What equipment do I need? For this video you will require a Physio ball (or “exercise ball”), and some resistance tubing or free weights. There is a foam roller section as an added bonus which you will require a foam roller for deep tissue massage, and injury treatment and prevention. If you want to add intensity to the resistance programs, you can add either a wobble board or balance disk.
Where do I find this equipment? You can purchase all equipment from The Fitness Fix. Simply click on the Gear tab on the top of this page.
How often can I perform the videos? The videos can be preformed daily if you do a different section each day. Avoid repeating the same segment two days in a row to allow for muscle recovery. For example: if you work upper body one day, the following day should be lower body or core. If the whole body is worked one day, then a day of cardiovascular exercise, stretching, or complete rest should be put in between. For more information on weekly workout plans, please refer to the “Weekly Plan” section of this website.
Do I really need to stretch and have a recovery day? YES!!! Stretching and recovery are the only ways to ensure your body gets the time it needs to repair worked muscles, and to maintain or improve flexibility. Allowing for proper recovery can help prevent chronic injury! What should I do if my muscles feel stiff or sore after a workout?
