Beach Body by Summer…with this gradual plan (Part 4)

Are you ready to get a Beach Body by Summer?  This 4 part series all started when my brother asked for some tips on how to gradually start eating healthier and exercising. Out of one little request I created an entire program that revolves around clean eating, cardio exercise and now includes a total body home workout.  Before you begin this latest workout it’s a good idea to check out “Beach Body by Summer…part 1, part 2, and part 3. 

Before we move on to the workout, here’s a 7 day meal plan that I created and one that fits perfectly into our total body program.  Here you will find 5 small meals a day and many delicious and healthy recipes to go along.  Be sure to check out The Gracious Pantry’s meal plans as well. Together we are doing a two week No-Sugar-Challenge and we’d love you to join in on all the fun.

The following will be needed before beginning this workout:

1) 2-3 sets of dumbbells…varying in weight from 3lbs to 15lbs.  I recommend starting with 3 sets of the following weights: 5 lb dumbbells, 8 lb dumbbells, 10 lb dumbbells. Be sure to try them out before purchasing to ensure they are not too light or too heavy.

2) Stability ball…cost around $15. Or, a flat workout bench which is anywhere from $40 and up.

When working out it is important to vary the amount of weight you lift. 
For example:
- Set 1 use 5 lbs
- Set 2 use 8 lbs
- Set 3 use 10 lbs

Interval Training:  Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday are Interval Training/Cardio days.  This is a very important part of your workout and must be included in order to get the best overall results. 

**Be sure to check with your doctor before beginning this or any other workout program.
