WORKOUT PROGRAM
FOUR WEEK WORKOUT GUIDE
Welcome to our 4 week workout guide. This specialized workout consists of three levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced. The higher
level workout consists of two sessions a day and the lower levels vary between one or two a day. These sessions will be split into a cardio
session and resistance/strength session. The focus will be to reduce body fat, while increasing muscle mass.
A common fat burning strategy employed by bodybuilders, athletes and fitness enthusiasts is to perform cardiovascular exercise on an
empty stomach. This was made popular by Phil Phillips in his book body of life stating that performing 20minutes of aerobic exercise after
a fast has greater effects on fat loss than performing an entire hour of cardio in a postprandial state. It is a fact that when training on an
empty stomach your body feeds into its reserves (fat storages) because of the lack of glucose meaning the reduction of body fat. We
recommend that you undergo cardio training just before the first meal of the day.
This cardio program will focus on the Fartlek training principle. Fartlek, meaning speed-play and combines continuous and interval training.
Fartlek allows the athlete to train at varying intensity levels over distances of their choice. This type of training stresses both the aerobic and
anaerobic energy pathways.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF INTERVAL TRAINING?
Interval training has been shown to improve:
Aerobic and anaerobic fitness
Blood pressure
Cardiovascular health
Insulin sensitivity (which helps the exercising muscles more readily use glucose for fuel to make energy)
Cholesterol profiles
Abdominal fat and body weight while maintaining muscle mass
Fartlek training is implemented on a treadmill a lot of the time but this program will use a variety of CV (Cardio Vascular) equipment to
reduce the strain on the knees.

The program will be based around functional hypertrophy workouts. Hypertrophy is growth of muscles and occurs because the existing
fibers get larger due to strength training. Mechanical loading, or weight lifting, triggers processes within the cells and muscle fibers that lead
to protein synthesis and muscle growth. Other benefits include the increase neuromuscular strength and increase of metabolism.
