This program is based on Circuit Style Training. That means youwill be performing 3 or more exercises in a row with minimal rest,and taking a longer rest at the end. You will repeat these threeexercises a noted number of times. You should complete allrounds of Circuit #1 before moving on to Circuit #2. Warming Up Warms ups are a necessary evil of effective workouts! Get yourblood flowing and warm up your body for 3-5 minutes beforebeginning. Go for a walk, do some skipping - get your heart rateslightly elevated and get the joints moving!

Cooling Down & StretchFor best results & to reduce the likelihood of injuries, pleasestretch out the parts of the body you exercised. Add in another 3-5minute walk if you can at a slower pace.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

Page 5: Copy of Optimal Back to Basics Program

Tracking progress is one of the most effective ways to staymotivated. When you see something working, you're more likely tostick to it! Here are the best ways to track progress during the 4-week Home Stay program.

Measurements Measurements are a much better indicator of progress. Muscle ismore dense than body fat, so if you lose body fat (even if you don'tlose weight!) you will notice a loss in inches. Some good places tomeasure: chest, waist, arms, hips, thighs. Record themeasurements to compare later.

PicturesTaking photos can help you see the difference a fitness program ismaking for you! Take a photo from the front and side in what everclothing you're most comfortable. Remember to take subsequentphotos at the same time and same location (so the lighting is thesame!)

NotesMake notes on how you feel. Write out how you feel after eachworkout and see the progress of your energy, ability andmotivation.
