Intro from Ross
Welcome to my Anytime Anywhere 8 week progressive fitness program. This plan is aimed to take
your fitness to the next level, without joining a gym! Ideal for both guys and girls, based on
exercises that you can do at home with minimal equipment, away from home, in the park or wherever
you want. I built this plan to provide you a whole body blast targeting all muscle groups.
It is set up as circuit style routines, made up of two circuits per workout. Each workout targets upper
and lower body muscle groups, using bodyweight and dumbbells for improving strength, whilst
incorporating bursts of high intensity cardio to maximise fat burning potential and sculpting a lean
body.
Week by week each circuit will introduce new progressive exercises that will constantly challenge
your body as it starts to adapt to the workload. The intensity will increase, pushing your body to its
limit in order to continually bring about desired change.
The programme has been specifically designed to burn fat and create all over body toning, with
descriptions and pictures to demonstrate exercises and technique, and my help along the way.
How to Run this Program - 1
8 weeks of training, comprising circuits that progress in difficulty and repeat every other week:
EQUIPMENT NEEDED: For many exercises, no equipment is required, while for some you will require a mat, a chair, a
step and/or dumbbells suitable for your size and level of fitness. This will be something you have to judge for
yourself. Ideally you will have a few different sizes to use, as effective weights may vary by exercise and muscle
groups being worked. Aim to challenge yourself without causing injury!
How to Run this Program - 2
Neutral Spine – Natural position of the spine when all the body parts are in alignment
Press up Position – Body facing the floor with arms extended (palms flat on the floor below the
shoulders) and feet in contact with the floor. Body aligned – ankles, knees, hips, shoulders and head
DBs – Dumbbells (weights)
Lateral – to the side
Engage the Core – The core is extremely important to stabilize the body during exercise and is made up
of a number of muscles within the mid section. The best way to think about engaging these muscles is to
imagine you’re bracing yourself for a punch in the stomach, stiffen the muscles to create a protective
cylinder around the abdomen
Glutes – The Glutes refer to the group of muscles that make up your bum, the ‘power house’ of the body
* Any exercises listed with a star mean that you complete the whole exercise for the 30 second / 1 minute
time period (depending on which week you’re on) on the same side/leg and then repeat the exercise
immediately after on the opposite side
When you see this symbol, it means that the exercise requires the use of dumbbells
Warm Up
Before every workout it is important to complete a 5-10 minute warm up in order to improve blood flow around the body,
ensuring that energy production is efficient and to prevent injury to muscles, tendons and ligaments.
You could start by foam rolling the whole body and then complete a short cardio warm up followed by these warm up
and mobility exercises for 30 seconds each, two times.
