8 Week Summer Fitness Plan ~Part 1~

Week 3-4

Goal: Increase Intensity 

Monday: 35 minutes of jogging or interval sprints or walking at a fast pace(1-minute fast, 2 minutes slow) 

Tuesday: Strength training (add weights/resistance) – deadlifts, push-ups with rotation, and step-ups (3 sets of 10-15 reps each)

Wednesday: Hump day is leg day, which consists of wall sits (10 sets of 30 seconds each) or using a chair to slowly sit in and rise quickly (10 sets of 50). 10 sets of 20 weighted squats or assisted squats 

Thursday: 40 minutes of cycling or swimming (including speed intervals) 

Friday: Strength training (lower body focus) – leg press, calf raises, and glute bridges (3 sets of 10-15 reps each) 

Saturday: Step outside your comfort zone and do something that goes against your norm for 1 hour. 

Examples include but are not limited to kickboxing, dancing, Zumba, cycling, hiking, swimming, or wresting a BEAR(just kidding, I wanted to see if you were paying attention)

Sunday: It’s a day of rest, a day to attend church, and a day to do something kind for someone else! Remember, it’s essential to take care of yourself and be a blessing to someone.

While getting into shape, you have to tune out what everyone else is doing and stop comparing yourself to others. And the worst thing you can do is compare your day one to someone’s day 100. This is your journey, so enjoy it.

Happy Sweating!

  2. “Tune out what everybody else is doing”. I love your focus on completing it for your own circumstances. Nobody is at the same point as you and I think it is so important to respect where your own body and mind are and create a sense of peace for your own wellbeing.
