New Programming
By: Drey Rosas
We hope you had a festive Thanksgiving and spent some quality time celebrating with loved ones.
As November ends, our new exercise programming begins.
Our programs are traditionally six weeks long and consist of three stations with three different movements incorporating upper, lower, and full-body exercises. Whether you are a longtime member or maybe just starting your journey, rest assured there is a regression and progression for every movement in our program. Here are a few tips to help you get the best out of starting a new program
Eat Before You Workout
Consuming enough calories and carbohydrates before your workout will ensure you have the energy to push through. Aim to have a meal with protein and carbohydrates at least 1 hour before your workout. A protein shake with oatmeal is a great option if you are working out early in the morning.
Feeling Extra Sore
If you are feeling extra sore these days, don’t worry, it’s normal. Eating enough protein and all the calories in your meal plan will help your body recover and aid in soreness. So make sure you eat what’s on your meal plan.
Don’t Over Do It
If you are extremely sore, please take a rest day. You will feel much better after a day or two off, and you’ll be able to jump right back on it.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water is essential for our bodies to function properly. The rule of thumb is to drink at least half of your body weight in ounces. 120 lbs divided by 2 is 60 oz of water, minimum.
Follow Your Plan
As many famous sayings go, 80% of transformations are nutrition and 20% fitness. Real changes happen in the kitchen so make sure you are following your meal plan and doing your best to stay consistent so you can get the best out of our program.
Following these five tips, will help you start our new programming on the right foot, pun intended.
