Feb 1st Workout

Welcome! This is the first workout of my Free in February workout plan. If you stick with it for 28 days, I am confident you will start feeling stronger and healthier. If you have questions, please post them to the comments and I will get to them as soon as possible. Also, utilize Google and YouTube for videos and how-tos.

WORKOUT #1

As many rounds as you can in 15 minutes:
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Sit-ups
20 Squats (body weight only)

Keep track of how many rounds you completed. If you are in the middle of a round when your time is up that is okay. You would record it like this: 4 rounds + 13 sit-ups.

Beginners:
- You can do assisted pull-ups, jumping pull-ups or lateral pulldowns instead of pull-ups
- Push-ups can be done against the ball or on a bench
- If needed replace crunches for sit-ups
- Squat onto a bench if you can't get your butt below your knees

February Fitness Plan


If you are struggling to start a fitness plan, keep reading.  In February I am going to give you a full monthly workout plan for free. Most people just need a jump start to get their fitness goals moving, and this is the jump start you need.

All you have to do is check in each day (http://schicktraining.blogspot.com/) and find out what the workout is. There will be a beginner workout and an advanced workout, so there will be no excuse. This routine will combine strength training, cardio and core work.

I will also be posting some picture and videos to help guide you.  You can post questions in the comment section.

Start taking charge of your fitness!
