All exercise sessions will begin with a warm-up period. The warm-up allows your body to gradually prepare for vigorous exercise by increasing the blood flow to muscles. The increased blood flow, raise in the body's core, and joint movement help increase flexibility and reduce the risk of injury.

Pull-ups (and/or chin-ups) are the primary strength development exercises used in this program. Yes, they can be very difficult. The objective is to be able to do "dead-hang" pull-ups. If you can not complete one at first, don't worry and don't give up. You will get stronger just handing from the bar. Attempt to to the prescribed number of repetitions. You can use your body's momentum during the jump up to help or swing to get momentum for assistance.

Crunches will be the principal abdominal exercise used throughout the program. Like with pull-ups, attempts and partial crunches are better than no crunches at all. Remember, practice makes perfect.

The main cardio-vascular endurance activity in the Flab-to-Fit exercise plan will be jogging. Do be concerned if you can not jog the entire distance. All jogging sessions can be jog-walk sessions for the prescribed distance. Like anything else, your system needs to develop in order to master the activity. Do what you can and you will continually improve.

Cool-down periods will conclude each training session. The cool-down allows the body to gradually return to a resting state. The cool-down will include light activities and stretching.
