Full Body Workout Variation A

Notes for Week 1, Day 1

Be sure to warmup for 5-7 minutes with some light dynamic stretching and light aerobic activity on a treadmill or elliptical machine before beginning the workout.

Stay fairly strict with the 1 minute rest allotted for the workout if you are aiming for a great cardio workout at the same time. If your goal is strictly strength, tone, fat loss, or mass gaining then 2-3 minutes of rest works great.

Choose a weight that you can complete for the full amount of sets and reps but be aware that the expected number of sets and reps changes from 3 sets of 8 reps in week 1 to 3 sets of 10 reps in week 2 with the same amount of weight and then to 4 sets of 8 reps with more weight in week 3 and finishing by going back to 3 sets of 8 reps for week 4 where the goal should be to increase the weight lifted for 3 sets of 8 reps in week 4 as compared to week 1.
