Hello friends!
If you're wondering where the first semester Zoom class is, I've added it to the blog section to celebrate our first anniversary. You can access it for free from here.
Zoom classes are also an incredible series of exercises that we use to record our own development process. Therefore, it's an exercise series that will take you from a beginner to a great exercise enthusiast, even if you have no prior exercise experience.
What materials are needed?
In my opinion, the essentials for group classes are dumbbells, a mat, and running shoes.
How should you choose a mat? I usually use a yoga mat for my workouts. They are typically 4 or 6 mm thick, but 10-15 mm thick mats are also recommended for exercise. I leave the choice up to you.
I think athletic shoes are very important because they can also help prevent potential injuries.
I understood the importance of a proper sports bra during this program. At that time, my baby was 3-4 months old, and I was going through a period where I was quite overweight, both in terms of weight and breast size. I realized that a good quality exercise leggings and bra not only supported my body during exercises but also made me feel good. Because these kinds of garments provide a better grip during hops and jumps. Of course, these are all suggestions. Whether you buy them or not is up to you. I recommend dumbbells; we use them in classes.
How can I choose the right dumbbell?
Since our classes combine HIIT and weight training, dumbbells play a crucial role. If the dumbbells don't challenge you enough, you won't get the same benefit from the workout after a while, and it will start to feel too easy. Therefore, it's important that the dumbbells you use challenge you to some extent. I generally used 1-3-5 kg in these programs. As the programs progressed, I added 7-10 kg. Of course, this doesn't mean you can't get the most out of your workout without dumbbells. You definitely will, but the idea of not being challenged can cause some people to feel like they're not doing anything meaningful. If you're one of those people, I wanted you to know the role of dumbbells.
Do I need to use dumbbells?
No, you're not! It's entirely up to you. You can perform the movements with your hands as if you had dumbbells.
Where can I do this exercise?
You can do it anywhere you want. Since the videos will be on YouTube, you can download them and do it even if you don't have internet access.
Important Reminder!
This is a 5-week exercise program, spread over 3 days a week.
What time of day should I do it?
The most suitable time for you is the best time of day.
Do I need to exercise outside of the program?
I think NOT! You can continue with our routine this month if you want. Classes will increase in future semesters. You don't need to overexert yourself at first.
Zoom Group Class
The program you purchased is from my Zoom group classes. These are not edited videos. Therefore, the pricing reflects that. If you prefer to use edited videos for exercises, you can find my programs on my website.
These sessions involve high-intensity exercises. If you get too tired and feel like you can't continue, you can always pause the video and rest. You can spread the exercise throughout the day. However, please do not end the exercise before completing the stretching.
What should my diet be like?
In this November-January program, I haven't followed any specific diet plan or imposed any restrictions on myself. I advocate for a sustainable system. We'll see together in the coming months whether my system works :) My suggestion is to make small changes this month without stressing yourself out. Big changes all at once might not be accepted and could completely discourage you. We don't want that to happen. If you want to improve your nutrition skills and make it sustainable, I definitely recommend my 4-week nutrition ebook. It's much more than just a diet plan.
You can tag my Instagram page #gulsjourney to let me see your posts and share them on my page. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback about the program, please write to me at gulsjourney@gmai.com.
Thank you.
