Exercise Recommendations
Please keep in mind that your diet is just as important (if not more so) as exercising when it comes to fitness. You should shoot for one gram of Protein for each pound of your goal weight (So if your goal weight is 150lbs, you should consume 150 grams of protein a day), and around 2,000 calories a day.
****PLEASE DO NOT DO THESE EXERCISES WITHOUT EATING***
This plan was developed by the host of Surviving Bloomington, Kc Winnecke, who has NO professional training as a Personal Trainer or Dietitian.
This is simply how Kc chooses to prepare for games like this, and this is his best recommendation based on personal experiences.
If you would like help developing an effective diet plan, please reach out to Kc and he will work with people on a individual basis!
Intermediate Workouts
These workouts are designed to be more challenging than the Beginner Workouts, and will be a strong benefit to your energy levels throughout the game. If you are able to complete these workouts consistently leading up to the game, then you should have no problem with the physical portion of Surviving Bloomington.
These workouts are designed to be time-efficient and possible to complete at home with no equipment.
At this stage, you should start working towards being able to run one mile without stopping. Do this at the end of your workout with a 5-minute, walking warm up and cool down.
Under each workout is one of the days of the week that we recommend doing the workouts. Choose one day for each workout. Complete these exercises for at least 2-4 weeks consistently before moving onto the Advanced Full-Body workouts.
Be sure to drink PLENTY of water!!! You should finish AT LEAST one full bottle of water for each workout, and shoot for half-a-gallon of water to a full-gallon of water each day.
Leg workout: Mondays OR Fridays
Ab workout: Wednesdays OR Saturdays
Upper Body Workout: Tuesdays OR Thursdays
