TIPS BEFORE STARTING
If you are unsure of how to do an exercise, be sure to get instruction from a certified trainer.
If something hurts or feels off, don’t do that exercise. There are plenty of alternates that you can add in.
Please feel free to email [email protected] for ideas or see the Exercise Library manual for alter-native exercises.
Because this is a new program, be sure to start slow to avoid injury. Pushing too hard after not work-ing out for a while will only lead to injury or being overly sore.
If you find you need more rest in between exercises, take it. Over the course of the program, you should work on shortening your rest periods.
This program is demanding so if going three days per week is too much, start by going 2 days a week with your others days being “active rest” days (walking, hiking, etc.).
Always warm up properly. Be sure you are fully warmed up before starting your workouts. Use a foam roll and stretch consistently. This will greatly help with eliminating soreness throughout the program.
Get good rest. You must allow your body to recover from your workouts so be sure you are getting good sleep.
Drink lots of water. This will keep you hydrated and allow you to lose fat more easily.
Have a cool down period at the end of each workout that includes stretching and foam rolling.
THINGS TO REMEMBER
Below are some guidelines that you should read through before jumping into the program. The rea-son I have put these together is to help maximize results.
Always start with a warm up. Your warm up should consist of some dynamic stretching, foam roll, and warm up sets. For example, start by doing some bodyweight squats, lunges, and push-ups before starting. Always be sure your body is fully ready to go before starting. Ease into the program. As was stated, this is a challenging program so be sure to ease into it if need-ed which means doing the best you can on each workout, whatever that means to you!
Always have perfect form. It is much better to have perfect form doing less repetitions than have bad form performing lots of repetitions. Form is very important, so keep focused on it throughout the workouts.
Finish with a cool down period. Once you have finished your workout, always perform a cool down with some stretching and foam roll. This will help eliminate soreness and get you better prepared for the next day.
Track your progress. This is very important as you go throughout the program. Be sure you are tracking everything that you do. This includes the weight you used, the amount of rest you took, and how long your workouts
take.
Drink lots of water. Be sure to keep yourself hydrated as these workouts will take a lot out of you.
Get good rest. Sleep and recovery time is going to be huge on this program. Try to sleep at least 7-8 hours per night to allow your body to recover and grow.
Your biggest goal on this program should be to IMPROVE. If you are improving each workout, your results will continue to get better and better.
A NOTE ON EXERCISE SUBSTITUTIONS
It’s important to note that each exercise on the HIIT BURN system has a substitute that you can do instead.
Whether you are looking for an exercise that is harder or easier, I have you covered. Don’t be afraid to make exercise substitutions to make the workout your own. Put something in that fits your fitness level.
Here’s some exercise substitution examples:
Squat Jump Substitutions Easier: substitute for Squat to Toes, Total Body Extensions, Bodyweight Squats Harder: substitute for Star Jumps, Tuck Jumps, Electric Hops
Lunge SubstitutionsEasier: substitute for Split Squats or Bodyweight Squats Harder: substitute for Bulgarian Split Squats, Jump Lunges, Bulgarian Split Squat Jumps
Burpee SubstitutionsEasier: substitute for Squat to Toes, Mountain Climbers Harder: substitute for Burpee Star Jumps, Burpee Broad Jumps
Pushup Substitutions Easier: substitute for Knee Pushups or Incline Pushups Harder: substitute for Spiderman Pushups, Decline Pushups, Clapping Pushups
Pull-Ups or Chin-Up Substitutions Easier: substitute for Inverted Row, Bodyweight Row Harder: substitute for Weighted Pull-Ups or Weighted Chin-Ups
Sprints in Place Substitutions Easier: substitute for Quick Feet in Place, Mountain Climbers, Squat to Toes Harder: substitute Full Speed Outdoor Sprints (REAL Sprints!)
As you can see, it is very easy to make each one of these workouts harder or easier if needed. Just know that each workout found below is challenging and will push your limits if you push yourself!
THE WORKOUT CALENDAR BODYWEIGHT VERSION
There are 5 workouts per week with 2 rest days each week. We do not recommend having less than 2 rest days per week. In this calendar example, we show your rest days falling over the weekends. You are welcome to change that around and split up your rest days in any way that works best for your schedule and body. Just be sure to keep at least 2 rest days per week as you follow the workouts in sequential order.
For days that don’t list a workout, you can:
Have a complete rest dayHave an active rest day (go for a walk, hike, yoga, etc.)
