Just Get Moving | 8 Week Workout Program

 

The next 8 weeks will involve a 4 day split that will include- Push Day, Pull Day, Leg Day, Core &
Conditioning Day. The 3 non training days, will be rest days BUT I highly recommend stretching and
rolling out DAILY.

When starting a exercise program for the first time, it is very important to build a strong foundation of
core strength, form, and patience. As the weeks progress, you will notice an advancement in exercises
and weights. If you ever feel like you are having a difficult time keeping up with the advancements or
don’t feel comfortable moving forward after any certain week, feel free to re-do a previous week to help
build confidence and technique with any particular exercises. To help better understand WHY should “I”
do this 4 day split, I will want to teach you what muscle groups will be paired to each day of the split.

-PUSH DAY: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps. These muscle groups are all “Pushing” muscles because they are
recruited to help the body push down, push up, and push away. A great example that involves all three
muscle groups at once is a push-up.

-PULL Day: Back, Biceps. These muscle groups are all “Pulling” muscles because they are recuited to help
the body pull down, pull up, and pull towards the body. A great example that involves both muscle
groups at once is a pull-up.

-LEG DAY: Quads, Hamstrings, Calves. These muscle groups are the other “50%” of the body. The Leg
groups also have pushing a pulling muscles that are activated in different exercises. The Quads are the
front of the legs and are pushing muscles. Hamstrings are the back of the legs and are the pulling
muscles. Both work together to complete exercises like a squat or lunge, but we will also utilize
exercises to isolate these groups to help strengthen.

-CORE & CONDITIONING: Having a stronger core ultimately builds a stronger body. We are talking about
doing more than a few sit-ups on this day.. This Day will also combine cardio as well. Cardio will help
with recovery and assisting you in keeping up with the advancement of exercises week after week.
