We pack 28 By Sam Wood full of a huge variety of workouts so that you can find something you’ll enjoy doing every day. However, we understand that choice can be good, and choice can be overwhelming! Struggling to decide which workout to do? Here’s a handy guide for you.
Firstly, let’s touch on planning your workouts. At 28 we’re constantly being asked the question: how many workouts should I do a week?
We recommend aiming for 3-4 workouts per week. That means finding 28 minutes in your day to book in a workout out – be that first thing in the morning before your day gets started, as soon as you finish work, during your lunch break, before you pick up the kids from school – wherever it fits! On days you’re not working out, we still recommend moving your body to keep circulation moving, and keep your metabolism pumping. A gentle walk, a stretch, or simply playing with your kids outside. Because movement isn’t just key to getting your body fit and healthy, it’s also absolutely crucial for mental health and happiness.
Now, let’s talk about the kinds of workouts on 28 to help you find something you’ll enjoy!
HIIT with me
HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. It consists of a selection of exercises that you do for a set period of time, followed by a small rest. Depending on which fitness level you’ve chosen for your 28 program, these moving and rest periods will differ in length. We like to mix up these HIIT sessions, but more often than not you will get a full body workout that will raise your heart rate and get you sweating!
