To successfully complete this program you should follow the exercises exactly as they are shown and in the order as they are shown. The first week is very basic and the subsequent weeks will be more advanced.

The first thing you should do is walk on a treadmill or elliptical for about 5 minutes. This is to get your blood flowing and your body warmed up. Then begin the exercises below.

Since you are doing 4 days a week you can do the 4 days any day of the week. However, you shouldn't do 4 days in a row. You want to have a break in there somewhere.

***After you complete week 3 you have 3 options to choose from:***

Option 1. Repeat weeks 3-4 until you feel comfortable setting up your own routine.

Option 2. Go to "Workout Directory" to learn how to set up your own routine.
