Summer usually means going to the beach or just hanging out somewhere with a pool. I think this season needs preparation, a lot actually.
I would like to introduce my friend Angela who is a model and an actress. She is also one of my good and supportive customers and I am here to tell you about her exercise regimen.
Here’s a one-week sample program I designed for Angela:
Monday: 45 MINUTES
30 minutes on the treadmill: steady changes every 2-3 minutes — lunges, running, jogging, walking, lateral lunges (talk about interval training at its best)
15 minutes – Steady time intervals focused on the whole body using resistance bands, body bar and Swiss ball (Angela doesn’t like to use machines)
Tuesday: BOXING DAY 1 HOUR
Interval shadow boxing with hand weights
6- 8 rounds of work with gloves
5 minute full body plyometric exercises
2 round interval jump ropes
Intense full abdominal work: 50-100 repetitions per exercise (10 exercises)
Wednesday: 20 MINUTES
Swim Day: 10 laps freestyle, 10 laps side stroke, 10 laps backstroke, 10 laps stroke (can’t do butterflies)
Thursday: BOXING DAY 1 HOUR
5 rounds: heavy bag exercises (speed and power every 30 seconds)
5 rounds: glove work (focusing on speed and power)
3 round burpees: 30 seconds of burpees, 30 seconds of shadow boxing, then switch)
Intense full abs workout: slow and controlled movements (75 repetitions each exercise)
Friday: 45 MINUTES
She does one of my recommended non-boxing routines from my eBook Train Like a Boxer: How to Get a Leaner, Stronger Body With Limited Time, Space, and Equipment. ([email protected] to request your copy TODAY).
Saturday: REST
Sunday: Angela plays in a recreational softball league (she says she kicks ass); tennis during the winter.
As you can see, no workout is the same in a week. This is a sample workout and the routines after each week change based on Angela’s request to KEEP YOU FRESH! The result? A leaner and stronger body!
