EXERCISES

Body Burn

is a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout in which you perform intense exercises for 60 seconds before resting for 30 seconds to recover and prepare for the next challenging interval. These concentrated bursts of activity help you burn fat at an amazing rate. There are no weights to think about or repetitions to count, as it follows the AMRAP system, where you aim to perform As Many Reps As Possible within the required time slot.
We recommend doing the Body Burn workout no more than four times per week and avoiding consecutive days. Follow with a recovery day or one of the other workouts after completing this one.
Warm up before starting with some mobility and pulse raising activity.

Body Blast increases power, speed and recovery by challenging you to complete as many of the exercises as you can in 10-, 20- and 30-minute sessions. The goal is to complete 20 repetitions of each exercise. However, if you feel that your technique is suffering due to fatigue, just move on to the
next exercise on the list. Try to complete the list in the time that you have given yourself, but don’t stop there. If you have done one entire round, simply go back to the top of the list and start again.
Body Blast can be completed every day of the week or performed as an energizing workout between Body Burn and Body Strong sessions. Warm up before starting with some mobility and pulse raising activity

Body Strong tones your body while building lean, firm muscle. Smart exercises target a wide range of different muscles to build coordinated functional strength that enhances everything from sports-specific movements to the activities of daily living. You perform 6–12 repetitions of six pairs of exercise, doing each pair three times in a row. The workout is designed so that when you move on to the next pair of exercises, you’ll be targeting different muscle groups. Because there is no recovery period factored into the workout, you simply keep moving to the next set of exercises until you have completed the list.
As with most strength-based workouts, it’s best to avoid doing the same workout on consecutive days. Take a rest day or perform one of the other workouts after completing this one.

Warm up before starting with some mobility and pulse raising activity.

Body Revive is a recovery program that uses a foam rolling routine to relax sore muscles while improving mobility and range of motion. By moving the roller across the muscle in a smooth, rhythmic action, the soft tissue and fascia are massaged, which can reduce post-exercise muscular pain, improve your mobility and increase the range of motion within tight joints.
It’s particularly beneficial to roll before a workout in order to maximize the elasticity of your muscles, but you can also do it as a muscle recovery session on the days that you aren’t working out.
Perform each move for 1-2 minutes and be sure to repeat moves on each side of the body, left and right

Body Score makes it easy to track and review your progress, always challenging you to improve your overall functional fitness. A simple list of timed exercises and a straightforward scoring system help you keep track of how far you’ve come and how far you can still go. Perform each exercise for one minute each with one-minute recovery. Count each repetition that you perform within 60 seconds, then record your reps for each exercise.
Check your progress as often as you’d like with the Body Score workout, but every 30 days would be our suggested time frame.

Our signature 60-day Connexus Program takes out all of the guesswork, giving you a complete plan that makes it easy to work out often and effectively for transformational results. All workouts can be completed in just 30 minutes or less, and the program even includes foam rolling sessions to revive sore muscles while improving mobility and range of motion. The program puts Connexus workouts in a challenging but productive sequence.
The best program is the one that you can commit to, so add more recovery days or incorporate other workout types to suit your needs and goals
