ello, and thank you for taking interest in my workout program! I hope this has
motivated you a little bit more to start a new and effective routine. I introduce to
you my 6-week exercise program to a stronger and tighter you! I have been
developing this program for quite some time now, and using them on some of my clients I
have trained in the past and present. The results have been all too positive as my clients
have grown stronger and had noticeable results. I have also been following there plans
myself and am very satisfied with how my progress is going!
My program consists of a mix between high intensity interval training (HIIT) and weight
training/resistance training, which are both proven methods of quickly and effectively
burning fat while also building muscle! Think of it this way, instead of just using pure
cardio to lose weight and look "skinny", you're mixing up muscle building, high intensity
moves in quick progression with minimal bouts of rest to improve your athleticism and
build a strong body in a quicker amount of time. Not to mention the numerous health and
cardiovascular benefits that amounts from a solid exercise program with weight lifting and
cardio!
Here're a few things before you start:
Make sure you drink LOTS of water throughout these six weeks.
Try to stay as consistent as you can! All these workouts are 50 min or less, everyone
has some time!
Take pictures throughout your process and document frequently. Be proud of your
progress!
If you don't know a move or stretch, a simple Google image search will help! Or, you
could just ask me, I'm here for you!
Take it easy at first. Don't be ashamed to start light, but try your hardest every time.
Everybody starts somewhere!
Don't overlook the warm-up and cool down. Stretching is so important!
Don't give up! You probably won't notice much besides being sore the first week. It's
okay, this is why programs typically are sold in 4-12 weeks packages. You will notice
at the end if you keep up with it!

What You Need
1. 3 sets of dumbbells/weight system (can be water bottles, kettlebells, milk jugs, 3
types of light-heavy objects)
2. Water bottle for hydration

5. Documentation/Pictures (to track progress and results)
How to Use My Guides
These are general tips to remember when performing
moves.
Tempo is how fast to perform move. Count by saying "one tempo, two
tempo, three tempo...)
This is the name of the move you will perform. Google image search if you're not sure what move it is.
Weight refers to how many pounds you marked as your light, med, and heavy weights. you may see it say "x/y" this means for your first set use "x" weight, then use "y" weight for second set.
You may see reps listed as "x/y". This means for your first set do "x" amount of reps. Then for your second set do "y" amount of reps. if it says "x-y", This means do "x" to "y"
amount of reps.
You will perform exercises vertically. One set of each move at a time.

Here are some terms to know:
Soft knees - This means keeping your knees slightly bent and not locking them
straight in.
Tempo - Think of it as the "beat" to how fast or slow you are performing your move.
o x//y//z
"x" is the amount of tempos to hold as you are performing the down or
concentric movement on an exercise. (ex. Going down into a squat)
"y" is the amount of tempos to hold as you are in the down or set, or
isometric position of a move. (ex. Setting up in the squat, being in the sitting
position of a squat)
"z" is the amount of tempos to hold as you are going up on an exercise or the
eccentric move. (ex. Pushing up to beginning position of squat)
Reps - how many times to perform an exercise move.
Sets - how many times to perform reps of an exercise move.
Talking pace - jogging/running at a pace where carrying a conversation is easy to
do. Not breathing too fast, but not too slow.
Static stretches - stretches that involve holding the position for a set amount of
time. (ex. Quad stretch, toe grab, butterfly)
Determining your weights: go to a gym or somewhere with a variety of weights
and perform 5 reps of different weights (ex. 5,10,15lbs) until you reach a weight
where you feel like you can barely complete 3 reps. This is your max weight and your
goal to beat. Record as follows:
Light weight (last weight you can easily perform 15 reps of):
Medium weight (last weight you can easily perform 10 reps of):
Heavy weight (second to last weight you can easily perform 5 reps of):
Max weight: ___
4
Do each stretch for 2-3 sets, 3 if you feel really sore.
Google image of any move if you still feel confused.
1. Windmills: Stretch arms out straight and wide at 90° from your hips. Rotate
clockwise in semi-wide circles for 10-15 seconds. Stop arms for about 3 seconds,
then rotate counter-clockwise for 10-15 seconds.
2. Hand to Wall stretch: Stretch out one arm to 90° and grab the edge of a wall or
door opening. Keep legs together and rotate until you feel stretch along shoulders
and neck. Hold for 10 seconds, and then switch hands, rotate, hold for 10 seconds.
3. Bicep/Tricep extension: Hold hands together crossing fingers. Rotate hand
outward and stretch towards the floor keeping shoulders rounded. Hold for 10
seconds then relax hands and shoulders. Repeat bringing hands behind your body
for second set. Lastly, repeat bringing hands up and in front of your body with
palms turned towards the sky.
4. Inchworms: Start standing in a straight up position. Lower down to touch your
toes keeping back straight, until your hands reach the floor so that you are in a
downward dog position. Crawl out keeping feet intact until you reach a push-up
position. Hold position for 2 seconds then crawl back upwards pushing yourself
with your hands to a straight back up position.
5. Overhead Tricep and
Shoulder Stretch:
Raise one arm straight
up, grab elbow with
opposite arm letting
forearm hang down and
stretch towards opposite
side to the ground until
you can feel stretch in
shoulder blades and
triceps. Hold for 10
seconds and switch
arms.
5
Do each stretch for two sets.
You may hold for additional seconds if you're feeling really sore.
Make sure not to hold long enough to strain.
1. Hip Flexor Stretch: Start on knees, extending one leg forward so that you are in a
lunge position. Lean forward until you can feel stretch inside your quads and
hamstring. Hold for 10-15 seconds then switch legs. Make sure your toe is pointed
downward to alleviate pressure from back knee keeping both legs at 90°.
2. Butterfly Stretch: Bring feet together so that your knees are outward and feet
pushing against each other. Hold knees down towards floor until you can feel stretch
inside hamstrings and groin. Hold for 10-15 seconds.
3. Toe Touch: Stand straight up, then reach down to touch your toes keeping your
back straight as far down as you can go without straining. Inhale a deep breath, and
then at the exhale, reach down a tiny bit further. Hold stretch for 10 seconds.
4. Knee Crossover Stretch: Cross one leg over the other keeping feet touching.
Reach down towards toes keeping back straight. Hold for 10 seconds then switch leg
over and repeat.
5. Knee to Chest: Lay on back flat on floor. Keeping opposite leg straight, bring knee
to chest. You can bend knee of opposite leg if lower back feels any pain. Hold for 15
seconds then switch leg.
6. Spinal Twists: Lay on back flat on floor holding arms straight out at 90°. Bending
one knee, slowly rotate it towards opposite side until knees touches floor or gets as
close to it as you can. Look up towards ceiling and hold position for 15-30 seconds.

then switch legs.
