WELL THIS TIME YOU CAN! WE ALL WANT THE VERY BEST
GLUTES, THE TIGHTEST WAIST AND THE LEANEST BODY,
SO I DECIDED TO CREATE SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR YOU
TO SHARE MY FAVORITE WORKOUTS FROM EACH OF MY 3
CHALLENGES: BBR BOOTY, BIKINI AND SHRED.

I chose to do this for a few reasons. Firstly, some of you want


to get a real taste for the challenge so you can decide which
best suits you to join for the next 6 weeks. Secondly (for those
who are like me and genuinely cannot choose between
the challenges), it gives you an opportunity to try the best
bits from all 3 Challenges! I have taken my favorite sessions
from each team and combined them in to 3 weeks of killer
workouts. You’ll get a week of glute growing heaven, a week
of waist cinching and a week of full body shredding. It
doesn't get much better than that!

STEP 1:
WHY BUILD A BOOTY & WHAT ARE WE FOCUSING ON!
Why might you try TEAM BOOTY? Booty is for those of you who are looking to grow and sculpt your
glutes, as well as leaning out your legs and reducing overall body fat. This week is for girls who love
to lift and who really want to get that peach popping.

day. This split is perfect for glute growth and
fat burning!
WHY GLUTE ACTIVATION?
The holy grail of glute activation would
definitely be the booty band! As many of you
know, booty bands are my absolute favourite
way to activate my glutes prior to a booty or
leg session and they are equally as fantastic
for keeping tension on your glutes during the
session itself.

Before a leg day, I always suggest that my BBR


girls “activate” or fire up their glutes, the reason
for this is that in order to grow your glutes,
they need to be “switched” on.

Most people cannot develop their glutes


effectively because they cannot activate or
“fire” their glutes correctly during their training
sessions. What this means is that instead
of your glutes doing the work in your lower
body sessions, the other parts of your legs
are compensating, leading to growth in the
hamstrings and quadriceps but not the glutes.

Glute activation techniques such as booty


band work or ankle weight sessions help us
to form a deeper mind to muscle connection
between our brains and our booty. This
connection allows for an increased “burn”
and blood flow to the site during our training,
which, results in more effective glute sessions
and increased muscle growth.

The burn you feel with these bands are no joke


and I can honestly say that since adding band
work to my sessions regularly, my glutes have
developed in an unprecedented way.
WHY THIS REP RANGE? REST PERIOD
Reps play an important role in the way in A moderate rest period of 90 seconds in
which we grow muscles. Time under tension between your sets or supersets on heavier lifts
is the key to glute growth and for this reason is suggested. This is because building muscle

how do you choose your weight?

When you choose your weight, I want you to


consider two things;

- Is this weight challenging for the reps and


exercise given?
-A  m I still performing good quality reps using
this weight?

The key is to choose a weight which is


challenging for you, but still allowing you to
perform your reps with good form.

I would aim to slightly increase your weight


each week. If you feel like you are getting
stronger and the weight is no longer
challenging you, then up your weight. You
have to be able to push and challenge yourself.
STEP 2:
WHY BIKINI BODY?
Bodies by Rachel prides itself on creating and delivering the very best programs when it comes to
helping women all over the world achieve their ultimate bikini bodies. The perfect waist to booty
ratio - every girl’s dream!

Nothing says feminine like a beautifully sculpted and curved hourglass shape. If we aren’t
genetically born with the hourglass shape, the good news is that there are things that we can do
to help us “create” those beautifully feminine curves that we all seek.

WHY THIS STYLE OF TRAINING?
Bikini Body incorporates HIIT, strength training as well as core training and
stability work.
- Strength training – this will help us to sculpt and shape our upper body
to create the taper we want, to offer the illusion of a tiny waist and to also
help to grow our glutes.
- Core training and stability work – this will keep our core tight and ensure
our poster is correct, which helps with the “waist” part of the equation.
- and of course, HIIT - to torch body fat and allow us to hold our beautiful
muscles.

WHY THIS REP RANGE?


The rep range for this portion of the program is normally 12-15 reps per set,
then there are timed sets as well. This is perfect for sculpting and toning
the body. Timed sets create longer periods of “time under tension”, which
help to break down muscle fibres and exhaust your working muscle,
leading to better growth.

WEIGHT SELECTION
The weight selection for this section of the program will be more of a
medium weight, as opposed to a really heavy selection. This is because you
need to be able to move this weight for longer periods of time. In addition
to this, I want you to focus on the squeeze and the depth of each rep. Time
under tension and proper contractions will help to sculpt your body.

REST PERIOD
In this section, you will have varying rest ranges. We utilise both medium
rest periods and shorter rest times. When you have your lift days, you will
rest for a moderate time of 90 seconds in between your sets or supersets
like you did with booty. This is because building muscle requires time
under tension and you tiring the muscle out. However, you also want to
rest long enough that you can repeatedly use a weight heavy enough to
stimulate growth. On sculpting days and HIIT work, you will have shorter
rest periods of 30-50 seconds. This is because tiring your muscles is key to
getting them bigger. By limiting rest periods between exercises, you’ll do
just that. As you do not require supreme strength on sculpting days, you do
not need your muscles to recover like you do on heavier lift days, so
let those muscles burn. Shorter rests also build muscle endurance and
overall fitness!
STEP 3:
WHY SHRED & WHAT ARE WE FOCUSING ON!

The SHRED section of this challenge is primarily based around HIIT functional training. These
workouts are not for the faint hearted; they may be short, but they are intense. This type of training
elevates your heart rate quickly and then keeps it up; burning more fat in less time.
This portion is saved for last as you’ve put in the work to sculpt and build muscle in the previous

REST PERIOD
There is no rest for the wicked when it
comes to burning body fat; although
these sessions are tough, your rest is
short, 30-60 seconds maximum after
your sets or rounds. Fatigue is the goal
here; we want to keep your heart rate
high throughout the entirety of the
session, so you are burning as many
calories as possible. The shorter rest
will also help increase your fitness and
endurance levels.

L E T ’ S TA L K R E CO V E R Y A N D R E S T DAY S

Resistance training breaks down body tissues and muscles, causing


microscopic tears. Rest days give your muscles, nerves, bones,
and connective tissues time to recover and rebuild. When you
implement excessive amounts of exercise without having a proper
rest day and if you don’t have adequate time for recovery, you may
experience decreased performance, fatigue, altered hormonal
states, poor sleeping patterns and a lowered immune system.

The rejuvenation process is so important. This requires adequate


amounts water (2.5- 3L if you are doing my guide), proper nutrition,
good quality sleep (8 hours), ample amounts of micronutrients
(vitamins and minerals) and recovery supplements. These things
allow your body to rebuild its tissues letting them grow back
stronger.

Your rest day and type of rest will depend on how advanced you
are and your intensity of training. If you’re just now starting out in
the fitness world, your rest day should probably be a real rest day
in which case you do not do any activity at all. A more experienced
person may choose an “active rest day”. This is where you won’t lift
any weight or do anything intense such as HIIT, but you may do an
activity like yoga or do some LISS cardio.

Throughout this program you will see I have made Sunday your rest
day. However, if something comes up and you need to rearrange
your rest day, you can do so.

What I always tell my clients is this training program is a guide. You


need it to fit YOUR lifestyle.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I STRETCH? MY ANSWER IS DAILY!


I know when it comes to training, a lot of us tend to neglect or
not bother stretching. I know because I am just as guilty as this as
you are. However, this year I’m stopping with the excuses and I am
making time to stretch DAILY!

Think about waking up in the morning. More than likely, one of


the first things you do without even thinking about is stretch.
Stretching is instinctive, meaning that your body already is leading
you to do it. While this type of morning stretching is a great way
to get up and going, focusing on more targeted stretching during
the day will have the greatest benefit on muscles and joints.

Stretching regularly will strengthen your muscles and increase


your flexibility. The more flexible you are, the better it is for your
joints. Keeping muscles and joints in top condition helps with
your day-to-day range of motion and can help guard against
injury. Major muscle groups really benefit from stretching. Focus
on shoulders and neck, calves and thighs, hips, and lower back.
Remember to stretch evenly on both sides. Lastly, remember to
breathe. Exhale while going into the stretch; hold the stretch as
you inhale.

Stretching should not be painful. A mild discomfort means you


are getting a good stretch. If you feel pain, you should ease up or
stop and consult a doctor. Just like anything there are times when
stretching could be a bad thing. For example, if you have an injury
it could be made worse by certain types of stretching. If you push
it too far, you could injure muscles, ligaments, or nerves just by
stretching. Be aware and listen to your body.
When to stretch?
P R E - W O R KO U T ( WA R M U P )
Before working out it is important to complete a dynamic warm up! Try to avoid any static
stretches whilst warming up as studies have shown it to decrease muscle strength and power.

If you are someone who works a desk job and spends most of their day sitting down or you
find yourself getting sleepy at work or losing concentration, it’s time to stretch. Stretching at
work can guard against repetitive-motion injuries that are caused by desk work and it can also
boost energy!
