-Workout lasts 45-60 minutes in duration
-Cardio done after workout (don't do cardio after a Leg Day) or on non-lifting days
-For now, do 10-15 repetitions per set using perfect form. Later we may change this range for more specific goals (power, strength, sport performance, endurance, weight loss, etc)
-Hydrate before, during, and after workout
-Whey protein after workout, simple carbs after workout as well (gatorade, fruit, fruit juice, etc)
-Breathe during all repetitions!!!
-Workouts don’t have to be done exactly as written, especially if you feel joint pain or a weight seems too light or heavy. Use common sense!
-Workouts are not done in the exact order written (except warmup and cooldowns)
-Ask Frugal Fitness if you have any questions or need help!
