My Workout Method

For the next year, I will be following the LIVE THE LIFE workout method:

WORKOUT METHOD
There are FOUR methods to LIVE THE LIFE resistance workouts. These
methods have been proven to be one of the healthiest and fastest ways to get
a woman’s body lean. Our Workout Method combines the four methods.  This
keeps your body from plateauing, which forces your metabolism to constantly
burn fat. Using these methods in your workout routine will bring unbelievable
results in just 12 short weeks.

TOTAL WORKOUT TIME: 30 min.–1 hr. (Depends on Workout Method)

DEFINITIONS:
SET = an exercise completed with a specific amount of repetitions
REPS = short for “repetitions”

3 SETS OF 15
Do 15 reps of one exercise, rest no more than 30 seconds,
and then repeat the same exercise. Repeat this set 3 times.
This method is perfect for building muscle and creating a
beautifully-shaped body. Higher reps demand your muscles to
respond immediately, which “energizes” your metabolism. As a
result, you will burn more fat!

SUPERSET
Do one exercise with 8-12 reps then quickly do 8-12 reps
of your next exercise; take no more than 15 seconds rest in
between the two exercises. Repeat this superset 3 times. This
method works two body parts to the max in a short amount
of time. Get ready to burn; supersets keep your body working
throughout the entire workout.

4 SETS OF 12
Do 12 reps of one exercise, rest no more than 30 seconds then
repeat the same exercise. Repeat this set 4 times. This method
tests the muscles you’ve been building and challenges your
muscle endurance with that extra fourth set.

CIRCUIT
Do one exercise with 8-12 reps then quickly do 8-12 reps of
your next exercise; take no more than 15 seconds rest. Keep
moving through each exercise until you’ve done them all. Then
repeat that specific circuit 3 times. This method will give you a
great sweat. You may choose to lighten up your usual weight
on this method or you may not be able to make it through
your circuit.

BUILD YOUR BASE
Building your base means to build the strength of your core muscles. We
strongly believe that there is one exercise that is crucial to obtaining a flat, tight
stomach: the Plank Hold. The Plank Hold is frequently performed throughout
the 12-week LIVE THE LIFE program. We strongly encourage you to perfect
the Plank Hold. This will assist you in building your strongest core possible,
ensure proper body mechanics throughout all other exercises, and give you a flat,
tight stomach.
