Plan Details
The Aki's Strong Body routine by AkiraJones is a 5 day workout plan. It is an intermediate level plan to achieve general fitness goals.
Good whole body workout, with lot of basic compound moves. Alternating days of lifting 5x5's with the barbell and two HIIT circuit's with the kettlebell. Do the kettlebell exercises in 40 second work interval, with 20 seconds of rest. Always do the same amount on each side. If the kettlebell circuit is too much in the beginning, then just quit when you are still feeling good. Do not push yourself so far that you don't want to workout the next day. Start with fairly easy weight, it'll get heavier towards the end. Use "step loading" on barbell and kettlebell weights. Use the same weights so long(weeks/months) that they start to feel easy and then load some more, so it is challenging for you again. One day a week do stretching, running, cycling, yoga or any type of cardio sports. Just walking around the city, or in the woods will do it. About an hour of this is sufficient and remember to keep it easy. When taking rest days you can do every other day, or train for two and rest for one... however you like. But no more than 2 rest days in a row. After two rest days, go and do a workout. Or just do something, like 10 kettlebell swings or take a walk, just do something. Remember not to stay away form training more than 2 days in a row. Keep all of your workouts under 40min! When you go do them, you do them with intensity. Training should make you feel energized! Focus on consistency over intensity. Do this and get in shape! =)
