Week 1, Day 3:

1 Circuit, 3 Sets

Complete all 8 exercises in order before repeating the circuit.

This week is all about getting to know the exercises we’ll be doing throughout TK Peaches. Our goal is to find what weights are going to work best for different exercises and reps. For the most part, we’re going to be doing 12 reps of these exercises during week 1. My advice is to keep a note pad and pen handy so you can quickly jot down how much weight you lifted for each exercise. This way, we know how to progress!

Each workout consists of both lower and upper body exercises. For legs, we will always perform a thrust or bridge variation, a squat or lunge variation, a deadlift or hinge variation, and an abduction variation. As for upper body, I’ve split it into a back and biceps day, Chest and triceps day, and a shoulders and lats day!

During this first week, we will alternate between a lower body exercise and an upper body exercise. This will allow us to move quickly through the workout with minimal rest!
