Keep a workout log, set personal records, add in progressions as you improve Recovery Not only will you kick off the recovery process with a post workout drink – I suggest Prograde Workout – within 30 minutes of your Strength Workout – you must also allow a day of rest in between each workout. THIS IS WHEN YOUR BODY CHANGES! Your body is NOT changing DURING the workouts – only AFTER. This is why it is essential that you refuel with the RIGHT type of nutrients, that you rest, recover and allow for the regeneration of your muscles. BONUS VIDEOS Finishers & Intervals Enhance your Fat Burn during and long after each circuit workout. This bonus video gives you additional formats and ideas to create a variety of body shaping finisher and interval training workouts. How To Master the Kettlebell Swing – Kettlebell Workshop The Swing is one of the most powerful moves when it comes to reshaping your lower body and abs. The most important step you can take is to ensure you understand how to properly perform this essential movement. If you do not yet have a Kettlebell, you may sub in a dumbbell. Fat Burning Meal Plans What and How you Eat has the most Dramatic Effect on your ability to sculpt and define your trouble spots when combined with this training system. This Video not only gives you a tour of my kitchen for ideas on what to have on hand, but takes you through a step by step tutorial on how simplify the meal planning process. Cool Downs – An Unannounced Bonus It is suggested that you stretch the muscle groups you challenged. Ease into each stretch - listening to your body. NO BOUNCING. Slow, controlled mindful execution -- holding each stretch for at least 3 deep breaths after which time, see if your body will go deeper into the stretch with a gentle nudge in whatever direction you are headed - but do NOT force. Schedule your Trouble Spot Workouts TIP: Create a Countdown Calendar! You have 12 weeks of trouble spot transforming workouts before you. Break your workout schedule down into a week by week countdown. This is very motivating and eye opening to see just how consistent you are…and you can be!

Either rotate every other day or every other week. One is not better than the other. Whether or not you stick to this schedule is what will determine the effectiveness of your workout schedule. Create a workout schedule that best fits your lifestyle so you will be consistent How you choose to incorporate 2-­‐3 IT workouts each week is up to what best fits your schedule. If you are unable to only get one IT workout in during the week, do not fret. Your results do not hinge on our IT workouts. Your Trouble Spot Transformation Results are created by being CONSISTENT with your circuits, staying challenged and sticking to a Fat Burning Nutrition plan. Rest Day is up to you. Make sure you have at least one FULL day of rest for your body to fully recover. Light activity is fine, it is just not advised to push through another intense activity or workout. Maximize your Workouts Challenge Strength training is the most effective way to reshape your body and the ONLY way to increase lean, tight toning muscle – this is vital for muscle is your metabolism and the key to fast fat burn! You will get the most out of your workouts by keeping the intensity high, with the short burst intensity style of your FYM workouts, your muscles to be challenged with 3 sets of 8 – 15 repetitions for each exercise. Be sure to choose a weight that allows you to feel challenged within this range of repetitions. If you can easily complete 20 or more – the weight is too light. If you can barely complete 5 and your form is less than good, weight is too heavy. Set Personal Records Each time and every time you workout your workout must be challenging to you. Whether it’s adding slightly more weight, an extra set, a few more repetitions, changing the order of the exercises or increasing the intensity of your Intervals, you need to keep the metabolism boosting benefits coming. Progression is the only way to continually achieve results. Your body has the amazing ability to adapt to a workout routine in as little as 3 to 4 weeks! So change it up and keep it challenging!
