Today, I continued my detailed research about my double page spread. I specifically was looking for things that are the most effective and have showed the best results. I will stragtegically pick 10-12 different ab exercises that will be labeled on the calendar, for example- "ab exercises 1,2,3, 4 (x)4 with the page following it having each exercise numbered with a picture of bella each one with a description of directions/ maybe benefits of the exercises (if it doesn't look too crowded). Some that are a little more difficult will have alternate easier options.
Opposed to typical belief, a rest day is just as important as any of the other elements of the whole process of transforming the abdominal region. Knowing this, I looked into how rest days sound come into play in a workout plan, how many rest days, how often, etc. Well Bridges' website aided me in knowing that rest days are needed for results because it allows the body to recuperate and become more efficient. For someone who is more of a beginner, it is suggested a full rest day is very important because the body is not very accustom to the strain. Opposed to this, someone who is, for example an athlete or works out very often, it is suggested if anything a lighter day if a rest day is not wanted. Skipping a rest day can put anyone, advanced or beginning, at risk of injury. So, with this information I picked at least one out of the 7 days a week for a rest period. I will note however, that on these rest days diet should be cleaner than others since the body is not working to burn off excessive calories consumed during the day. I chose Sunday as a rest/light day every week (depending on level) because it is typically a family day and a day where someone most likely does not work or have school.
