A Letter From Dennis...
First and foremost, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking action and
investing in the Superhero Body: Bodyweight Edition. I cannot tell you how excited I am that
you will be going through these workouts and that I get to play a role in helping you achieve
great health.
For those of you who do not know me yet, my name is Dennis Heenan and I am a Master
Certified Turbulence Trainer, Certified Personal Trainer, and
Online Health and Nutrition Coach.
For the last 8-years, I've had the pleasure of working with
thousands of people helping them transform their bodies
through my workout programs.
All the hard work has already been done for you so that all you need to do is follow the
workouts below for the next 4-weeks.
If you can do that, I can promise you that you will see great success on this program. Like the
dozens of clients that tested this program for me, you will feel stronger, have more visible abs,
and have tighter, leaner muscles.
It's powerful stuff. This program has been tested over and over again until I firmly felt that it
was ready for YOU to use it and see great success.
As you go through the program, please feel free to reach out with any questions, updates,
and progress as I LOVE hearing from you. Just email dennis [at] fatburningnation [dot] com.
I am dedicated to making this program a success for you, so let me know how I can help.
2. If something hurts or feels off, don’t do that exercise. There are plenty of alternates that you
can add in. Please feel free to email dennis (at) fatburningnation (dot) com for ideas or see the
Exercise Library manual for alternative exercises.
3. Because this is a new program, be sure to start slow to avoid injury. Pushing too hard after not
working out for a while will only lead to injury or being overly sore.
4. If you find you need more rest in between exercises, take it. Over the course of the program,
you should work on shortening your rest periods.
5. This program is demanding so if going five days per week is too much, start by going 3 days a
week with your others days being “active rest” days (walking, hiking, etc.).
6. Always warm up properly. Be sure you are fully warmed up before starting your workouts.
7. Use a foam roll and stretch consistently. This will greatly help with eliminating soreness
throughout the program.
8. Get good rest. You must allow your body to recover from your workouts so be sure you are
getting good sleep.
9. Drink lots of water. This will keep you hydrated and allow you to lose fat more easily.
10. Have a cool down period at the end of each workout that includes stretching and foam rolling.
