Warm-up, weights, and stretch 
|
|
WARM-UP, WEIGHTS, STRETCH. Warm up with light jogging and calisthenics for 5-10 minutes until you've broken a sweat. If you're at the gym, try a 5 or 10 minute program on a treadmill or versa-trainer. Do 3 sets of each of the following exercises: pushups, bent rows with a light barbell, crunches, back extensions and bodyweight squats. Try to increase the number of reps you do in each exercise.If you began the program doing 8 or 10 reps, try to be up in the area of 12-15 reps by this week. To be sure you're using correct form, consult a trainer certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Choose stretches different from the ones you used last week but that target the same body parts. For proper stretching technique, consult a certified athletic trainer or physical therapist or a good book like Bob Anderson's "Stretching."
