Sample Workouts – My Health and Fitness https://www.myhealthandfitness.com/US Explore it! Sun, 09 Apr 2017 20:28:10 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Example Strength Workout: Beginner/Intermediate and Golf Pro https://www.myhealthandfitness.com/US/example-strength-workout-beginnerintermediate-and-golf-pro/ Sat, 10 Dec 2016 18:01:25 +0000 http://www.myhealthandfitness.com/US/?p=9757 There are two example workouts in the following table, one day each. These are to give the reader a feel for what your exercise program could contain. The nomenclature is as follows: uw (unweighted), yc (your choice). Unless you are using a periodized program then, you will always choose the weight based on your capability. Also, body squats (the athlete trainer’s term) is used for what some call in place or air squats. The last term is a complete misnomer of the name.

As a note, you should check off each set when accomplished and always record the weight you lifted so you have a record of your workouts. And, complete all sets.

If you cannot complete specified reps, write in the number you performed.

The program is as easy as following a recipe.

Generally, sets and reps are written in the form of 3 x 8, etc. When they are written at 8, 8, 6, 6, etc. or if varied reps per set or used the first line is for the first set and next lines for subsequent sets. You will increase weight load each time you begin the next set. However, if you are beginning, use light weights to start. Feel free to email any questions you may have in our ‘contact us’ section.

Most programs come in 2-4 week modules, up to 12 weeks in length. Each is designed especially for you based on your own fitness and health goals. As previously mentioned, the following are show only one day of a typical program.

Professional level workout (sample-level 5) https://www.myhealthandfitness.com/US/professional-level-workout-sample-level-5/ Sat, 10 Dec 2016 16:47:42 +0000 http://www.myhealthandfitness.com/US/?p=9745 Professional/advanced-level programs are very rigorous workouts designed to maximize sports-specific performance. These workouts are specifically designed for you from personal information.

Such workouts are very demanding. The following is a one-day example of a level 6 workout program. Our programs go all the way to level 10. However, most cannot handle past level 6. Our founder constantly performed level 10 programs as examples to other athletes.

Most of programs we design for you come in 2-4 week modules, up to 12 weeks in length. Each is designed especially for you based on your own fitness and health goals. In the table below you will see various nomenclature. For example, wt means weighted (your choice), per refers to weight that is selected based on a periodized program (if you do not have a periodized program, choose a weight from 40 to 70 percent of your max load capability based on each exercise thus, the first rep would use 40% and up from there for each succeeding set) and, uw means unweighted.

5-Day Cardio (Running) https://www.myhealthandfitness.com/US/5-day-cardio-running/ Sat, 10 Dec 2016 16:11:40 +0000 http://www.myhealthandfitness.com/US/?p=9743 Our cardiovascular workouts are scientifically designed to burn fat while maintaining the greatest amount of lean muscle mass! The sample below is about 3 weeks in to a beginner level program. It is a 5-day sample. Feel free to modify it to fit your own needs based on the equipment you have or, lengthen or shorten the exercise period as necessary.

*MHR = maximal heart rate. To calculate yours, proceed to our “Tools” section and then, to “Target Heart Rate.” By entering your age in years, you’ll obtain a maximum heart rate. You should not exceed this rate. Below the number calculated will be two other heart rates. The first is a minimal, which is based on 70% of the maximum rate. The second is a maximal, which is based on 90% of your maximum rate. Maintaining your workout at a level between 70-90% of the maximum will give you optimal workout results.

To calculate other rates such as 80% of your MHR or Target Heart Rate, simple multiply your maximum by the fraction of the percent you are attempting to calculate. For example, if your MHR is 195 then, 195 x 0.80 = 156.

Most programs come in 2-4 week modules, up to 12 weeks in length. Each is designed especially for you based on your own fitness and health goals. And, we cater all the way up to professional athletes including those in the NFL, Olympics, NBA, MLB, NHL, etc. Dr. Tindall (our founder) has trained numerous elite athletes and continues to do so on a one-on-one basis. He also developed the first astronaut exercise training protocol for NASA for deep space travel. Imagine what he can do for you.
