CANCELATION POLICY for ALL SERVICES
Although I truly do enjoy working with my clients, it
is still a business and my sole means of earning
an income. Your appointment is reserved for you
and I cannot easily re-fill it. If you are unable to
keep your appointment and we cannot reschedule
for that same week, I will need to charge that as a
"USED SESSION." Personal Medical
Emergencies are different. It is not my intention to
offend anyone, only to ask for your understanding.

*Take approximately 30 to 60 seconds recovery between each set.

BEGINNER PROGRAM
Wk #1: start slowly with 1 or 2 sets of one exercise per muscle group (except legs do 2) with 10
to 15 reps
Wk #2: increase by adding 1 set-now doing 3 sets of one exercise per muscle group
Wk #3: increase with a second exercise-now you should be doing 2 exercises per muscle group.
(Legs you can be doing 3 or 4 exercises now)
Wk #4: now it's time to increase the weight only if you can complete all sets with all reps with
ease.
Wk #5: it may be time to add some new exercises or revise the old ones. See your Fitness
Trainer.

INTERMEDIATE OR ADVANCED
Pick your workout schedule, i.e.; 2 day, 4 day
Pick your exercises; if you are only training 2 days a week, I suggest you train your whole body
each day with 1 exercise per body part. But it you are going to train more than one day, then
you can pick 2 exercises per body part. A much harder workout for sure and not a bad idea to
do this now and again anyway. This will take longer in the gym than the other 2-day schedule.
SHAKE IT UP A LITTLE
Plan a circuit or a cardio circuit. Try the treadmill for 10 minutes, weights, bike for 10 minutes,
weights, elliptical for 10 minutes then weights one more time.
Pick an exercise, do 3 sets then do 1 set of abs with lots of reps then continue onto the next
exercise and so on with abs in-between. You’ll get 6+sets of abs with lots of reps in there.
STRENGTH
Pick your exercise and do 1 set with a decent weight for 15 reps, NEXT set go heavier for 10 to
12 reps, NEXT set go a little heavier if the last set was doable, and try to get 8 to 10 reps. IF you
don’t feel fatigued after the 3rd set, DO 1 MORE SET WITH THE SAME WEIGHT. Train this
way for THE WHOLE WORKOUT WITH EVERY EXERCISE. But be careful with the weights you
choose, you don’t want to get hurt. Remember to err on the light side.
