TIPS FOR THIS WORKOUT DAY Make sure each and every workout is at its best. Make sure you've eaten your breakfast and taken your pre-workout shake before your cardio. When doing your warm-up sets, pyramid the weight up to 70% of your maximum lift for the exercise. Working to failure means you won't be able to complete one more rep even if you want to. Your rest periods should last between 1 and 2 minutes, http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/krisgethin12weekdailytrainerweek1day1.html
but make sure you're recovered enough

Your rest periods should last between 1 and 2 minutes, but make sure you're recovered enough to complete the next set. Lying hamstring curls can be done without a machine by holding a dumbbell between your feet, but make sure you have a partner to help place the dumbbell and to help keep it between your feet. Get yourself a nice set of knee wraps to keep your knees safe during your heavy working sets. It is normal to feel a little lightheaded or a little sick. Get your post-workout shake in immediately after your workout.

Jay24S (Jake Cooper) And I thought I killed my last legs workout, starting this program tomorrow 4 days ago • Report • Reply
coolgfunny (Chris) So, the number of repetitions in the video doesn't seem to match the reps in the workout overview for each exercise. What do you all recommended following... the video, or the workout overview? June 1st, 2016 • Report • Reply
brosplit0408 (Joseph Thalgy) where does it tell you the amount of food to eat per meal May 14th, 2016 • Report • Reply
hammerhead611 (scott) Did you bother to read the Nutrition plan? I'm guessing since you asked this question, you didn't read it.

kdlady83 (Katie) The videos contain a lot of helpful information. Definitely cleared some questions up that I had. On another note, the first workout took me 1.5 hours :/ May 5th, 2016 • Report • Reply

gascrogin All, Would it be ok to workout in the morning and do the cardio later in the evening? April 26th, 2016 • Report • Reply
bodyjewels (Cynthia) am i correct ? 20 min pre cardio, 20 min after cardio?? April 20th, 2016 • Report • Reply
kdlady83 (Katie) In the video he does his first 20 minutes of cardio in the morning (stairs) and then the second 20 minutes of cardio in the evening after his weight workout. One of the cardio sessions should be done separate. (That's what I gathered from the videos) May 5th, 2016 • Report
B1ackFlag Yeah we walks home in the end which I guess counts as the 20 minutes of cardio. I think after this I'll prefer the walk as well. May 9th, 2016 • Report
billslattery (Bill) Hi, My gym does not have a hack squat (I know, right???) so is there an alternative exercise I can use? Feet forward on Smith Machine perhaps? April 14th, 2016 • Report • Reply
Danrick90 (Riccardo Tonellotto) I looked for an alternative exercise and found that you can do Barabell http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/krisgethin12weekdailytrainerweek1day1.html

Hack Squats. Unfortunately my gym is quite small and does not have a lot of equipment. I'd gladly hear somebody else's opinion too! April 16th, 2016 • Report
