More Workout Tips Feel confused about this? Find the answers to common questions below. What if I miss a day? If you miss a day, you can move on to the next day or do two videos in one day. This workout plan should be thought of as a guideline, so if you mess up here and there, don't worry—just get back to it! How can I track my workouts? All of our Bootcamp videos are integrated into your SparkPeople Fitness Tracker. Simply go to your Fitness Tracker and search for any keyword from the video's title to add it to your tracker. You can also click the "Track Calories Burned" button that appears under the video screen to add it to your tracker. What if I can't do some of the exercises? Most of the videos will give you ideas to modify your workouts. But if there's any reason you can't do a certain exercise, don't feel pressured to try it. You can modify it as instructed, decrease your range of motion, use less weight (or no weights), or just skip the exercise entirely. Be sure to listen to your body and work at your own pace. When should I start? You don't have to start this fitness plan on any particular day or week. The workout challenge was designed to begin (Day 1) on a Sunday. However, you can start Day 1 on any day of the week. Or if you'd rather, you can begin in the middle of a week, starting on a Tuesday with Day 3, for example. As long as you do the videos in order, you don't need to worry about which specific days you do them on. What if I have more questions or need support? Join our January Jumpstart Workout Challenge to connect with other people who are following this workout plan. There, you'll also get weekly emails to help you stay motivated and reach your goals! Overall, this workout plan will make sure you're targeting each of your major muscle groups to get your body into great shape. By doing a different workout each day, you'll have more fun and be more likely to stick with it! Enjoy! |
