About the workout schedule
One of my workouts a day is good enough to improve your health and fitness, and get real visible results. If you’re super motivated to get super fast results, you can do the second suggested workout in this schedule, but caution should be taken to ensure that you’re not regressing by draining your energy too much.
That said, let me give you a few tips:
1. Don’t do 2 high intensity workouts back to back. It’s going to be way more effective if you do each of them with fresh energy, so take at least a few hours in between them. If you’re fresh and strong for each workout, you’ll be able to push yourself harder and thus burn more calories and contract your muscles better. The only exception is Power Yoga. You can do PoYo after any workout since it’s an aerobic based routine focused mainly on stretching and core work.
2. Support your training with proper diet. Read through my Nutrition Guide to get the idea.
3. Track your progress. Always write down your score for every workout. If you see that you’re not beating your personal bests for routines you’ve done in the past, the chances are you’re overtraining yourself instead of getting stronger. If you’re getting fitter, stronger, and faster, it’s going to reflect on your body so keeping track of your times and reps is really important. You should also take measurements with a tape measure, and before and after pictures. Weighing yourself won’t tell you much unless you can track your body fat % which is not easy to do accurately at home.

Hiya, sorry for the stupid question, but is it right that I should only be doing Beginner Strength 2 once this week? Also as a beginner would the Summer Shred workouts be too difficult. Not that I mind difficult, but I don’t want to do myself a mischief 🙂

It’s not a stupid question 🙂 this week, beginners will do Beginner Strength #2 once on Wednesday but we will repeat the workout next week. If you do feel like you want to try Summer Shred, go for it. You may have the strength to do it. If not, then you’ll know you have to work your way up starting wit the beginner series.

I used 25lb KB for buy in but switched to 15lb for rest of the workout. Tough workout, left me dripping in sweat once again.
