Making Pump :30 Work for You: Beginner Modifications
Starting a new workout program can be intimidating, especially if you’re not used to working out. The Pump :30 is designed to get you in and out in just 30 minutes with highly effective & efficient workouts, but what if you find it too challenging at first? Then, start small. Scale down.
Scaling down the intensity and volume is key to keeping you motivated and injury-free.
Where to start with scaling
If you’re struggling with the prescribed number of reps or rounds, consider doing rest-pauses during your workouts. This approach allows you to take brief breaks, counting them within your workout time, and enables you to complete the workout at your own pace.
Start with lighter weights and increase when you get confident and stronger over time. This strategy ensures you maintain proper form and build strength gradually. Sticking to the time frame is crucial; it’s better to do fewer reps correctly than to rush through more with crappy form.
The goal is consistency > perfection, allowing you to build up your endurance and strength over time without killing yourself.
