Love Yourself Lean 5-Day Slim Down Workout Plan How To Use The Workout STEP 1 Schedule your workouts in advance. Before your busy week starts, get out your weekly planner and block out time just for YOU to get your workouts in. This is the best investment of time you can make. STEP 3 Before you dive into these workouts please take the time to WATCH the Technique Demos for each exercise, so you can feel confident that you are preforming the exercises correctly and safely. STEP 2 Use the Sample Weekly Training Schedule provided as your guide to planning your workouts for the week. However, remember this is just a sample of what your week might look like. Be sure to follow a workout schedule that works best for your busy schedule. For example, if you can t perform an AM and PM workout each day, you can combine the AM & PM sessions. OR if you have to miss one AM cardio only session add 15min to two additional mornings. The BEST times/days to workout is when its BEST for YOU! The plan has to support your lifestyle so you can commit to consistently! STEP 4 Print out the workouts and be sure to log your weight selections and how well you preformed each workout. For example, were you able to complete each cardio blast for the full? Or did you have to stop after 15sec? Did you do all push-ups from your toes? What dumbbell weight did you use for the Goblet Squats? Make sure to record as much as you can so you can track your process as you continue to enjoy these workouts long after the 5-Day Slim Down. 2
STEP 5 Pace yourself! If you are new to this style of exercise or haven t completed a workout in a while, start by completing 1-2 rounds of each circuit and build up to completing all three rounds of each circuit. Set your cardio bursts to 15sec and work your way up to. EQUIPMENT YOU WILL NEED THIS MONTH: Exercise Mat Stability Ball 2 Sets of Dumbbells lighter set 5 lbs heavier set 15lbs 3
Slim Down Workout Guidelines: Each workout day is broken down into four Giant Circuits; One Core Only Circuit and Three Full Body Circuits. Each Full Body Circuit is followed by a Cardio Blast. The exercises in each circuit are preformed consecutively, for the prescribed number of repetitions. After you have completed one round of all three exercises in that circuit, you are to perform the Cardio Blast. Take a 60-90sec recovery, then repeat the circuit 2-3 times before moving onto the next Giant Circuit. The number of times you complete each circuit will depend on your fitness and energy levels, in addition to how much time you have. It s better to complete a 20min workout than to skip it all together, just because you don t have the full 40min. Your workout should flow like this WARM-UP Core Circuit preform all exercises back-to-back for or -15 reps; repeat 2-3x without rest.
