shana - WEEKs ONE & Two

SHANA - HERE IS THE STARTING POINT I WANT TO RUN WITH FOR WEEKS ONE & TWO. OUR GOALS HERE ARE ABOUT GETTING THE BODY ACCLIMATED FOR BIGGER MOVEMENTS AS THE PROGRAMMING DEVELOPS WHILE NAVIGATING THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS AT THE JOB. BE CERTAIN TO READ ALL OF THE EXERCISES BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR WORKOUT, AND EMAIL YOUR TRAINER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

THESE FIRST TWO WEEKS CONSISTS OF THREE (3) WORKOUTS. THE MOBILITY WORKOUT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE AS A STAND ALONE ROUTINE FOR 10 MINUTES OR AS A WARM UP FOR EITHER OF THE TWO ADDITIONAL WORKOUTS. 

IN ADDITION, I WOULD LOVE YOU TO GET AT LEAST ONE OR TWO LOWER-INTENSITY CARDIO BOUTS IN PER WEEK.

AGAIN ALL OF THIS IS BUILT AROUND HOW YOU ARE FEELING.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED THESE FIRST TWO WEEKS:

  • BODYWEIGHT
  • RESISTANCE BANDS
  • BOX OR BENCH
  • ELLIPTICAL
  • BIKE
  • TENNIS BALL
  • FOAM ROLLER

ON YOUR NON TRAINING DAYS, I WOULD SUGGEST SOME SOME LOW INTENSITY STEADY STATE CARDIO - WALKING, CASUAL BIKE RIDE, ETC.

THE VIDEOS ARE SETUP TO GUIDE YOU FOR OPTIMAL FORM. TO READ DON'S ADVICE WHILE YOU PERFORM THE EXERCISES FOR THE FIRST TIME, PRESS THE CC NEXT TO THE VIMEO LOGO BEFORE PRESSING PLAY.
