💥 DAY 4 WORKOUT
Day 4 is about training like an athlete — not a spectator. Don’t focus on how fast you move. Focus on how intentionally you move. Every step today builds the discipline you need for tomorrow.
1️⃣ WARM-UP (5 minutes)
Perform 40 seconds work / 20 seconds transition:
  • March or jog in place
  • Hip mobility (open/close the gate)
  • Light lateral steps
  • Arm circles + cross-body swings
  • Plank walkouts (slow and controlled)
Purpose: Raise HR, activate hips/shoulders, prepare for multi-directional work.
2️⃣ MAIN CARDIO SESSION (22–30 minutes)
This session revolves around ATHLETIC INTERVALS—forward, lateral, rotational movement patterns
🔥 OPTION A: BEGINNER — LOW IMPACT ATHLETIC CARDIO (20–25 minutes)
Perfect for men easing in, overweight guys, or joint limitations.
4 Rounds: 4 minutes each (rest 1 min between rounds)
Minute 1:
  • March fast in place OR low-impact high knees
Minute 2:
  • Lateral step-outs (quick feet, no jump)
Minute 3:
  • Standing shadowboxing (light punches, torso rotation)
Minute 4:
  • Step-back taps (alternating legs)
Total: 20 minutes + breaks
Goal: Keep intensity at 5–7/10, movement continuous.
🔥 OPTION B: INTERMEDIATE — ATHLETIC INTERVALS + BURSTS (25–35 minutes)
Designed for guys who can push without losing form.
5 Rounds: 4 minutes each (rest 1 min between)

Minute 2:
  • Lateral shuffles (10–15 ft or small space shuttles)

Goal: Stay at 7–8/10 effort, smooth transitions, no long pauses.
🔥 OPTION C: ADVANCED — POWER CARDIO + EXPLOSIVE ATHLETICISM (30–40 minutes)
This is your high performers’ playground.
5 Rounds: 4 minutes each (rest 45–60 sec)
Minute 1:
  • High knees (strong pace, chest up)
Minute 2:
  • Lateral shuffles → 3-second burst sprint in place → shuffle(Repeat continuously)
Minute 3:
  • Shadowboxing with slips, rolls, fast combos
