I see that it only has two and three reps for each exercise, is it okay to change it and do four?

    Hi!

    Here is how workout A1 and workout B1 look:


    Stage 1 goes like this:
    If you work out 3 days a week, let's say M,W,F: first week you do M-A, W-B, F-A. Second week you do M-B, W-A,F-B. And you go like this until the end.

    Work out A 1:
    Squat- set 1, 15 reps , rest 60 sec

    Squat-set 2, 15 reps, rest 60 sec.

    Push up-set 1, 15 reps, rest 60 sec

    Seated Row-set 1, 15 reps, rest 60 sec

    Push up- set 2, 15 reps, rest 60 sec.

    Seated Row-set 2, 15 reps, rest 60 sec.

    Step up-set 1, 15 reps, rest 60 sec

    Prone jackknife-set 1, 8 reps, rest 60 sec

    Step up-set 2, 15 sets, rest 60 sec

    Prone jackknife-set 2, 8 reps, rest 60 sec.

    For Workout A2 you go the same way, A3 and A4-12 reps, A5 and A6-10 reps, A7 and A8-8 reps. The Jackknife goes, 8, 10, 12, 15 reps only.

    For Workout B1:

    Deadlift- set 1, 15 reps, rest 60 sec

    Deadlift-set 2, 15 reps, rest 60 sec

    DB Shoulder Press-set 1, 15 reps, rest 60 sec

    Wide-grip Lat Pulldown-set 1, 15 reps, rest 60 sec

    DB SHoulder Press-set 2, 15 reps, rest 60 sec

    Wide-grip Lat Pulldown-set 2, 15 reps, rest 60 sec

    Lunge-set 1, 15 reps, rest 60 sec

    Swiss-ball Crunch-set 1, 8 reps, rest 60 sec

    Lunge-set2, 15 reps, rest 60 sec

    Swiss-ball Crunch-set 2, 8 reps, rest 60 sec

    You follow the reps for B the same way as A wokrouts.

    Hope this helps!

    You should do the program as it is written for now. It might feel short but many of us could barely walk for days after
