3 Week Fast SHRED Fitness Plan

This plan is the perfect mix of strength and high intensity training that will deliver massive results in 3 weeks. This plan is not for the faint of heart and I would not recommend it for beginners, it however can be easily modified for beginners. I really like this regimen because it is an upper and lower body split that uses very effective movements that get you in and out of the gym.

In order for these circuits to work you must use a weight that will be heavy enough to challenge your muscles but not to heavy where you are unable to complete the 20 reps. The reason why a 20 rep range works for this plan for muscle building versus the 8-10 reps is the fact that we are doing one exercise per muscle group in a circuit style with the added benefit of an increased heart rate which will also be burning fat simultaneously.

Here’s the plan:

Monday/Wednesday: Upper Body and Cardio 

Warm Up: 20 Minute Interval Training
Walk or run on treadmill; 1 minute fast, then 1 minute slow for 20 minutes. You can use any machine if running is to difficult. 

WeightLifting: 2x through, 20 reps each
1. Chest: Flat bench press or Flat dumbbell press or Push-ups
2. Back: 1 arm dumbbell row 20x:
 each arm
3. Shoulders: Military press
4. Biceps: Curls
5. Triceps: Kickbacks
*10 minutes of cardio: 5 minutes of intense walk, run,bike or stepper; 5 minutes of moderate intensity
THEN, repeat Weightlifting circuit 2x’s through, 20 reps each
Stretch and your done. 

Tuesday/Friday: Lower Body and Cardio

Warm Up: 20 Minute Interval Training
Walk or run on treadmill; 1 minute fast, then 1 minute slow for 20 minutes. You can use any machine if running is to difficult. 

Weightlifting: 2x’s through 
1. Legs: Full Body-Weight or Weighted Squats 20-30reps
2.Legs: Stationary lunges 15 reps each leg
3.Calves: Calf Raises 15-30 reps
4. Abs:Ab Crunch 30-50 reps
5.Abs: Raised leg Ab crunch 30-50 reps

*10 minutes of cardio: 5 minutes of intense walk, run,bike or stepper; 5 minutes of moderate intensity
THEN, repeat Weightlifting circuit 2x’s through, 20 reps each
Stretch and your done. After each training session make sure you are feeding your muscles with proper nutrition.
Post-Workout Supplementation 
I use Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength: Great tri-protein supplement that will feed and build those muscles.

On another note if you are a beginner you can still do this program, try by cutting the reps in half or only doing one round instead of two.The key here is progression, in order to see results you must feel the BURN.

Today’s Workout Jam and Warm-up

I really do prefer to workout in the mornings. Not only is it better than a cup of coffee but I don’t have to think about finding time the rest of the day. What works best for me is writing out what it is I plan to do the day or night before that was there are no excuses in the morning.

Now I am going to be honest here, I have not had a gym membership since October of 2011. What I will never give up is my daily dose of bodyrock.tv, this site has changed my life, my fitness and my outlook on being an active individual. The best part about this place is how convenient and portable it is, I can workout anywhere, anytime and with no equipment. It is very effective and it has given me all my strength all in about 12 minutes a day, it isn’t easy by any means but it is a great way to get a solid workout in without the excuse of not having enough time.

Anyways this is the quick little warm up I did: You can find the complete breakdown here: http://www.bodyrock.tv/2012/08/13/fitness-is-sexy-full-real-time-workout/

After I finished this I went into a nice full body stretch and then slammed out this one:

My time was 30 Minutes and I was using a 40-45LB sandbag, you don’t need anything.

I decided to do a nice yoga stretch in and I chose a flow from bodyrock as well found here: http://www.bodyrock.tv/2012/08/09/good-time-flow-yin-yoga-practice/

The great thing about these types of workouts is you are allowed the extra freedom of doing them anywhere, these are my go to when I travel! I have even done them while at a friends house or at the park. After I finished my session I went straight for my Herbalife24 healthy meal replacement for athletes with 2 scoops of Herbalifes protein drink mix. You can find these products here :

The THREE secrets to an AWESOME you

This is part of a 5 part series by Dr. John M. Berardi of how to transform your life and your body by changing a few things about your lifestyle and most importantly your nutrition.
So what are the three secrets and if its so simple why aren’t more people doing it?

1. Surround yourself with support:
You need to have positive supportive people around you to help you and encourage you along your journey. This doesn’t just apply to weight loss, this applies to anything you want to succeed at in life. If you have ever been to college you know that having a support system is detrimental to your success, if you are starting a new business you need solid and important keys players to surround you in order to succeed. If you are around people who are constantly questioning your desire to make changes or who themselves are afraid of change you are going to become discouraged.

Remember this quote : “You are the average of the five people you spend most the time with.”

Surround yourself with those with a common goal, someone who has been there before you and overcome and those who love you and want to see you succeed.

2. HAVE FUN
Do not look at fitness and healthy eating as daunting or you will find yourself miserable. It has to be fun and enjoyable for YOU, you are in control of how you workout and how you eat. Just because someone else enjoys spin class doesn’t mean you have to, there is more than one way to get the prize, make it your way. You can eat healthy and enjoy the things you love to eat at the same time. Find modified recipes, cut down on your portions, give yourself a cheat day. Whatever you do and however you do it, make it your own and you will succeed.

3. START NOW, Not tomorrow.
Tomorrow is TODAY! Even if you change one thing today that’s Ok. I would suggest the crash method. Go through your cupboard and throw away everything bad!! Get it out of your life and resist that temptation, never looking back. If you don’t have it in your sight you will be less likely to eat it. Go to the store and buy snacks for your work, go home and place them in baggies. This prepping will take you 5 minutes but make this whole journey a lot easier.
Snack suggestions:
Nuts
String Cheese
grapes
Carrots
Celery
Apples
Low fat Jerky
Herbalife protein bars
Herbalife Healthy Meal replacements

JUST DO IT! Today not tomorrow!

Awesome workout! Spartan WORKOUT

This is my workout for the day I’m looking to push out about 3 rounds maybe 4 , if I’m #prepared with herbalife24 Prepare (all natural pre-workout) found here, I will knock out the 6 rounds.  —-> https://www.goherbalife.com/bgreen916/en-US/Catalog/Energy-Fitness/Herbalife24/Herbalife24-Prepare
It’s mind over matter, once you get into the workout you focus on the task at hand. The longer it takes you to mentally “prepare” yourself the more likely you are going to find #excuses to not do it. Stop thinking about it, get your trainers on, get your favorite workout threads on, find your closest mirror look at yourself and encourage not discourage. I don’t care if you get through 1 round, that is one more than you would have done other wise. PUSH THE PACE, RUN THE RACE, SET THE LIMIT! And don’t forget to refuel the body when your done, that is your most important meal of the day. 

Cheers XO Brit
P.s:Have a wonderful weekend, make sure that whatever your doing you are remembering to do it with LOVE. Reach out to those around you, become someones inspiration. Most importantly appreciate those closest to you, don’t take any hardship as a failure, our greatest strengths were once our weaknesses!

Watch YourSELF Succeed

Have you ever been to the gym and looked over to notice someone bending over to write something down.. you were probably wondering what someone could possibly need to write at a time like this. I used to be one of those people until I realized how important it was to track what I was doing and to get better at it. My weeks would get so overwhelming that I would lose track of what I did at the gym, when I did it and how much weight I used. You will be able to improve a lot more quickly if you know what it is you are improving and what places need more attention.

1. Keep a workout log

• Write down what you did for the day or what you are going to do. When you get to the gym write down how much weight you used and how many reps and sets you did. Make sure to put the date on top and the day.
• If you are doing cardio it works the same way: how fast were you going, how long and if you set any sort of resistance(incline or resistance on the elliptical). 
• I also add little notes to my workout log: someday’s I’m really tired or hungry, all those points matter and can affect your training. 

2. Create an exercise calendar

• This sounds like the same thing as a workout log but it is not. What you are doing is planing out your workout regimen for the next 4-12 weeks. You shouldn’t ever change your plan more than that or you will not be able to track your progress. So, find a plan and stick to it. I would suggest browsing around bodybuilding.com or my favorite place bodyrock.tv.
• Once you know what your doing everyday it keeps the guesswork out, so get going!

3. Do a 3day diet record

• A lot of the times we think we are eating awesome and we are really not. So write down everything you ate for the last 3 days and see if they match the 5 rules to healthy eating that we covered. If not where can you use improvement. 

4. Plan your meals for 2-weeks

• This sounds very time consuming I know but trust me it SAVES you time because you are not trying to figure out what you are going to eat, you already know.
• Once you have it planned out, Go shopping for it and don’t get anything else that is NOT on your list. 

5. Measure your results

• The only way we are going to know if we are getting better is by reassessing ourselves periodically. I am not just talking about weight here either because half the time that number is not a true and accurate reflection of progress. 
• The easiest way is to take pictures, try once every 2 weeks and try and wear the same thing. 

This all sounds like a lot but after awhile these things will become habits and you won’t ever have to think about it as much. Put in the work now and reap the benefits.
