This week is focused on establishing weights for each exercise and each set.
- 20-30 minutes of low-intensity cardio each day
- Weight should bring us close to failure on each set
- Maintain proper technique
- Tempo should be 3/1/X/1 on all exercises
- Rest 1-2 minutes between each set
- Increase weight by 5-10 lbs on weighted exercises from week 1
