more to give. You are working, regardless. It s absolutely fine to pause and come back in with any move. THE POINT is to be challenged and to get stronger :) These are tough for me too! A final modification if plank is too much weight to put on your shoulders/wrists is to do pushups against the wall or a countertop, standing. The farther out you bring your feet, the harder it will be. The Betty Rocker Inc All Rights Reserved 5

It can be helpful if you do this beside a wall or table to help with your balance. Just hold onto the wall or maintain a light contact with it to help you. Don t rush. I do a lot of unilateral movements in my exercise program regularly and it is very important to work on form with these before speed Exercises like this challenge multiple muscles at the same time and will give you a total body burn! If adding the kick makes you lose your balance, take it out and just do alternating reverse lunges. Try going back to Week and drive with your knee, or kick lower. If dragon/curtsy lunges bother your knees, do a regular reverse lunge, where you step back directly behind you like we did in Week. If adding the kick makes you lose your balance, take it out and just do alternating reverse lunges. Try going back to the Week variation and drive with your knee, or kick lower. If dragon/curtsy lunges bother your knees, do a regular reverse lunge, where you step back directly behind you like we did in Week with Coach Erin. The Betty Rocker Inc All Rights Reserved 6

17 Week 5 Workout B 4 Active Bicycles Start seated, chest up, chin lifted, with your legs extended straight at a 45 degree angle. This is a boat pose, and holding this alone can be challenging!

Week 5 Workout B 5 Cross Body Mountain Climbers Beginner to Intermediate Start in a tall plank position, with your shoulders stacked over your wrists and your arms straight ().

18 Week 5 Workout B 5 Cross Body Mountain Climbers Beginner to Intermediate Start in a tall plank position, with your shoulders stacked over your wrists and your arms straight (). Keep your upper body in a straight line. Don t let your lower back sag. Keep your hips as low as you can as you begin to run in place, bringing your right knee up and across toward your left elbow (). Repeat with your left leg (). Go at a pace you can sustain push yourself but if you start to get tired, slow down the pace. Find a comfortable breathing rhythm and pace. Doing mountain climbers for a minute is tough as you start to tire, stop running and simply alternate your knees to chest until you can give it another run burst. You can also take a brief break and hold plank. It s okay if your hips start to lift, but try to keep them down as much as you can for the full duration. For your wrists, use the soft fist example from above to take a little pressure off the wrists, or hold light dumbbells. You can also STAND and perform cross body high knees to get some core burn without being on your wrists or shoulders at all. The Betty Rocker Inc All Rights Reserved 8

is back in your HEELS (). Very important. You want to make sure your knees are tracking in line with your toes, and also not going over them.

19 Week 5 Workout B 6 Skinny Sumo From a standing position, bring your arms out in front of you for balance, or up to your chin like me (). 4 Jump up and land softly in a sumo squat chest is lifting (look at the pictures in the bottom collage to see how Coach Tyler and I both keep your chest up in side view), back is flat and your weight is back in your HEELS (). Very important. You want to make sure your knees are tracking in line with your toes, and also not going over them. In the picture, you can see that I go deeper in my squat than Coach Tyler. I m just more flexible. Do the right depth of a squat that is RIGHT FOR YOU that allows you to maintain proper form. Jump up again (), this time landing in a regular squat feet hip distance apart (4). Your toes may turn out slightly this is fine, just try to keep them mostly parallel. Land softly on every jump. Keep your head up, try not to look down. Continue to jump in and out between sumo squats and regular squats. The jump is what will burn you out - so if you start to get winded, I want you to do a regular body squat, step out to the side and do a sumo squat. Step in and do a body squat, then step to the other side and do another sumo squat. This will allow you to work those muscles and keep going. You can come back into the jump again when you get your breath back. The Betty Rocker Inc All Rights Reserved 9

21 WEEK 5 WORKOUT C C: Bonus Lower Abs Format: Perform for prescribed reps, - rounds total. All of these moves are performed with a starting position of plank. Plank Form: stack your shoulders above your wrists, keep your core engaged and don t let your back arch. Try not to look down, keep your gaze slightly in front of you. Keep your hips low for all moves aside from the pike. FOCUS on keeping your core engaged if you were on your back, your lower back would be pressed into the mat or floor this is the same form simply flipped over. Keep that core engaged by imagining an invisible glass ceiling that your lower back is pressed into. This will allow you to fully engage your abdominals and maximize the effectivenessa of these moves at the same time protecting your lower back. MODS: You can prop your upper body on the side of the couch and just work your legs; you can come onto soft fists to take the pressure off your wrists on the floor, or you can come down onto your elbows if that s more comfortable, and try out moves,, 4 and 5 on your knees first if on your toes is too challenging. Maintain straight body lines regardless of your modification. Single Leg Knee Slides (0 each side) Double Knee Slides (0) Pike Slides (5-0 Advanced!)
