General Workout Guidelines:
-Each workout takes about 45 minutes
-Do 30-45 minutes of cardio either after the workout or on non-workout days
-Each set should consist of 15-20 repetitions (with perfect form and posture!) to promote small lean muscle and endurance
-Throw in 90 second high intensity cardio intervals in between every 3-5 sets (boxing, jump rope, step, elliptical, etc.)
-Rest between sets should be 30 seconds or less to keep heart rate and metabolism up
-Workouts should be done 3-4 times per week (if done 4 times per week then mix and match exercises or work on weak areas)
-Stretch for 5-10 minutes after your workout is complete
Workout Performance Nutrition:
-30-60 minutes before a workout have moderate serving of protein and a piece of fruit. A small or moderate amount of caffeine can be beneficial before a workout, especially before cardio.
-Throughout workout stay hydrated with water or a diluted sports drink (Gatorade, propel, etc) if your workout lasts over an hour or if you will be sweating profusely. Do not drink caffeine during a workout as it is dehydrating
-Within 30 minutes after your workout consume simple sugars (a piece of fruit or glass of fruit juice) and some whey protein to promote optimum energy and muscle recovery
-Refer to packet for overall nutritional advice!!!
