Here’s a simple and effective way to create a full body training session.

There are so many exercises you can select for each movement pattern but select ones that you want to work on.

From there, be sure to assign sets and reps that match the goals you want whether that be strength, weight loss, or gaining muscle.

After that, start training!!

When it comes to writing or naming exercises, there are many ways to do it.

Swipe for some simple steps on naming exercises.

Granted there are already names for activities that don’t follow these steps(Stir the Pot, Bodysaw, Arnold’s) and if you have worked or trained with other coaches and gyms, they probably have a similar system to this.

If you find that you haven’t been able to practice the habits that will get you towards your new year goal(s), try practicing these steps:

🔸Break your goal into smaller goals. Instead of training 3 times a week, start with 1 or 2 times a week.

🔸Set a realistic time you can practice on your goals. If you work 9-5, be honest with what makes sense for your schedule. If training for 60 minutes is difficult, train 30 minutes.

🔸Schedule your goal into your calendar. Pick a day and time each week where you can practice the steps toward your goal.

🔸Take action! Right where the rubber meets the road. Practice the steps towards your goal.

Every goal is different but if you can break them down, set a realistic time, schedule them in, and take action you will find yourself closer to that 2022 goal!

Sometimes training early in the morning is the only time you may have to workout.

Here are some tips to help you feel prepared and ready for those “6am’s”(or earlier 😬)

🔸Setting an Alarm - This is an obvious one but make sure you set an alarm at a time where you won’t be rushed but allows you to get ready in the morning, train, and enough time to change and get to work if that is your schedule.

🔸Prepare Gym Bag Day Before - You may not necessarily use a gym bag but having clothes and other gym related equipment(water bottle, sneakers, headphones, work clothes) you need the day prior will make it easy for you to grab-and-go. The easier it is, the more likely you are to do it!

🔸Go to Bed at a Decent Hour - If you want to get up early, you need to go to bed early. Anywhere from 7-9 hours of sleep is adequate for most.

🔸Evaluate Morning Routine - It’s always good to review your routine to see if there is anything that can improve. Some questions to ask: Did I get enough sleep? Do I have everything prepared for the gym(and for work)? How ready am I for the session? Did I have enough energy for my session?

Use these tips for training earlier in the day to feel fresh and ready for your morning workout!
