Fitness Jargon
D
Fitness Jargon: # Exercise L/R (ex. 10 Single Leg Deadlifts L/R) = Perform the exercise 10 times on each side Superset= Most of the time, your exercises will be grouped as supersets. Supersets are 2 or more exercises that are meant to be done back to back and then repeated for set/rounds. (Ex. Squat + Press Superset- 3 rounds= do your squats immediately followed by your chest press, repeat 3 times) Circuits= Circuits are used for warm-up, movement prep, and exercises where I don't care if you record the weight that you use. All you will need to do is mark that you completed them. Set/Round= the number of times you are to perform all of the exercises listed Rep= the number of times you are to do each exercise, number is usually listed before the exercise (ex. 10 Squats = do 10 squats) KB or Bell= Kettlebell

Verified Athlete"Emma's program is amazing. I was feeling so down about my injury and about having to work out from home. I never thought I could get stronger, at a time when I was not feeling good about myself. Everything you’d expect improved…my swings, my cleans, my Turkish Get-Ups…and I even can SNATCH!!"

Verified Athlete"My biggest accomplishment was finally learning how to do the kettlebell swing without hurting my back. I’d watched so many people do them in the gym and was always scared. Now I not only feel confident in my form, I can swing 40lbs!"
