I designed my Fitness program based on my love of weight training. Over the course of my fitness journey, I found myself wanting to increase and sculpt lean muscle and burn body fat — which is exactly what my programis designed to do!
Diving into a new fitness program can be daunting, so in this article, I break PWR down for you with practical tips to help you get started!
Every session is structured to include 5-6 phases of training, including warm-up, activation, pyramid training, supersets (or trisets), an optional burnout phase. There is also a guided cooldown. In total, a session will take around 40-50 minutes to complete.
What you’ll need
You’ll need access to some weights and equipment to complete My workouts . Some of the equipment used throughout includes:
- Barbell
- Bench
- Balance ball
- Chair
- Dumbbells (2–5kg)
- Fitball
- Kettlebell (4–8kg)
- Resistance band
- Weight plate
Setting yourself up for success
You’ve subscribed to my YouTube channel, you’ve signed up for my sessions and you’ve got yourself the necessary equipment. YOU’RE ALMOST THERE!
Plan ahead and schedule time in your diary. The fact is, the more organised you are, the more likely you are to stick with your new fitness journey!
If you’re getting started with weight training, I suggest scheduling your resistance workouts every second day, to allow for adequate recovery time.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
