FDF Phase 2 Week 1 Day 1
FDF Phase 2 Week 1 Day 1
Plan Recommendations
The goal of todays workout is to improve full body strength and add lean muscle. This type of workout will help turn your body into a fat burning machine by
optimizing our metabolism despite the caloric deficit (mainly coming from the diet). Normally cutting calories will hinder our metabolism, but full body strength
training helps combat that slowing of the metabolism.
Todays cardio will be Zone 5, which is 90-100% of our max heart rate. This high of an intensity should only be used by people with high levels of fitness. As
always in this program, listen to YOUR BODY and adjust the program as needed. At the end of the Zone 5 cardio I want you to feel tired on a 8 or 9 out of 10
scale. So if you're extremely advanced with your endurance, you may be able to do more than 10 rounds. If you're a beginner or obese person, you may have to
cut back on intensity and stick to a low-moderate pace while still completing 10 rounds of 1 minute on/1 minute off.
Beginners, obese people or anyone with joint pain may need to modify a lot of the cardio and strength training to the safest option while still pushing yourself a
bit.
Remember, we have to train according to our own limitations and always perform each exercise with good form or ask a personal trainer for guidance if you're
unsure on your exercise form. If an exercise causes any joint pain or you aren't 100% confident on the form, skip the exercise and substitute another exercise
that you're comfortable with.
If you're using the band option you'll do 10 repetitions -OR- go until you feel an 8/10 burn.
Remember, if you choose the band pull through option you are doing 10 reps each leg. You are only going by yards if you choose the sled option.
Remember, if it says 10-5 that means 10 on the first exercise and 5 on the second exercise.
