Fit2B™ Beginning Workout Path

Anyone is “Fit to Be” beginning this workout path!

After you complete the foundational five (F5) exercises videos which teach the basics, then it’s time for this clearly outlined path where you’ll begin to gradually increase time, workload and coordination in a gentle yet empowering way. Visualize the buttons below like stepping stones on a well-traveled pathway.

Review the Foundational Five F5 Here

Important Note: All of the workouts in this pathway offer TummySafe™ cues for those with diastasis recti. The goal for each week is to complete the exercise routines provided. The routines are meant to be spread out during your week. You’re not expected to do all the routines in one day. Sometimes, members repeat weeks over and over again if they don’t feel ready to move forward. Some like to do the routines in pieces, pausing a lot. Everyone is different. Skip the ones that you don’t like, and don’t hesitate to contact us if you get stuck or wish for an alternative workout recommendation. Give YOUR body what YOU need and move along when you feel ready. 

Week One: Do 4 short workouts + Sort Your Squatability!

Each week adds a bit more time and intensity. Repeat a week or a workout if you don’t feel ready to move on. There is no rush. This is about taking care of yourself.

Week Two: Do 4 slightly longer workouts + Stretch with Kelly!

These gentle routines should feel simple and straightforward. Do less or more as you feel able. Just one a day is fine. If one doesn’t feel like the right fit for that day, pick a different one. The order is up to you!

Week 3: Do 4 slightly harder routines + Sort your Xiphoid Process

If you miss a day, you’re not allowed to beat yourself up or give up! You also aren’t allowed to pile extra on yourself in an attempt to “make up” the work because your body will respond negatively to that, and so will your mind. Just do the next thing tomorrow! No worries! It’s just a workout!

Week 4 Goal: Complete these 4 slightly longer routines + Explore Weird Weights

“Daily Doubles” are sports practices that occur at two different times per day. We utilize this principle in the Fit2B Advancing Path, so we’re introducing it here to prepare you at a lighter level. Do one routine each day for 3 days {not necessarily in the row} then do the daily double for a 4th day.

Hippy Yoga - 21:35

Pilates in Pajamas - 23:08

Weird Weights - 21:39

Week Four Bonus: Try to accomplish some light cardiovascular training for 25-30 minutes on two additional days.This can be cumulative, meaning that you do 10 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes after lunch.

Week 5 Goal: Complete these 4 routines + A Daily Double!

You are getting stronger, but keep going at your own pace and listening to your body. It’s okay to press pause & chunk the routines into pieces. After all, that’s how I first put them together and practiced them myself – I don’t start by doing these longer routines all at once. I practice them in pieces and then put them all together. If this week looks too challenging, repeat week 3 or 4 and only move forward when you feel strong in your current workout.

Defining Deltoids - 29:45

Plain Ol' Pilates - 26:06
