Music motivates people to move. What we listen to in our “lab” may be different that what you listen to. Therefore, we didn’t insert any music in this first batch of videos. If you have a favorite group/song you want to hear, email the title and artist to us. We’ll begin taking the most popularly requested songs and inserting them into our next batches of videos.
Unfortunately, until Apple releases a solution, you are unable to listen to your own music content while viewing your video content. Trust us. We’re as anxious as you are.
Although each movement has a list of instructions to guide you through the correct form, they are solely visual. We’re currently adding audio to all movements which will be available for re-download at no additional cost. We’ll be sure to let the Empire know when that happens.
- Start by decreasing the weight or resistance. Still not happening? Modify it using the modification guide at the end of each workout.
- If you’re having a slight flare up in the soft tissue: Skip the exercise. Maintenance the body first, then reintroduce the exercise using less resistance and modifications.
- If you’re just plain injured, consult your Doctor before continuing with your program.
Keep in mind not all modifications are listed. The modifications we provide are general to the planes of motions typically used in each workout. For additional modifications not listed, please consult a certified personal trainer or physical therapist.
Each workout is done two ways:
- As a “Large Circuit.” You’ll cycle through each position once, and then repeat them all.
- “Mini Circuits.” You’ll cycle through one row of positions (usually 3-4 in each row), repeat those, and then move on to the next row until all rows are finished.
Occasionally you will see a note in the comments of each workout that details instruction for an interval cycle. Be sure to include that in your workout.
Sets in most of the workouts are between 10 and 20 reps – so a bit on the high side. Therefore, scale your resistance accordingly.
Each workout is full body and is moderate to accelerated in level of intensity. Click here to check out some of the movements. Are you gonna pull up your socks, or go back to the Globo-Gym style of workouts?
Red workouts are more strength based. Green workouts have slightly more endurance and cross training. We’ve ordered them a certain way to build patterns correctly and give you the best results. You don’t have to follow them numerically, however. You’ll still get great results just doing each of them.

Yes. You’re listening for them to say “yes.”
To give your body the rest it needs when performing our workouts, we strongly suggest at least two days of rest between workouts.
Get your cardio in! Maintaining your cardio base is essential to the success of the workouts. You’ll want to do at least 35-45 mins a day. Along with the cardio, be sure to post-stretch, and get your body maintenance in (baseball, foam roller, hand roller). Click here to check out our stretching and foam roller routines.
