    Weekly Exercise Plan

    Strength Training: 3x5 Protocol

    Frequency: 3-5 times per week (adjust based on recovery capacity)

    Daily Routine:

    • Exercises: 3-5 exercises per workout
    • Sets: 3-5 sets per exercise
    • Reps: 3-5 reps per set
    • Rest: 3-5 minutes between sets

    • Day 2: Chest & Back - Bench Press, Pull-Ups, Rows
    • Day 3: Shoulders & Arms - Shoulder Press, Bicep Curls, Tricep Extensions

    Adjust repetitions for smaller muscle groups to 5-8 reps for better fatigue management 1 .

    Endurance and Cardiovascular Health

    Frequency: 3-4 times per week

    Routine:

    • High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): 20-30 minutes, combining exercises like burpees, sprints, and bodyweight movements (push-ups, sit-ups)
    • Moderate to Low-Intensity Training: Post-HIIT activities like walking, light cycling for 20-30 minutes, ideally in a fasted state for optimizing fat loss 2.

    Spine and Back Health

    Frequency: Incorporate into daily routine (e.g., as a warm-up or cool-down)

    Routine:

    Cognitive Awareness:

    • Maintain an awareness of movement patterns and spinal alignment throughout daily activities to prevent back pain and improve mobility 4 .

    Flexibility and Mobility

    Frequency: Daily

    Routine:

    • Dynamic Stretching: Prior to workout (focus on range of motion)
    • Static Stretching: Post-workout for all major muscle groups, holding each stretch for 15-30 seconds.

    Recovery Protocols

    Daily Routine:

    • Breath Work: End each workout with 3-5 minutes of decompress breathing or physiological sighs.
    • Neuromuscular Regulation: Develop both upregulation (focus) and downregulation (calm) techniques 5.

    Notes

    • Tailor the program to your specific fitness needs, adjusting the volume and intensity as required.
    • Remain mindful of your body's signals and avoid overtraining to ensure sustainable progress and recovery.
