Hey there #fitfam, today marks the first entry into a month long series of articles that will provide you with a great guide to construct your own weekly fitness plan. As I have previously mentioned, depending on how much time you are able to commit to working out, the program that I will share will allow you to complete a comprehensive workout on 2, 3, or 4 days in a week and get RESULTS! The goal is to help you gain confidence that you can create your own plan and stick with it with for the long haul. 

In creating your own plan, I recommend that you determine which accessories you will have access to, including weights, fitness bands, and other equipment. In general, I advise that you start with bodyweight exercises that you can do with limited time and space. The next consideration you should make is medical and injury history and add exercises that accomodate your physical limitations, if any. A key is to slowly collect equipment that you will actually use and not go overboard by buying items that will sit in your home collecting dust…I mean, how many people do you know that are using treadmills as coat racks and dumbbells as doorstops? Lastly, be sure to gradually increase repetitions over time or decrease reps if necessary (specifically if your body is excessively sore after lifting, no ego lifting y’all!). Just because you CAN lift it does not mean you SHOULD lift it.
