Program Layout• StretchingStretching• Cardio:Cardio:
– Walking.– Cycling.– Rowing.– Stepping.– Skipping.– Swimming.– Running.– Cross-trainer.
• Weight training: Weight training: • whole body (All muscle groups).• Upper body• Lower body• Core 6
Tips• Mix it up!• Example:
– 10 min treadmill walking– 20 crunches – 20 dips– 20 lunges– 5 min rowing– 1 minute bridgehold– 20 bicep curls– 20 squats– 5 min skipping

Tips• Rotation! Rotation! Rotation!Rotation! Rotation! Rotation!• Example:
• 3 sets of crunches, side lying leg raises, push ups.
• Instead of doing the same exercise 3 times after each other, rotate
3-5 exercises to prevent boredom and maximize your effort by
giving your muscles time to rest between sets.

Myths1. Women shouldn't lift weights because it'll make them bulky.2. Your weight is the end all, be all.3. Low-intensity exercise burns more fat.4. “You can spot reduce for tight abs or toned arms. i.e. Doing crunches to
burn fat off the abdominal area.5. Your cardio machine is counting the calories you're burning.6. As long as I go to the gym 30-45 minutes, that gives me a pass to do what I
want for rest of the day.7. No pain, no gain.8. If I can't workout often enough and hard enough, I might as well not even
do it.9. If I eat more protein/take supplements, I can build big muscles.10. Home workouts are fine, but going to a gym is the best way to get fit. 11. “I’m not losing weight as fast as she is, I must be doing something wrong!”

Supplementation for Performance Enhancement
• High protein diet:
• Harmful:Harmful:
• Excess protein damages kidneys (excess nitrogen from protein
breakdown by-product).
• Add excess saturated fat & cholesterol – increase risk for heart disease.
• Low levels carbohydrates leads to state of ketosis (acidosis) in the body
due to incomplete breakdown of fats, due to insufficient carbs.
10
Supplementation for Performance Enhancement
• More than 50% of competitive athletes in some sports consume
supplements on a regular basis in hope of enhancing performance.
• Vitamin B: plays key role in regulating energy yielding reactions during
carbohydrate, fat & protein catabolism.
• Vitamins E, C & E serve as anti-oxidants to protect the body against harmful
free radicals released during exercise.
• Fat soluble vitamins: A, D, E & K – excess results in toxic concentrations.
• Water soluble vitamins: C & B complete – excess is excreted through urine.
• Research has shown that chronic multivitamin supplement intake does not
enhance aerobic fitness, muscular strength or athletic performance. 11
Supplementation for Performance EnhancementProtein/carbohydrate shakesProtein/carbohydrate shakes
• 1 hour before (Energy boost & aid in training).
• NEVER during.
• Immediately afterwards (Recovery).
12
How much energy are you burning?
• Running (flat surface): 1kCal/kg/km.
• Example: 60kg = 60 kCal per kilometer.
• i.e. more weight = more calories.
• To lose 0.45kg, you need to burn 3500kCal.
• Resistance training: 6-9kCal per minute (based on 68kg) depending
on intensity.
