Daily Training Instructions
Remember:
- Start with a 2-3 minute light warmup if you feel like it. The Block 1 activities are not too intense and you may find them to be good warm up options..
- Complete the Cardio section followed by the Strength section. Some people prefer doing strength first and that’s ok if you prefer it that way.
- Each Training Block is 10 minutes of activity.
- The intensity of training increases from Block 1 to Block 3.
- Depending on your current fitness level, you may decide to complete a single 10 minute block today Or you may choose to complete 2 or 3 Training Block repetitions for 20 or 30 minutes of total activity.
Manage the Intensity
