The Gym's Guided Workouts are groups of exercises, within a structured outline (the workout), that you can perform in the 'real-world'; your own environment. The exercises are comprehensively illustrated as applicable.

Every Reading Excellence exercise follows this Framework:

1. Expectation; why are you doing this exercise?
2. Preparation; what to do before you start reading.
3. Orientation; how are you going to do the exercise
4. Execution; what to do while you are reading
5. Reflection; what to do after you finish reading
6. KPI; how to measure your Key Performance Indicators
7. Conclusion; what you learnt from the exercise

Reading Excercise Framework Sections

1. Expectation
Each exercise or workout will state its objectives, which will help you understand why you are asked to perform the exercise or workout and what exactly you should be aiming for. Some exercises may focus on speed, others on new hand/eye movements, while others on comprehension, concentration and/or recall.

2. Preparation
This section will detail the preparations needed before real reading begins. It will usually cover the following:
1. Reading material (type, level of difficulty, content, length, etc.)
2. Accessories (markers, ©Memory Friends, writing/typing tool, timer device, etc.)
3. Timer device settings (length, intervals, etc.)
4. Reading guides (pointers, hand/fingers, transparencies, markers, etc.)
5. Pre-reading markers (page markers to aid reading and jump movements)

3. Orientation
This section will detail the exact steps to perform. Each Orientation will encompass 4 main subsections:
1. Outline; main context of the exercise
2. Steps; exact steps to perform the exercise
3. Movie; Flash movie of the Steps, if relevant
4. QuickView; diagram of a representation of the exercise

4. Execution
The section will detail the actions you should, and should not, be doing while actually reading the material. It will usually cover the following:
1. Hand Reading Technique (forward, backward, diagonal, circular, etc.)
2. Eye Movement (fixations, jumps, soft-focus, field vision, etc.)

Recommended calculations after you complete your reading and reflection. These will usually, but not always, include:
1. Reading Speed (Pages per Minute, Words per Minute, Seconds per Page, etc.)
2. Comprehension Rate (% perception, understanding, meanings)
3. Recall Rate (% of list of facts e.g. 60% = recalled 6 out of 10 important facts)
