INTRO INTRO • #TheFitnessKi's Slim Fit Gym-Edition is a 10-week comprehensive fitness program designed to build lean muscle while boosting your metabolism, and burning body-fat. In addition to your program, I have also provided a Nutrition Guide that explains what clean eating means, teaches you how to calculate your daily calories, & includes a grocery list to help you shop fresh! • You’ll be training 4-5 days/week; and each week the workouts will increase in intensity. With 10-weeks of consistent training expect a flatter midsection, tighter arms and legs and a plump, lifted booty! You can repeat this program as many times as you want, but make sure to increase your weights or the number of reps so your body never plateaus and you continue getting results! Also be sure to recalculate your calories/macros about every 4-6 weeks, (as the stronger you get, the more fuel your body will require)! • I have divided the workouts into 3 stages: Conditioning, Muscle Building, & Strength. The Conditioning phase will focus primarily on muscle and aerobic endurance. The second phase, as the name suggests, will focus more on building lean muscle that will increase our meteabolism. The last phase will be a continuation of phase 2; taking functional movements that we have already learned and perfected, and trying them in new ways while increasing the intensity. • I have also provided videos for all the exercises in this program so you’ll know exactly how to perform each movement. Simply click on the name of the movement and a video will pop up in a different window. Make sure your form is correct to prevent injury and to receive max benefits from the movements. I recommend going over the movements before your workouts, so you don’t waste time viewing videos during your workouts. EQUIPMENT • Resistance Band Mini Loops [You an purchase a pack of “Limm Bands” on Amazon or my website using my Promo Code: TFKI2018] • Access to a gym facility that has free weights [dumbbell], barbells [for squats and deadlifts], free standing & cable machines [leg press, lat pulldowns, pull-up machine, bike, jump rope, etc.] • APPS NEEDED: Calorie/Macro Tracking App: iMacro or MyFitnessPal; Timer App: Seconds ; Food Scanning App: Fooducate BODY TYPE & CALCULATING CALORIES There are 3 main body types: Ectomorphs, Mesomorph, & Endomorphs. Each body type responds differently to macronutrients, so we base our calculated macros [Carbs, Protein & Fat] on our personal body types. Below, choose the body type that BEST describes your physique. But first, let’s start with calories. 1 CALCULATE DAILY CALORIES Click & go to http://www.superskinnyme.com/calculate-tdee.html. Follow instructions to calculate BMR [how many calories your body burns naturally to perform daily functions], then follow instructions to calculate TDEE [how many calories your body will burn with physical activity included]. When calculating the TDEE, choose Activity Level 1.55 (moderately active) if plan to hit all 3 of the JustPeachy workouts in addition to 2 more days on your own. • In order to lose 1lb a week subtract 500 to your calculated TDEE. • In order to lose 2lbs a week subtract 1000 from your calculated TDEE. • To maintain your current weight, while making lean muscle gains & burning body-fat do not add or subtract anything. Write down this new calorie number, if applicable. These are the amount of calories you need daily. 2 CHOOSE BODY TYPE • Ectomorphs are naturally the with skinny limbs, a high tolerance for carbs, and a naturally fast metabolism making it difficult to gain weight (muscle or fat). Their macro ratio would be best at: 50% Carbs, 30% Protein, 20% Fats. • Mesomorphs are naturally muscular and athletic with wider shoulders and smaller waist. Gains muscles easily and can gain fat more easily than an ectomorph. Their recommended macro ratio is: 40% Carbs, 30% Protein, 30% Fats. • Endomorphs are naturally broad and thick with a larger frame. They gain fat easily, making it difficult to lose weight. Low carb tolerance. Recommended macro ratio: 25% Carbs, 35% Protein, 40% Fats. 3 CALCULATE MACROS Click & go to https://BioKeto.com/macro-calculator Click “Personalized Macronutrient Calculator” “Enter Daily Calories” (use the calorie number you calculated in Step 1). Go to “Adjust Ratios”. Set Carbs, Protein & Fats percentages using the above ratios for the body type that best fits you from Step 2. Right those numbers down & insert them into the ‘Settings’ of a Macro Tracker app [“iMacro” or “MyFitnessPal”. I personally love iMacro]. Use either app to keep track of Fat, Carb & Protein intake daily; these numbers make up your calories. When meal prepping, adjust serving sizes to fit your macros to make sure you’re not overeating which will slow down your results. MACRO CHEAT SHEET MACRONUTRIENTS [MACROS]: Carbohydrates, Protein & Fats. Your body needs ALL of these to perform properly and stay healthy. [Yes, even carbs!] CLEAN CARBS PROTEIN [*VEGGIE OPTION] • Whole Sprouted Grain Bread [Ezekiel bread, Ezekiel sprouted grain wraps, Dave’s Killer Bread] • Chicken breasts, chicken thighs [skinless], Ground chicken • Ground turkey / turkey patty • Kodiak Cakes brand protein pancakes & frozen waffles • Jasmine Rice / Brown Rice • Ground Bison / bison patty • Chicken breakfast sausage [Applegate brand] • Red Potato / Sweet Potato • Salmon • Whole-Grain Pasta • Cod • Quinoa • MSC-certified Canned tuna [look for pole-and-light caught’ or “ troll caught” on label] • Seitan or Tofu [*veggie] • Plain Oatmeal • Plain, lightly salted Rice cakes • Lightly salted popcorn • Carrots • Beyond Meat “beef” crumbles / “burger” patties [*veggie] • Celery • Gardenburger patties [*veggie] • Cucumbers • Egg white [*veggie] • Asparagus • Black Beans [*veggie] • Green Beans [fresh or frozen] • Red / Green Lentils [*veggie] • Kale • Spinach • Brussel sprouts • Red / Green / Orange Peppers • Whey protein powder [Nutrabio brand or Isopure brand recommended] • Vegan protein powder • Tomatoes / Onions CLEAN FATS FRUITS • Natural Nut Butters [Peanut / Almond / Cashew] • Strawberries • 100% Organic California Olive Oil / Coconut Oil / Grapeseed Oil / Hemp Oil • Blackberries • Tahini / Ghee • Grapefruit • Hemp hearts • Apples [best post/pre-workout] • Avocado • Bananas [best post/pre workout] • Olives • Kiwi • Edamame • Hummus • Hummus • Almonds / Pistachios • Plain Sunflower seeds / Pumpkin seeds • Chia seeds / Flaxseeds • Brussel sprouts • Raspberries CONDIMENTS/ SEASONINGS • All-natural Brown or Yellow mustard • Red / Green / Orange Peppers • Tabasco or Sriracha hot sauce • Tomatoes • 100% Raw Honey • Onions • Balsamic Vinaigrette [No Ranch, Caeser, Bleu Cheese, Honey Mustard] • Oll & Vinegar FLUID INTAKE • 1 GALLON/ DAY • Green Tea • Fresh Ginger Tea • Himalayan Pink Salt / Celtic Sea Salt • Organic Cracked Pepper / Cayenne Pepper • Turmeric / Oregano / Thyme • Organic Garlic Powder / Onion Powder [NO seasoning packets or processed seasoning mixes; no Tony’s, no Adobo, no Season-All, no Ms. Dash] SUPPLEMENTS • If you’re vegetarian/vegan or if you don’t think you get in enough protein from meat, I recommend investing in a good Protein powder. I recommend vegan protein powders, whether you’re vegan or not, because it Sprouts, Whole Foods and Fresh Market also sell natural protein powders as well. Make sure your protein powders don’t have many ingredients; usually the more ingredients, the moreprocessed and less natural it is. • EAAs [Eyesential Amino Acids]: **Optional; recommended for vegans and vegetarians who can’t get most of their protein from meat • Creatine: Natural supplement used to build muscle, increase strength and increase overall athletic performance. It boosts the formation of protein that creates new muscle fibers, thus speeding up muscle growth, which will in turn increase your metabolism. I HIGHLY recommend this supplement, especially if you’re vegan/vegetarian. It is available in power and pill form. Make sure the only ingredient is creatine. • I recommend downloading an app called “Fooducate”. It basically gives every food item a “grade” from A+ to F. I use it whenever I go grocery shopping, if I’m unsure if something is clean or not. You just scan the barcode and it’ll tell you if it’s healthy or not. Don’t get anything below a Grade B+. • I also recommend downloading an app called iMacro or MyFitnessPal to help you track your calories & macros to make sure you’re eating enough food. TRAINING TIPS • PUSH YOURSELF! The goal here is to gain lean muscle in order to increase metabolism. If a weight feels too light [if you’re not struggling on the last 3 reps it’s too light] go heavier by 5-10lbs pounds]. • TRACK YOUR WEIGHTS! Keep a small book, or use your phone to keep track of what weights you use for all movements, so the following g week you can try to increase weights. At least, make it a goal to increase in weight every week. • PAY ATTENTION TO REST TIMES! I have given rest time for every movement! Keep a timer with you to make sure you’re not going over in Rest! • I recommend wearing FLAT-footed shoes while doing leg exercises. [Barefoot is better]. Running shoes are okay, but flat shoes, like Vans or Converses will help your form drastically! Make sure your feet stayed planted on the ground, and you’re pushing through your HEELS, not toes! Your heels should NEVER leave the ground while performing squats, lunges, deadlifts, etc. If you can’t wiggle your toes while you’re deep into your squat, shift your weight to your heels! Remember: FORM IS EVERYTHING. We only count GOOD reps with GOOD form. TIP: Record form & post to Facebook group so I can critique form. • Keep your core tight! [Imagine someone bout to punch you in the stomach, & you tighten your core to soften the blow. This is what I mean]. Keeping a tight, rigid core will prevent back pains/injuries, stabilize your spine and torso, and will give your abs a workout as well! • STRETCH & NEVER SKIP WARM-UPS! After EVERY workout, for at least 5 minutes.Your muscles will be sore. Stretch them out! [Arms too!] I HIGHLY recommend using a Foam Roller. Slowly roll your legs, back, butt, pausing where it hurts the most, then continuing to roll. Imagine you have little knots in your muscles that you’re trying to roll out. This will hurt a little, but will feel great afterwards and the next day!

The number of sets & reps are listed for each movement. Knock out as many reps as you can, until muscle failure or when form begins to break. We only count reps with good form! • WEIGHT. Always begin with a comfortable, but challenging weight. Stay at same weight for all set of a movement, and try to increase weight the next time that movement is scheduled during a workout. • *REP RANGE. Each exercise has a "rep range." When you are able to reach the maximum rep amount for each of the 3 sets, add weight the next time you perform that exercise. • REST TIME. Each set contains a certain amount of rest. It is imperative that you abide by this time limit to ensure the best results. • Some workouts will include “SUPERSETS” indicated by “1a” and “1b”, etc. Movements in a Superset are to be completed back to back with little to no rest, until all movements in the set have been completed. For example: 1a. Squats: 3x12 1b. Push-ups: 3x10, means perform 12 Squats, then immediately follow squats with 10 Push-ups = 1 set. Complete a total of 3 sets. • DB= Dumbbell BW= Bodyweight SA= Single-arm SL= Single-leg • For single-leg or single-arm movements be sure to begin with the opposite leg/arm each set. • Be sure not to skip the warm-ups. If your muscles begin to feel really tight during a workout, stop, stretch them out then continue. • Make sure your form is correct. If you feel like your form is wrong, record yourself from 2 angles and email/DM me for possible correction!

Record yourself, and compare form to picture. ROMANIAN DEADLIFT 1.Hold dumbbells by hips. Your shoulders should be back, your back arched, and your knees slightly bent. This will be your starting position. 2.Lower the dumbbells by moving your butt back as far as you can. Keep the dumbbells close to your body, your head looking forward, and your shoulders back. Bend until dumbbells are just below the knee. 3.At the bottom of your range of motion, return the starting position by driving the hips forward to stand up tall. PUSH-UP 1.Lie on the floor face down and place your hands shoulders width apart while holding your torso up at arms length, heads right under chest. 2.Next, lower yourself downward until your chest almost touches the floor as you inhale. 3.Now breathe out and press your upper body back up to the starting position while squeezing your chest. 4.After a brief pause at the top contracted position, you can begin to lower yourself downward again. HIP THRUST 1.Begin seated on the ground with a bench/couch directly behind you. Have a dumbbell ready on your leg. 2. Place the dumbbell so that it is directly above your hips, and lean back against the couch so that your shoulder blades are near the top of it. 3.Begin the movement by driving through your feet, extending your hips vertically. Your weight should be supported by your shoulder blades and your feet. Extend as far as possible, then reverse the motion to return to the starting position. BENT-OVER ROW 1.Holding dumbbells palms facing down, bend your knees slightly and bring your torso forward, by bending at the waist, while keeping the back straight until it is almost parallel to the floor. Tip: Make sure that you keep the head up. The dumbbells should hang directly in front of you as your arms hang perpendicular to the floor and your torso. This is your starting position. SIDE LUNGE 1.Assume an athletic standing position, with the knees and hips slightly bent, feet shoulder-width apart, and the head and chest up. This will be your starting position. 2.Staying low, take a slow, lateral step to the right. Keep your toes pointed forward and stay low. Extend the left knee, driving your weight to the right, flexing the knee and hip into a side lunge. Maintain good posture through the entire spine, keeping your head and chest up. 3.Pause at the bottom of the motion, and then extend through the working leg to return to a standing position, transitioning into a lunge to the opposite side. 2.Now, while keeping the torso stationary, breathe out and lift the barbell to you. Keep the elbows close to the body and only use the forearms to hold the weight. At the top contracted position, squeeze the back muscles and hold for a brief pause. 3.Then inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position. **Make sure you NEVER slouch as this will cause lower back soreness.
