Nicholas fitness plan week #4

This week I will try to focus on losing some weight and strengthening my upper body. With the diet I have put in place, I realized I am starting to gain weight that begins to show itself in my belly area. Therefore, I would like to focus on cardio this week to lose the extra fat. Also, I want to place an emphasis on building strength in my arms and core. As just focusing on cardio is only half the challenge, I need to restrict my diet a little more. Continue eating the same amount of protein but start to eat more fibre-rich foods to keep my hunger satiated.

Workouts:

Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday:
- 1 Hour Running on the Treadmill

Monday, Wednesday, Saturday:
- 10 Push-ups
- 10 Tricep Dips
- 15 X- Man Crunches
- 5 Pull- Ups

2 Minute Rest between each set
x 3 sets

Nicholas week#3 Fitness Plan.

After building up our general strength and cardiovascular endurance for these past two weeks, I have decided to narrow this week’s workout even more. I will make separate days for the upper body and the legs and cardio. The focus of this week’s workout is building up strength and muscle. The exercises will consist of compound exercises instead of isolating one muscle. Arm and Core workouts will be on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. Leg Workouts are on Monday and Wednesday. Cardio will be Friday and Saturday. I’m also trying to lose my belly so cardio will be essential through these coming weeks. Diet this week will be high protein and healthy fats, but I will be eating small meals and eat only after exercising to maximize fat burn.

The workout for the core comes from a YouTube video that I watched by Athlean X. This is because I find his core workouts incorporate all the muscles in the abs as well as being short. The link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VsDP584zyQ&t

Arm Workout:
- 10 push-ups
- 5 Burpees
- 10 pull-ups*
- 10 tricep-dips

x 3 with 2 minute rests

*If you can’t do a pull-up, instead of trying to lift yourself you jump and grab the bar and work on lowering yourself down slowly. Keep doing these modified pull-ups until you have the strength to do the normal ones.

Leg Workout:
- 10 Squat Jumps
- 10 Lunges
- 20 Calf Raises
- 10 Squats

x 3 with 2 minute rests


Cardio:
- Running for 1 hour

Nicolas week #2 Fitness plan

The goal of this week’s workout is to continue developing all-around body strength and cardiovascular endurance. I will particularly focus on the upper body this week. There will be exercises to target the core and arms. . The frequency of this workout will be on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. In between those days, there will be just cardio days where I will go jogging for 30 minutes. Friday is a rest day and no exercise will take place. The diet will continue to be high protein and low-carbs.

Workouts:

Warmup:
- 2 minutes of jumping jacks
- 5 slow squats
- Light stretching

Main Workout:
- 20 squats
- 10 Push-ups
- Reverse Crunches until failure
- Air Bike Crunches for 2 minutes
- 10 pull-ups
- 2-minute rest

Repeat 3 Times

Notes:
- The push-ups can be modified to become easier if you do them on your knees until you build the strength to do them normally
- For the squats, make sure your knees do not go past your toes (can be solved by moving you hip back before the squat), and tighten your butt and core
- Until failure means until you cannot do anymore
