PROGRAM DETAILS
During this 10-week training program, we’ll be hitting every muscle to burn
optimal body-fat & make you stronger. This 10 weeks will be broken down
into 3 stages, increasing in intensity as the program continues.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
• Dumbbells - Preferably 2 pair: one light pair & one heavy pair, for upper &
lower body days, respectively. One pair will still be okay. Feel free to get
creative & utilize water bottles, canned goods, book-bags, etc. in place of
dumbbells.
APPS NEEDED
• SMARTWOD - Timer app for HIIT workouts. You’ll only need to use the
“Tabata” timer in the app. You’ll be able to personalize the work time and rest
times. (Specific work/rest times are stated in the program)
Losing weight isn’t the same as losing body-fat. You could also lose more
body-fat than weight. Meaning you can lose only 5lbs, but lose 10lbs of fat.
Remember muscle weighs more than fat. So don’t fret if you’re not seeing
changes on the scale. You could still be making awesome progress. This is why
we take before and after pictures to assess progress. I would also recommend
investing in a “SmartScale” (click & it’ll pop up on Amazon). This scale
measures not only your overall weight, but body fat percentage, water weight
and muscle weight. You want to pay attention to body fat% & focus on
decreasing that number, and increasing your muscle weight.
BODY TYPES & CALCULATING
CALORIES/MACROS
There are 3 main body types: Ectomorphs, Mesomorphs, &
Endomorphs.
Each body type responds differently to macros. Identify your body type,
and use the recommended Macro breakdown for your body type to
calculate your daily carbs, protein & fats. Ex: 50% Carbs means 50% of your
daily calories will come from carbs.
ECTOMORPH
• Naturally, genetically thin with skinny limbs
• Have a high tolerance for carbs
• Have a naturally fast metabolism making it difficult to gain weight (muscle or fat).
MESOMORPH
• Naturally muscular & athletic with wider shoulders; sometimes described as
being “solid”
• Not usually overweight or underweight
• Gain muscle & fat fairly easily
ENDOMORPH
• Are naturally broad & thick with a larger frame
• Gains fat easily, making it difficult to lose weight
• Less tolerance for carbs
PROTEIN
This is arguably the most important macronutrient when it comes to not only strength
and muscular performance, but also in reshaping your body composition. Protein
contains amino acids that are the building blocks for tissue repair and growth. After you
workout, muscle breakdown increases, and the consumption of protein aids in protein
synthesis (creation of protein to repair muscle). In other words, protein is a must to build
muscle and transform your body, whether your goal is weight loss or weight gain.
CARBS
First and foremost, CARBS ARE YOUR FRIEND. Do not let anyone tell you differently. Carbs
are used as the body’s main source of energy. Additionally, on top of fueling your workouts,
carbohydrates aid in recovery by replenishing glycogen stores. Bottom line, carbs fuel your
workouts and without them you will not be getting the most out of your training.
*Also, fiber is another component of carbohydrates that is not only important for bowel and
digestive health, but plays a role in keeping the rest of your insides healthy. When
calculating your daily macro totals (we’ll get into that later) you will want 10% of your carbs
to be from fiber, roughly 25g/day for women & 38g for men.)
FATS
Dietary fats are essential for cell growth and function as well as being a secondary
source of energy for the body to use. However, just like anything else you consume, you
only want high quality sources of fat in your diet.
Say NO to Saturated Fats & Trans Fats - Avoid these / consume sparingly.
CALCULATE CALORIES & MACROS
Click HERE for a quick & easy way to calculate your calories.
Fill out the form, click “Calculate” to be shown your calorie options. You will be shown
numbers for Weight Maintenance, Mild Weight Loss, Weight Loss & Fast Weight Loss.
Select whichever number that best fits your goal. However, I do NOT recommend the “Fast
Weight Loss” option as the calories are too low for this high-intensity training program. You’ll
need more fuel to smash these workouts & get the best results.
MY DAILY CALORIES
_______
Click HERE to calculate your Macros, which will make up your daily calorie number. Scroll
down & click “Personalized Macronutrient Calculator”, then “Enter Daily Calories” (use
the calorie number you calculated above & insert here). Go down to “Adjust Ratios” &
adjust the slider to set your Carbs, Protein & Fat percentages using the above ratios for
the body type that best fits you. You can type in your macros below, then insert them into the
settings of whichever tracking app you’d like to use.

PREWORKOUT
Maximizes energy, focus and endurance.
Take before workout. Follow label
instructions for exact time frame.
• Track your weights. By taking a mental or physical note of the weights you use, you
can ensure you’re actually getting stronger & can track your progress. It’ll also help you
know where to begin each week. Look at the previous week’s weights for a movement, &
start there.
• Watch videos for every movement to view correct form. Simply CLICK the name of a
movement & a video will pop up. Study my or Kiara’s form & mimic.
• Pay attention to rest times. Stay within the allotted rest times. Do NOT rest TOO long
or too little! The shorter the rest time, the higher the intensity.
• COMPLETE THE WARM UP. You’ve been given a warmup to complete before
beginning your workouts. Be sure to fully warm-up before starting your workout. Also, be
sure to stretch after EVERY workout and foam roll.
• I recommend wearing flat-soled shoes for lower body workouts, such as Van’s or
Converses, not running shoes as they will throw off your balance & stability. Barefoot is
great too for squats, and deadlifts.
• TAKE BEFORE PICTURES before you start the program! (Front, Back, & Side views)
TRAINING CALENDAR
Your 10-week program will consist of a 4-day strength training split. Try your best to hit EVERY workout for
BEST results! You don’t have to follow the calendar exactly, but make sure you’re doing the workouts in
order. You will be completing the same movements for 4 weeks at a time. This allows you to perfect each
movement, and gives you time to actually get stronger. Progressive overload is key. **Each week focus on
increasing the intensity of your workouts by increasing your weights, decreasing the rest time, or knocking
out extra sets.
