đŸ’Ș Mom's New Workout Program for Apr-Jun

Fitness

I have been training my mom for over 6 months using three different workout routines: Strength, Power, and Mobility and Coordination. However, I have noticed that she has trouble remembering how to perform the exercises. This is because she only trains two days a week, so I have to rotate through all three routines. Initially, I wanted her to experience a variety of exercises, but now I feel that I have enough information to understand her strengths and weaknesses.

For this quarter, I have decided to combine them into 2 routines.

Each routine will include the training for Strength, Power, and Mobility and Coordination, providing a full-body workout. I am emphasizing bilateral exercises due to the significant differences in strength and mobility between each side of her body. Additionally, I am including more shoulder mobility exercises.

Routine A will focus more on Push Skills and Strength, with some Pull Mobility and Coordination exercises mixed in.

Routine B will focus more on Pull Skills and Strength, with some Push Mobility and Coordination exercises mixed in.

Apart from that, these routines are pretty straightforward. These are the ideal routines for each session, although I may need to make some adjustments based on time or available equipment on the fly.
