“10 to 2”: EFM Health Clubs Home or Travel Workout
Below is a great 50-60 minute workout for when you can’t make your EFM Club and the great thing about the structure of the program is that it allows flexibility – be creative!
8 points to consider when planning this workout:
1. Warm up – remember to focus on the muscle groups you will be using in the session
2. This program can be performed with or without the availability of a gym
3. You may need to adjust distances, levels and quantity depending on your gym layout and available machines
4. Make sure weights are balanced, safe, that you’re using correct technique and appropriate resistance
5. Adjust times to suit your total available workout time.
6. Work through, in order, from top to bottom
7. If no cardiovascular machines are available, run or walk to replace the exercises given – e.g. for 10 minutes, walk out 5 mins and back again.
8. If no weights are available to you, substitute exercise for a body weight exercise of your choice
