Welcome to Virtual SWEAT! I’m so excited that you decided to join our Virtual SWEAT Fitness family!

Before you jump into the workouts, I want to tell you how to get the most from the program to maximize your benefits and results.

GETTING PREPARED FOR YOUR WORKOUTS

-You will need a workout mat and a set of weights for most workouts. Women can use 5-12lb weights and men can use 15-20lb weights. These items can be purchased from your local sporting goods store.

-You will need water and a towel accessible during the workouts.

-You will also need a mini band. I recommend the blue HEAVY Versa Loop from Power Systems, but any mini band will do. Keep this handy for all workouts because we use it often to tone and sculpt the lower body. https://www.power-systems.com/shop/product/versa-loops

GETTING STARTED WITH THE WORKOUTS

With your subscription, you have 24/7 access to all workouts in the SWEAT Fitness Library. You will find an extensive selection of workouts, and you can mix & match them however you choose. New workouts will be added regularly.

Workouts are separated into the following categories:

-1 Round Boot Camps (longer circuits you only complete once)

-2 Round Boot Camps (shorter circuits intended to be repeated)

-Burners & Finishers (focused workouts for abs, booty or upper body intended to follow Boot Camp)

-Warm-Ups and Cool Downs

THE SWEAT WEEKLY WORKOUT SCHEDULE

If you are new to SWEAT, I highly recommend you follow the Weekly Workout Schedule for several months. I’ve sequenced the schedule in a particular order to keep the workouts fresh, so you never plateau and your body is constantly challenged in new ways.

-The Weekly Workout Schedule is posted each Sunday on the top of the Virtual SWEAT Fitness Subscription Site.

-Each Boot Camp workout is approximately 1 hour, including a 4-5 minute Warm-Up and 4-5 minute Cool Down. Your Warm-Up and Cool Down can either be completed on your own or you can choose from the playlist of options by clicking on the Warm-Ups or Cool Downs button.

-The Boot Camp workout and the Burner/Finisher (if one is listed) can be found by clicking on the SEARCH button at the top of the Homepage and typing in the name of the workout.

-Workouts are scheduled for 3 days a week, e.g., Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays

-Rest days or alternative workouts are scheduled for the other days of the week. Examples of alternative workouts include jogging, swimming, yoga, cycling, or some other form of moderate intensity cardio for 45-60 minutes. Aim for 5 total workouts each week.

-It’s important to follow the specific instructions listed for each workout, completing the video once or twice depending on whether it’s a 1 Round or 2 Round Boot Camp.

-If you’re running short on time, you can complete only 1 round of a 2 round workout, or eliminate the Burner or Finisher workout.

-If you know you will be shortening a workout from the weekly schedule, try to make time later in the day, or on a rest day to complete the segment you missed.

Ready. Set. SWEAT!
