Disclaimer: Always consult with your doctor or physical therapist before starting any new workout routine. Following this workout is always at your own risk. Listen to your body during exercise, and stop immediately if you experience any discomfort or pain.


The Gym Workout Plan consists of 24 different workouts with a 4-day workout split, meaning that we rotate between Upper Body, Lower Body, Total Body, and then Cardio+Core workouts. For more info on the Gym Workout Plan click here. A home workout version of this workout can be found here.



Equipment for this workout: Long exercise band, weight plate, dumbbells, assault bike, kettlebell. 

Info: Start with a total body warm-up. The workout today is what is called a Base routine which means you are doing the same exercise in between each exercise. Today there are two exercise routines, each 12 minute AMRAP which means to get in as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes. Add a finisher if you feel you need a little extra and end with stretches.

If it says e.g. 4/4x then I mean finishing 4 reps first on the right side (R) and then 4 on the left (L). If it says e.g. 8x and this is an exercise that tests both R and L then this is the total number of repetitions and you alternate between R and L.
