5 Factor workout - Harley Pasternak

Harley breaks exercise sessions into 5 minute groups meaning if you’re short of time you can do two sets of 5 minute work outs and leave the other 3 until later in the day.

The 5 minute workouts couldn’t be easier to follow and yet they're so effective that you'll see significant results within weeks of joining. Harley breaks the exercise sessions up so that you ease yourself in and work up to a more intense workout.

Phase 1
Initially you have a gentle cardio workout, this warms up the muscles and gets the blood flowing to the organs. If your heart rate does not speed up after a few minutes you need to increase the intensity of the warm up.

Phase 2 and 3
Next you carry out 5 minutes each of upper and lower body exercise. These might be as simple as hamstring curls and bicep curls, it's best to vary the types that you do-Harley has plenty of interesting suggestions for you to try out.

Phase 4
Core training targets all 4 muscle groups that make up your core. You’ll do abdominal exercises each day, but they will be 5 different ones over the course of the week. Phase 4 of the workout will vary from day to day. On day 1 you may do ball crunches whereas day 2 will be seated side beans with weighs in your hand.


Phase 5
Finally you do five minutes of intense cardio work.

It’s all so simple, as the exact exercises you need to do are described on the tescodiets website. This exercise plan will continue to help you reap results no matter how long you decide to keep it up for. For many of Harley’s clients the 5 Factor Fitness plan has become their permanent fitness routine.

The online 5 Factor fitness plan actually recommends you take 2 days break from the workout per week so sit back, relax and think about how much progress you are making.
