P R E LET’S START YOUR VI EW TRANSFORMATION Thank you for buying Fit Media’s 12 Week Total Transformation eBook. We’re so excited that you decided to start your transformation with us. This eBook is not just a diet plan and list of exercises – it’s much, much more. We’ve designed this plan to help you start getting results fast, but most importantly, to ensure that you have the tools and knowledge to help you lead a healthier lifestyle way beyond the initial 12 weeks of the eBook. Let’s begin with a little background information, an overview of what’s coming up in this eBook and start with thinking about what you want to achieve. About Fit Media Ten years ago, we started showcasing workouts and training tips from some of the world’s best personal trainers and physique models on YouTube. Now, Fit Media Channel has over one million subscribers and hundreds of millions of views. Every day our videos inform and inspire people around the world to get into their best ever shape. We’ve taken that decade of training experience and coupled it with world-class nutrition guidance to bring you this 12-Week Total Transformation eBook. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up in this eBook. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N Four key areas PREVI EW As we mentioned earlier, this eBook is far more than a diet plan and a set of exercises. We want you to feel fully prepared to lead a long-term healthier lifestyle. We’re going to set up a range of principles you can adopt and guidelines you can follow to make sustainable change to your lifestyle and your body. This eBook splits your transformation in to four broad components: 1 Mindset 2 Lifestyle To achieve the best results, you need to enjoy the process of your transformation. We’re not saying that it’s going to be easy, but there are things you can do and decisions you can take that will make success far more achievable. We’re going to look at your motivation for starting this transformation, your relationship with food and how you can recover quickly from any setbacks along the way. We’ll help you identify things that haven’t worked in the past and, most importantly, set a realistic objective of where you see yourself in three months’ time. How you spend your day, what you do in your free time and how you look after yourself are going to make a big difference to your transformation. We all have things that form the basis of our schedule – work, childcare, for example. But making small tweaks to your schedule, introducing some moments for yourself and being conscious of your daily activity will be key to your success. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N 3 Nutrition 4 Exercise With busy lives and a hectic schedule, we understand that it’s not always possible to stick to a rigid diet. That’s why, in this eBook, we focus on giving you guidelines to apply and not a strict diet plan. We’ll look at the basics, such as drinking enough water and planning a healthy day of eating, as well as give you essential information about protein, carbs and fats. We’ve included some very practical information too, such as meal ideas, suggestions for replacement foods and example daily meal plans to give you an excellent starting point. Over the initial 12 weeks, we’ve included some nutrition challenges too, to really help you start seeing results fast. The final section looks at exercise. There are two options available to you, depending on whether you go to the gym or not. Whichever you choose, we’ll give you a fully planed routine, increasing with intensity over the initial 12 weeks. It’s all about balance PREVI We can’t stress enough how important each of these four components are. EW Without the right mindset, you won’t be able make the necessary improvements to your nutrition. And your training won’t be as effective as it could be if the rest of your lifestyle doesn’t match up. Getting a fine balance between these four components is going to be essential in order to get the best possible results. And that’s what this eBook is going to help you to achieve. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N What can you expect to achieve? PREVI EW Everybody who begins their transformation with this eBook will be starting from a different point in their journey and will have a different end goal in mind too. In the first section, Mindset, we’ll look at the type of realistic goals you should set yourself. But in addition to your own personal transformation objectives, we feel there are some significant things that you’ll achieve along the way, perhaps without really noticing. We hope that these will stick with you for years to come, including: > New ways of thinking about any challenges ahead > Small changes to your lifestyle to make things more efficient > A healthier approach to food, way beyond this 12-week plan > And of course, working towards your own personal transformation objectives too We hope you’re ready to start your 12 Week Total Transformation. Let’s get things started by looking at the mindset you’ll need to adopt to achieve the best results. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N MINDSET PREVI EW When you think of what traits successful people have, you might think of things like education or willingness to take risks. When you see someone with an aesthetic physique, you might think of their genetics or number of years training. All these things would be contributing factors, for sure. However, the overwhelming predictor of success is something that we all have control over – mindset. No matter if you’ve been frustrated with a lack of results from things you’ve already tried or really are at a loss of where to even start – one of the most significant things you can do is start to believe that you can improve, that you can overcome setbacks and ultimately, that you can achieve what you set out to. In this first section, we’re going to look at how the right mindset can help you achieve your transformation goals. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N Free Preview - MINDSET In the full eBook, pages 9 - 19 cover things that you can do to help build a strong mindset. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N LIFESTYLE PREVI EW Your lifestyle can have a big impact in your overall ability to achieve your goals. But what exactly do we mean by lifestyle? We tend to think of it as what you do in your free time, or to relax. Many people would acknowledge that they spend a bit too much time watching TV or scrolling through their social media feeds. In this section, we take a look at some alternative options for things you could do the next time you find yourself flicking through Netflix not being able to decide what to watch. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N LIFESTYLE PREVI EW Be more active Being a more active person does not mean you must become a performance athlete, spending hours in the gym or on the treadmill. Of course, being more active will depend on your current level of activity. But with many people having jobs with little or zero physical activity, we think it’s good to have ways to add in some movement to your day. Try something like: > Stretching or yoga when you wake and before you sleep – more on stretching below. > 15 minutes walking before breakfast and repeat in the evening after your last meal – it’s just 30 minutes a day but can be enough to help you get started being more active. > Walk outside while you catch up with your friend on the phone, rather than staying sat on the sofa. Overall, the aim of being more active is to lead to more sports and more movement. With small activities introduced to your daily routine, this will slowly become a more natural choice and something that you want to do. Coming up in the Exercise section of this eBook, we have a guided plan to help you achieve your transformation. That’s great to get you in to a good scheduled routine. But consider your day-to-day activity levels too, and remember that everything has to be done gradually to achieve the best results. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N Free Preview - LIFESTYLE In the full eBook, pages 21 - 26 cover things you can consider to incorporate in to your new, healthier lifestyle. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N PREVI NUTRITION EW We can’t stress this enough – your nutrition is really, really important. In this section we’re going to look at what you need to eat, how much you need to eat and how to implement an effective meal structure that will help you achieve maximum results. As mentioned in the introduction, we’re going to be giving you some background information, followed by some very practical guidelines that you can follow. We’re not giving you a strict pre-planned meal structure. The reason for this is because everyone has different daily schedules, dietary requirements and objectives. Whatever your day-to-day schedule looks like, we’re very confident that if you apply our guidelines, you’ll quickly be able to see a highly effective nutrition plan come together that works perfectly for you. To get started, let’s take a second to categorise our food so that it’s easy to plan meals in the future. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N Free Preview - NUTRITION In the full eBook, pages 27 - 38 provide an in-depth look at some fundamentals of nutrition, with sections to help you fully understand calories, macros and protein. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N NUTRITION PREVI EW Eating plan Fresh with the knowledge of how much you need to eat and how to track it, let’s take a look at what you can do to structure your food over the coming weeks for maximum results. It goes without saying that every day, and almost every meal, should be high in protein and low in fat. Which leaves us with the option to manipulate the amount of carbs we consume. We need to achieve two things with our cab intake: 1. Consume enough carbs to give us the energy for our intensive workouts 2. Consume fewer carbs to reduce our calories and help with weight loss As you can see, these two things have the potential to contradict each other! So we need to be smart about how and when we consume carbs. To achieve an optimal balance, we will divide our days into several types according to the amount of carbs we consume that day. We’ll be having low carb days, medium carb days and high carb days. For each day, we’ve suggested three meals and a snack. This is because it fits with most people’s idea of breakfast, lunch, and an evening meal. Just make sure your calories are roughly the same in each meal. Some people prefer to eat more often, perhaps up to five meals per day. If that’s you – that’s totally fine. Use the same principles outlined below but split up your meals into smaller portions, distribute them evenly throughout the day and try to ensure each one is roughly the same number of calories. We want you to find something that works for you, so with the same principles, a more regular eating pattern is easy to adapt if it suits you better. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N Free Preview - NUTRITION - Eating Plan In the full eBook, pages 39 - 47 guide you through how to put together an eating plan for maximum results and suggestions for what a full day of meals may look like for each of the carb levels. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N EXERCISE PREVI EW We’ve deliberately put the exercise section last in this eBook because we wanted to stress how important your mindset, lifestyle and nutrition are first. If you’ve jumped straight to this section before reading through everything else and making the first steps there, please re-think your strategy and go back to read the earlier sections. You should see exercise as the final piece of the jigsaw. If you’re doing everything else we’ve talked about so far in the first three sections, you’re already on your way to an impressive transformation. Now, adding in a solid exercise routine is going to complete the picture. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N EXERCISE PREVI EW Benefits of weight training Whatever your transformation goals, training with weights will help you achieve your goals. And that includes training using your own bodyweight as resistance. From a simple push up at home, to squats and deadlifts with weights in the gym, any form of resistance training will strengthen your muscles and increase their efficiency And if you work the muscle close to failure, it will build back stronger next time (provided you give it the protein it needs to rebuild). In terms of your transformation, think about these key benefits from training with weights or resistance: > Calories are burned within the muscle. So the more muscle you have, the more calories you can burn. Even if your primary goal is fat loss, you can do it quicker by working your muscles and making them more efficient. > You can use weights to build specific body parts if you have specific goals like broad shoulders or bigger chest. But if your goal is simply to have a firmer body, you should still use weights to make your muscles more toned > Weights are also key to making your body more functional. Almost any exercise you do will work your core because it stabilises your whole body as you move the wight. Plus, you can do specific exercises targeting your core to help your overall posture and athletic efficiency. > Training with weights also boosts your circulation, heart, and lung capacity. There are other ways of achieving this, such as with cardio sessions, like on the treadmill and jogging, which we’ll cover later in this plan. But using weights, especially getting close to failure, will boost blood flow and leave you out of breath, making your whole system more efficient. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N EXERCISE PREVI EW At home or in the gym? We appreciate that everybody’s confidence level in the gym or schedule to train is different. That’s why we’ve provided two exercise plans, depending on if you’re training at home or in the gym. What’s more, they’re totally interchangeable. So, if you’re unable to get to get to the gym for a few days, there’s no need to panic. Just switch to the at-home schedule and you won’t miss a thing. One common question people ask is if the results from the home workouts will be the same as the gym workouts. The answer to that question is both yes and no. Yes, the results will be the same because what you’re trying to achieve is a Total Transformation and both the home and gym routines, when combined with your improved mindset, lifestyle and nutrition, will absolutely deliver that. And no, because the results will be slightly different due to the extra resistance provided by the weights in the gym. At home, you’re going to strengthen and tone your muscles. At the gym, you’re going to strengthen, tone and build muscle too. Don’t get us wrong – this isn’t a muscle building plan – you need to check out Fit Media’s other eBooks if that’s your goal – but resistance training in the gym will put your muscles under increased workload. Your decision on which training route to take should be based on two factors: > Where you feel most comfortable training > How much time you have to train 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N EXERCISE PREVI EW If you feel a little uneasy about training in the gym, you’re likely to miss sessions. Whereas if you’re environment at home isn’t suitable for exercising, you’re likely to get distracted. And if time is a factor, the routines all take around one hour to complete, but training at home eliminates the journey to the gym. Keep these factors in mind, but our suggestion is to go with your gut feeling on what feels most likely to fit in with your transformation. And remember that both plans are totally interchangeable. You can even do the home workouts in the gym too – just find a space to put a mat and you’re set! 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N Free Preview - EXERCISE In the full eBook, pages 48 - 76 cover everything you need to get results either at home or at the gym. There’s a full sets and reps guide for all of the gym workouts, structures for your home workouts and a cardio schedule that can be tailored to suit your needs. 1 2 W E E K T O TA L T R A N S F O R M AT I O N CONGRATULATIONS!
