Tips Before Starting 1. If you are unsure of how to do an exercise, be sure to get instruction from a certified trainer. 2. If something hurts or feels off, don t do that exercise. There are plenty of alternates that you can add in. Please feel free to email dennis (at) hiitburn (dot) com for ideas or see the Exercise Library manual for alternative exercises. 3. Because this is a new program, be sure to start slow to avoid injury. Pushing too hard after not working out for a while will only lead to injury or being overly sore. 4. If you find you need more rest in between exercises, take it. Over the course of the program, you should work on shortening your rest periods. 5. This program is demanding so if going three days per week is too much, start by going 2 days a week with your others days being active rest days (walking, hiking, etc.). 6. Always warm up properly. Be sure you are fully warmed up before starting your workouts. 7. Use a foam roll and stretch consistently. This will greatly help with eliminating soreness throughout the program. 8. Get good rest. You must allow your body to recover from your workouts so be sure you are getting good sleep. 9. Drink lots of water. This will keep you hydrated and allow you to lose fat more easily. 10. Have a cool down period at the end of each workout that includes stretching and foam rolling. http://bodyweightshred.com/ 4
21-Day Accelerator Workouts All you will need for these workouts over the next 3-weeks is your own bodyweight and an interval timer which you can find for free on your Smart Phone or Tablet, or online at GymBoss.com. For each workout, be sure you are fully warmed up and ready to go before starting. For all workouts over the next three weeks, you should perform this short warm-up before starting... 21-Day Accelerator Warm-Up Perform each exercise below for 20-seconds with no rest in between. Rest 20-seconds between full rounds and complete 2 TOTAL rounds. Alternating Front Lunges Pushups Bodyweight Squats T-Pushups Run-in-Place Rest 20-seconds and repeat 1 more time for a total of 2 rounds. Once you are finished with the warm-up, move into your workout as seen below. A few keys to remember... 1. If you need to take more rest than what it says, do so. Form is VERY important when doing these workouts. Be sure you are pushing yourself, but if form is breaking down then you need to rest. 2. If an exercise is too hard, use a easier variation. There are dozens of variation exercises that you can add in to fit your fitness level. So listen to your body. 3. Don't skip workouts. This is just 21-days! Commit to the plan and get it done. If you feel you are ready to go, let's dive into week number one... http://bodyweightshred.com/ 5
