version 1c

by: Kilim
This entire worksheet is made by me to try and help track my progress in as simple a manner in one area.
The workout program here was inspired after reading some VERY helpful articles and most likely will evolve in the future.
Please use this spreadsheet and modify it as you see fit.
It is set for a 12 week plan but can easily be modified if you know basic MS Excel use or ask someone to modify it for you.
Just please try to send me a copy of your modification as I may one day use your modified spreadsheet as you have used mine :D
This worksheet has been inspired by:
* britlifter's post called: My advice for all beginners and first time readers.
- This GREAT thread is what the weight lifting plan has been based on!
* fbcoach for making me understand about the proper dieting to get cut!
* Wolf's thread called: ****Guide to Cutting, Bulking & Maintenance****
* Hugo Rivera's article called Cardio Exercise Basics
* Kelly Baggett's article called Build Muscle & Lose Fat Simultaneously?
* ExRx.net for tons of great info!
* Plus other people and articles and websites I have not mentioned!
How to use this worksheet:
* Decide the 3 non-consecutive days that you will be weight lifting (i.e.: Monday, Wednesday & Friday)
- Day 1, Day 3, and Day 5 are the lifting days.
(i.e.: Monday = Day 1, Wednesday = Day 3, Friday = Day 5)
- Day 2, Day 4 and Day 6 are HIT Cardio days.
(i.e.: Tuesday = Day 2, Thursday = Day 4, Saturday = Day 6)
* Decide if you are Cutting, Bulking or in Maintenance Phase.
- IF in Cutting Phase: you may want to do more Cardio/HIT exercises.
- IF in Bulking Phase: you may want to do less Cardio/HIT exercises.
- Find the right balance of Cardio/HIT frequency for you and that will fit your goal!
These are all just examples! It is NOT set in stone.
* Or you can just use this worksheet however it fits your needs!
* You can add your own dates on the Week # cells.

Suggestions on Weight Lifting:
* Do EVERYTHING in good form!
* It is better to start on a light weight and doing good form than heavy weight and bad form!
* Slowly add weight as you progress.
(ie: Add 5lbs once the current weight becomes too easy.)
My Current Workout Plan:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday:
AM Cardio: Light jog just to keep myself in my Fat Burning Zone on empty stomach.
PM Lift: 10min Max Incline Treadmill Warm-up
Followed by Lifting sets for the day
12 Week Workout Program Planner
MM/DD/YR to MM/DD/YR
NOTE:
I warm-up each exercise doing the following:
(approx weight x Reps x Set)
Bar x 5 x 2
50% x 5 x 1
75% x 3 x 1
85% x 2 x 1
Start Sets
Followed by 20min Max Incline Treadmill Cooldown
Tuesday & Thursday (Saturday optional):
HIT Cardio 1st thing in the morning on empty stomach.
Abs right after HIT Cardio. (No set routine, usually just use my Ab Ball and Ab Wheel and do Abs until burnout.)
Note:
I am currently on my Cutting Phase so I plan to do more cardio to lose Bodyfat.
Once I reach my bodyfat goal, I will decrease my cardio and possibly start on bulking and repeat the cycle.
Suggested Gear:
Heart Rate Monitor
Pedometer
Watch
Water Bottle
I personally own a Garmin Forerunner 405!
It is a sportwatch that has multiple functions.
It has a Heart rate Monitor to keep you in your Fat Burning Zone!
It also have a GPS so you can track your distance and speed when running/cycling.
And a bunch more functions that are generally helpful!
I don't say buy this specific sportwatch, you can get by with something cheaper that works for you, I just like this one :D
I am a data nut and LOVE seeing progress!
Besides, I get all the features of a Heart Rate Monitor, Pedometer and a watch in 1 equipment!
