The Green Zone is for you if you are new to weight training or if you have not been weight training recently and have a low fitness classification in chapter 3. The very low-intensity workouts in this zone gradually initiate you to weight training and to make you feel more confident and comfortable in the weight room.

Zone Highlights

The Green Zone covers three two-week workouts for each training outcome. There is one exercise—called a foundational exercise in the other color zones—for each of the seven major muscle groups: chest, back, shoulders, front of upper arm (biceps), back of upper arm (triceps), thighs, and core.

If you do not have the necessary equipment or you do not feel comfortable or experienced enough to perform any of the three exercises listed for a muscle group, go to the exercise finder in chapter 6 to choose a replacement exercise for the same muscle group. Further, if you want some variety at any point in your program, you can also find a replacement exercise as long as it trains the same muscle group. Be aware, though, that your strength will not be the same because you are not used to performing the new exercise.
