The 6 Week Summer Body Challenge
Build Muscle. Burn Fat.
It really is that simple. This 6 week plan is suitable for individuals looking to get into great shape for the summer, but have limited time, equipment or even access to a gym to spend training.
At SPC, our members of our group training programme are gearing up for the launch of our summer phase starting beginning of July. They will be put through their paces in a similar manner, using all the fantastic equipment SPC has to offer.
For those of you who can’t get to a gym or want to start something now before joining our group training programme, give this a try.
Suitable for beginners, intermediates or advanced trainees:
✓ You should be in a calorie surplus to get the most out of this to build muscle and a deficit to lose fat
✓ Make sure you are able to perform every movement correctly or regress it
✓ Once you have become accomplished with the movement, try adding a weighted vest to increase the intensity
✓ Don’t go to failure on anything, leave a few reps in the tank
✓ Progressive overload is done through reps and weight
✓ Warm up properly before every workout
✓ Perform a de-load week once you have completed the 6 weeks
✓ Align your calories to your goal
The programme designed is 3 full-body workouts, it is high frequency as you will be hitting all your major body parts 3 times a week, and it has enough volume and intensity for body composition changes, should you accompany your workouts with an appropriate nutritional plan.
