THE BURN Workout   Consistency and Training Intensity: One of the keys to success of any workout program is consistency and intensity. These two factors will play a pivotal role in your strength training workout success. Make sure you get in and give a good effort when your schedule calls for it! We will now break down the schedule you will follow during your program. Weight training only needs to be performed 3 times per week. Yes… I think you can handle that! We will hit all the major muscle groups in only three workouts! Each body-part will be trained only once per week. Try to workout in the morning if possible just after your cardio workout and before eating if time permits. This will help enable you to further increase your metabolism and burn even more calories! Do not feel bad if for some reason this is not possible. An afternoon weight-training schedule is perfectly fine for those that just can’t squeeze it in! Fitting In Cardio: You should be performing 20 minutes of cardio every morning. Just after the weight training information, we will introduce the cardio information. Here we will cover the various types of cardiovascular exercises that you may perform. These really get your metabolism cranked up so pay close attention to this section. Additionally, on the days you are not weight training you may also perform a second session of cardio in the afternoon as well. These are listed on TABLE 1b as (optional cardio). This additional cardio may be performed on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. This could also be added to your morning routine if you want, however, splitting it up into two sessions might make it seem less burdensome of a task. Also, with this second opportunity to do cardio, you can make up for a missed morning session. With this diet system, you have plenty of options, which provides little room for excuses... just get out and do it! Mental Intensity and Preparation: Make sure to increase the intensity each workout to hit new highs! Look forward to the improvements you will make and visualize yourself successfully and powerfully performing your exercises. You will be writing down your workouts in your log before you actually do them. This way you will know what you have to accomplish for that day. Getting mentally prepared is an essential element to making your workouts productive! So, before you get to the gym or begin working out, tell yourself within your mind or aloud, “I will be focused, determined and strong! I will push past my old limitations, achieve all of my goals and aim for personal bests!” This should help shape your self-will and mindset in a very positive and productive direction. Now, let us begin with the workout schedule!   The following routine hits all major muscle groups one time per week. This allows the body sufficient time to recover from one workout to the next.   21 Copyright ©2006 Fizogen Precision Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
