Instructions
- Use the database filter to find a workout that matches the type assigned for the day.
- Set the difficulty level (1 to 5) to match your current fitness level.
- Pick a workout and complete it on Level I, II or III depending on how much time and energy you have.
- If you own dumbbells, select workouts with equipment "Dumbbells" for the strength days.
- Add an ab workout to any rest day if you want extra core work. It is optional.
Monday
Focus: Whole body strength.
What To Do: ✓ Full Body Strength Workout
Why? With three sessions a week every strength day has to cover everything. A full body workout loads the legs, back, chest and core in one go and starts the week with the muscle-building work done first.
Tuesday
Focus: Recovery.
What To Do: Take the day off or complete a stretching routine to keep your exercise streak going.
Why? Muscle is built on the day after the session. A rest day here is not a gap in the plan. It is where the plan does its work.
Wednesday
Focus: Conditioning.
What To Do: ✓ Cardio Workout or HIIT Workout
Why? Strength without stamina only gets you so far. One conditioning day in the middle of the week keeps the heart and lungs in the picture. Pick HIIT if you want intensity or cardio if you want to keep it steady.
Thursday
Focus: Recovery.
What To Do: Take the day off or complete a yoga sequence to keep your exercise streak going.
Why? Rest before the second strength day means you go into it fully recovered and can lift, push and hold harder than on Monday.
Friday
Focus: Whole body strength.
What To Do: ✓ Full Body Strength Workout. Pick a different workout from Monday.
Why? Two full body strength sessions a week is enough to build muscle and keep it. Friday's session closes the week with the work that matters most for this plan.
Saturday
Focus: Recovery.
What To Do: Take the day off or complete a stretching routine to keep your exercise streak going.
Why? The week's work is done. Let it settle.
Sunday
Focus: Recovery.
What To Do: Take the day off or complete a yoga sequence to keep your exercise streak going.
Why? Two full days off before Monday is what lets a three-day plan run indefinitely without ever feeling like a grind.
