About Me

I began seriously living a healthy lifestyle about 4 years


ago. I began exercising and eating better and noticed
not only changes in my body but also in my thinking,
attitude, and happiness.

Since then, I have been encouraging friends and family


members to take better care of themselves, and now I
have the opportunity to help inspire you to live a
healthier lifestyle. I promise you won't regret it!

How to follow my guide:

• 4 workouts per week.


• You can do them in any order you wish.
• Each workout contains all the exercise sets and
reps that you need to do; make sure you complete
each workout even though it may be challenging. If
you don’t cheat, you’ll definitely see the results of
your hard work.
• Remember: Being healthy is really your body’s
reflection of your mind’s commitment to living a
healthy lifestyle.


Note: Before doing any of the workouts, please be sure to warm up to avoid any
injuries. To warm up, you can stretch, run, do jumping jacks, squats, or anything else
to get your heart rate up and muscles working.

How To Use My Guide

Here is example, what I would recommend how to use my guide. Each workout is designed to be
done for one week, so you should do Workout 1 during week 1, Workout 2 during week 2, etc.

You will find the workouts on the next 4 pages. The explanations of how to properly perform each
exercise is contained in the rest of the guide.

Keep in mind, if you want to trim down, you decrease weights and increase reps to build up, you
increase weights and decrease reps. You can decide which body part you want to build up and which
to trim down by applying this concept.

Additionally, please pay attention to your body's messages to you. While it is good to push yourself to
a certain degree, you should not feel any pain during any of these exercises. You are likely to be sore
a day or two after performing them, and that's typically a sign that you pushed yourself. Should you
have any concern about how you feel during any of these exercises, stop and talk to your physician
about it.

Finally, the most common excuses I hear from people as to why they don't exercise are "I'm too busy"
or "I'm just too exhausted at the end of the day." What I would suggest is that you fix in your mind that
you don't have to "feel like exercising" to go do it. You just go do it. "Feeling like doing it" is irrelevant.
I don't ever "feel like" sitting in the gym for an hour, lifting weights up and down. I want the results. I
want to feel strong and healthy. I want to avoid injuries doing everyday things like carrying in groceries
from the car. I want to feel good when I put on form-fitting clothes. Don't worry about feeling like doing
it. Just make it a new part of your life and never stop. This isn't a diet or a "quick fix." This is a new,
healthier lifestyle. Your body, mind, and spirit will all thank you for it and you'll increase your quality of
life by making exercise part of it.

I'm excited for the potential life change you're about to experience. Good luck, and let me
know how you're doing!
