For the third week, I am adding a resistance band. I am using Bodylastics that can be purchased here. It does not have to be Bodylastics. You can purchase any resistance bands from your local sporting good store such as Sport Authority, Modell's Sporting Goods, or what ever local sporting good stores that you have in your town. They range from $10 to $60 depending on the quality of the product.
This is only my third week and I am already noticing a difference with my body and how I feel. I am still doing the full body workout but challenging my body even further by adding more resistance with the band.
Before week #4, get yourself a stability ball because I will start implementing it for my week 4 workout routine. A stability ball is cheap and extremely versatile. If you don't have one, make sure to pick it up at your local sporting goods store. I will be using resistance bands and stability balls through out my program.

You can follow this program the way it is laid out. You may have to re-adjust the reps according to your fitness level. Try to do this exercise 3 times this week in nonconsecutive days.
All exercises are done in supersets. For example, Squat are supersetted with Chest Press with the band. Do NOT rest within the superset (between Squat and chest press), but rest 1 minute after squats before repeating the superset.
