This Circuit should be used for 2 to 3 days per week. You pick the days! But make sure you leave a day in-between so your body can recover. On your off days you will start doing your cardio!!! When you do your cardio you can add boot camp style to it which makes you work harder!! Keep up the cardio! Always 40 mins to an hour is best at high interval training small rests and best time for cardio is morning before you eat so you burn stored fat. You will need to have protein & water as soon as you can after cardio then your breakfast or lunch whatever point you are at during that day. And preworkout eat small!!!!!!
Cardio/Core/Abs
Treadmill walk for 5 to 10 mins. Then work your way up to higher speeds and higher incline. I suggest Incline @ 10 for 1 minute @ 3.5 speed & then 1.5 @ 6.0 or a sprint for 2 mins. Does this for 10 mins then begin to just walk fast or run for the rest of the 40 mins to an hour which ever you decide you are timing on. You want to work on your endurance so start slow and work your way up! :)
Beginner 10/10 interval workouts/treadmill or boot camp
Warm-up for 3-to-5 minutes
Do a high intensity (hard) activity for 10 seconds followed by...
Doing nothing, standing still and/or sitting down & completely resting for 10-to-30 seconds and...
Repeat this for 5 minutes
Rest 5-to-10 minutes
Repeat 0-to-5 more times
In this basic 10/10 interval workout you’re resting for 10-to-30 seconds instead of ONLY 10 seconds.
*(ABS) Choose 3 different exercises from above and do as many as you can for ea 1 set
*If you decide to do BOOTCAMP STYLE instead of Treadmill on some days this is how you would do it:
*Boot camp style is simple. It requires allot of bodyweight and going from one exercise to the other fast! High intensity, high reps; 20-30 range for short bouts; 30 secs -1min
Example: The goal is to rest for 10 secs mostly between all.
Jump Squats for 30 reps into mountain climbers for 50 secs.
Jumping Jacks or jump rope or both for another minute straight.
Box Jumps as many as you can in 50 secs.
Abs on floor -Bicycle crunches lower leg raises
Air boxing punches and always walking lunges!!
