Welcome to the PowGen workout program!
Congratulations, you have just made the first step on the way to become a healthier, fitter and better version of yourself!
We prepared a great workout routine that you can do in the comfort of your home. You just need 2.5 m² of space and a towel.
Some of the exercises are hard and you may not be able to do them on your first try. Don't worry, we all have been there... The key is to persist and do your best! When you feel tired or you feel like quitting, take a short pause and then continue.
If you stick to this gym routine, keep your diet healthy and regularly take PowGen products, the first results should be visible in a matter of days!
The programme is divided into two full-body workouts focused on the upper body and two "HIIT" workouts focused on the abs and core, where each week gets progressively more difficult due to increasing reps and sets.
Cardio on day 3 is optional but highly recommended. You can do whichever activity you like (jogging, walking, cycling, hiking…), just make sure to do it for at least 30 minutes.
We believe in you!
3, 2, 1... GO!
DAY 1: Full-body Workout
Full-body workout is done in a circular fashion. You complete one exercise and move to the other with 30-45s rest in between.
Full-body Workout
In week one you take 10 reps per exercise / 30 seconds when the exercise demands holding in one position.
In week 1 you should repeat all exercieses in 3 rounds.
Aim to complete all the recommended reps with the best possible form. To make the workout harder you can increase how many sets and reps you do, or you can also decrease the rest time between the exercises. However if you are a beginner we do NOT recommend changing anything, since the program it self should be challanging enough.
