Title: Cracking The Week Of Workouts Secret
1Cracking The Week Of Workouts Secret
2These workouts are designed to get you to be
active in your day to day life. They require
minimal amount of time and can be done early in
the morning before work or school. Or after you
get home. They will take 30 mins on weekdays
and 1 hour on the weekends.
At just 4 to 5 hours a week, you can expect a
lot of fitness and toning in the muscles. To
allow for muscle memory and for your body to get
used to the workout, we have kept all workouts
similar in structure. Also, the warm up and the
cool down for all workouts will be the same.
In this way, your body will adapt to the
workouts better and you can modify the workouts
as you see fit.
Before you start, the Ask The Doctor team
strongly advises you to get checked up by a
Doctor. Alternatively, you can ask our Online
Doctors to clear you for
the workouts.

Warm up
Now that you have seen the general layout of the
workout, let us start with the warm up and the
cool down. In general, a good warm up should
leave your muscles warm and loose. You should
feel more energetic than you felt before the
workout. Our warmup will last for 8 minutes and
will cover the whole body. Here are the details
of the warm up
Jog on the spot - 2 mins Step ups (on a block)
- 2 mins Jump Rope - 2 mins Stretches - 2 mins
When stretching, ensure that you cover all the
major muscle groups. These are Neck to the
sides and front Triceps and Biceps Back Glutes
and Quadriceps Calf muscle
Stretching each for 10 seconds will take about 2
mins each. If it takes longer, it is alright but
ensure the muscles are loose. Spend more time on
the muscle if it is not loose.
3Cool Down
The next part you need to learn about is the
cool down. Many people tend to ignore the cool
down. Do not fall prey to this. Please do a good
cool down to prevent injury.
The cool down will involve Jog on the spot
slowly - 2 mins Slow walk - 2 mins Stretches - 2
mins
If you feel any tightness, then stretch the
muscle for a long time. For persistent pain or
any other pain that you think is related to the
workout, please ask our Doctors for an online
medical advice.
4Now that we have covered the warm up and the cool
down, we will get into the main sets of each
day. Each day will go in this order 1. Warm
up 2. Main set 3. Cool down
Only the main set in each day will change and
the rest will remain the same.
