Once you’ve built a solid foundation with your beginner workouts, it’s time to take the next step: progressing from beginner to intermediate. At Shark Bite Fitness, we help you make this transition smoothly by increasing the intensity of your workouts while continuing to focus on form and safety.
Signs You’re Ready to Progress
How do you know when it’s time to move from beginner to intermediate workouts? Here are a few signs:
- You’ve Mastered the Basics: You feel comfortable with basic movements like squats, push-ups, and deadlifts.
- Your Workouts Feel Too Easy: If you’re consistently finishing your workouts without feeling challenged, it’s time to level up.
- You’re Consistent: You’ve been working out regularly for at least 2-3 months and feel ready for more.
How to Progress Safely
As you move to the intermediate level, it’s important to increase the intensity of your workouts gradually to avoid injury. At Shark Bite Fitness, we make sure you progress safely by adjusting your workouts as you get stronger.
Here are some ways we help you advance:
- Increase Weights: Gradually lifting heavier weights helps you build more muscle and strength.
- Add More Reps or Sets: Increasing your reps or sets challenges your endurance and helps you break through plateaus.
- Incorporate New Exercises: We introduce more advanced exercises to keep your workouts challenging and exciting.
Intermediate Workout Example
Here’s an example of how we might progress your workout:
- Warm-Up (5-10 minutes): Light cardio.
- Strength Training (4 sets of 8-10 reps):
- Barbell Squats (increase weight from dumbbell squats)
- Pull-Ups (use a band for assistance if needed)
- Deadlifts (increase weight)
- Dumbbell Shoulder Press
- Cardio (20-30 minutes): HIIT training, cycling, or running.
This routine adds more intensity and complexity to your workouts, helping you continue to build strength and endurance.
