Transform Your Body In 8 Weeks!
Don't slow down now that resolution season is over. Keep going. Keep transforming. Keep crushing new milestones. Here's the program to make it happen!
January, February, and March get a lot of attention as "transformation season," and it's no mystery why. The calendar flips over, the weather is colder, and you're inside anyway—might as well hit the gym so you can bloom when spring comes around, right?
On the other hand, the whole "season" mindset also has a downside. It begins, and then it ends. You can crank hard all through the winter with big ambitions, but come April, your life keeps going on whether you rose to the challenge or not. At this point, you're either Still In It...or you're out.
The good news? No time of year is better to change your life than any other. When you're Still In It, the minutes, days, and months are just a backdrop to the real calendar: your training schedule, meals, and your steady journey tostronger, leaner, and better.
Whether you just transformed, just wanted to, are doing the $50,000 Still In It Challenge, or have been Still In It for years, this eight-week program promises a change of pace and a new level of results.
Jump right in and see where it will take you!
TRAINING SUPERSETS AND CIRCUITS
Supersets don't get nearly enough love in the fitness world. Yeah, they're great for bis-and-tris burnouts, but they're just as effective for back, legs, and chest. Each movement in the pairing gives you a slightly different stimulus than the other, while both combine to give your body a loud-and-clear message to grow and get stronger.
For the next eight weeks, you're going to embrace supersets as a way of life. The strength portion of each of your workouts will be three supersets, with an occasional triset thrown in as equipment allows. Then, you'll perform one of two quick but explosive cardio sessions or one of a pair of burning ab routines. If you find you need to split the program and do weights during the day and abs or cardio at night, go for it.
It's a five-day split, which means you won't be doing chest or legs on the same day each week. This means you'll have slightly more to remember, but on the other hand, it also frees you from the rigid scheduling of most programs. If you get a day behind, just consider that your rest and get back on track the next day.
Here's the split:
- Day 1: Leg and Core Circuit 1
- Day 2: Chest, Shoulder, and Cardio Circuit 1
- Day 3: Back and Core Circuit 2
- Day 4: Arm and Cardio Circuit 2
- Day 5: Rest
The next time through, perform the #2 circuits in place of the #1 circuits, and vice versa (e.g., begin the second week with Leg and Core Circuit 2). Aside from that, the movements you perform won't change over the eight weeks, only the rep ranges.
If you're having trouble remembering what to do on any particular day, here's your cheat sheet:
- Weeks 1-3: 4 sets of 10-12 reps
- Weeks 4-6: 4 sets of 8-10 reps
- Weeks 7-8: 5 sets of 6-8 reps
A couple of weeks in, you'll wonder why you ever bothered with long, complicated recipes of straight sets in the past
