Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

Done for You 4-Week Exercise Workout Program

* Customize a 3-5 Day Program

- Choose 2-3 of the workouts - Choose 1-2 of the Cardio - Then choose the volume 50% of the set volume for beginners - This will allow you to learn to modify any workout you see - In this example, you can create a beginner, intermediate or advanced program - And you can choose 3 - 5 days of total workouts per week - You will most likely plateau in about 4 weeks and at that time it’s time to move onto a new program - The best program is the one you’re not doing… - This is how we write programs for clients at our Boston Personal Training studio

*** This client has a history of lower back stiffness and potentially an imbalanced core with tight hip flexors and weak/tight hamstrings. He also has previous rotator cuff shoulder issues. He is only looking to lose about 5-10 lbs, which I’m recommending through a 7-14 day Dr. Cabral Detox and then maintenance with the Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol. He also wanted to add in some biceps and triceps work.
