PROGRESSION (FOR LIFE)


Every 6–8 weeks, change ONE of the following:

• Increase reps
• Increase band resistance

• Reduce rest time

Do NOT constantly change exercises.




KEY PRINCIPLES TO REMEMBER

• Train each muscle group 2 times per week
• Allow 48 hours recovery for same muscle
• Bands = lower joint stress, faster recovery
• Walking improves fat loss and heart health
• Consistency beats intensity
