I designed this workout plan for my friend Zlatka.
Zlatka:
- Is 55 years old.
- Is sedentary and about 20 Lb overweight.
- She doesn’t like gym environment.
- She was diagnosed with pre-diabetes (high blood sugar level).
- Her doctor recommended to her to exercise.
- She is a strength training beginner.
If you are a strength training beginner and want a simple way to start in strength training, try this workout too.
It is a great way to add strength training to your fitness program.
Simple directions/direkcie
- Keep your back straight/translation to Slovak/Udrzujte vystrety chrbat.
- You should feel medium hard resistance, if not, go for more resistant band or make the one you are using shorter by steping on it higher/Malo by to natahovanie tej gumy byt stredne tazke, ked nie je skratte gumu stupnutim na nu vyzsie.
- Do 3 – 5 circles of these exercises/Urobte 3 az 5 okruhov tychto cviceni.
- Do this workout 3 times per week – Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays/Cvicte tento plan v Pondelok, Stredu a Piatok.
1.Biceps curl – 20 repetitions
2. Lateral shoulder raises – 20 repetitions
3. Chest press – 20 repetitions
4. Seated rows – 20 repetitions
5. Shoulder press – 20 repetitions
6. Biceps curl squat – 20 repetitions
Dont sit. Just touch the chair with your butt.
Nesadajte si. Len sa dotknite stolicky zadkom.
Beside doing this workout plan 3 times per week – Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, Zlatka should do some cardiovascular exercise Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Since Zlatka is a beginner, fast walking for 30 minutes is a great option for her.
Translation to Slovak:
Zlatka, okrem vykonavania tohotoplanu 3 krat do tyzdna v Pondelok, Stredu a Piatok by ste este mali robit earobny trening– 30 minut rychlu chodzu v Utorok, Stvrtok, Sobotu a Nedelu.

Using resistance bands are great, i supplement them with dumbbells but now they are part of my life. Traing with resistance bands anywhere as they are so portable. I purchased them from http://www.suspensiontrainer.co.uk
