GETTING
STARTED
Hello!!!
muscle, while shedding off a few lbs of fat. Many people are looking to get "toned"
although that isn't possible. What they are really aiming to do is gain lean muscle
and reduce their body fat. Unfortunately, we cannot spot reduce fat on our bodies,
but HAVE NO FEAR this guide is designed to help you acheive body recomposition.
These next 8 weeks of workouts are made to help you shed off some fat while you
In order to increase lean muscle mass you should aim to eat the proper amount of
nutrient dense foods. Proper nutrition allows you to fuel your training sessions and
feel energized after! You can't outwork a bad diet but that doesn't mean you have

TRAINING
SPLIT
This guide follows a training split of 5 days of lifting and two days of rest. Cardio
is optional for your goals and we will discuss how to incorporate that later on.
There is also one ab circuit a week, that you can add onto the workout of your
choice!
When creating this guide, I decided to structure the workouts in the order that is
most optimal to do them, but the 2 rest days you have a week should align with
I generally give myself a full 48 hours to rest between training the same muscle
group (i.e. I train legs Monday and Thursday) but my rest days change each
week because my schedule changes week to week! I encourage you to follow the
order of the workouts throughout these next 8 weeks, but if you have to swap a
few days here and there, don’t stress! Give yourself proper rest and recovery

CARDIO
Cardio is a tool to use when your goal is fat loss, and it also is a tool to help keep
your cardiovascular health in check. There are many different kinds of cardio,
from running on the treadmill, to circuit workouts, sprints, the stairmaster, and
the list goes on and on. It is important to establish your goals, calories, and
training when considering if and how much cardio to do. If your goals are to lose
calories than you are consuming. This can be achieved in multiple ways: cutting
calories, adding in additional activity during the day (i.e. cardio), or a mix of
both.
How you choose to approach fat loss is completely personal, but I tend to do a
mix of both. I love to eat so when I first start working to lose fat, I add in cardio
doing a bit more work sounds better than eating less food. When it comes to
how much cardio you should do each week I recommend starting off small. As
you continue to put yourself in a deficit you have to eat less food or become
more active, so if you begin with loads of cardio it will be difficult to gradually
Establish roughly how much you are eating in a day and increase your energy
recommend more than 3x10min sessions to start out), add in some circuit
training, increase the intensity of your training sessions (i.e. do more work) or
increase your daily activity levels (i.e. increase your steps, take the stairs, etc.)
As you continue to make progress you will need to stay consistent in your deficit
and only make changes in your cardio when you feel you are no longer making
6 progress on your current protocols.
INTRO TO
MACROS
Macronutrients are in every single food we consume. They are what
make up the calorie content you see on the nutrition labels of your
food. The three macronutrients are carbs, proteins, and fats. A gram

1g of protein = 4 calories

important that your nutrition reflects that, in order make the most

STEP 3: DETERMINE PROTEIN INTAKE
The first of the three macros you will calculate for is protein. This is
daily basis. If you are fairly lean, 1g of protein per 1 lb of body weight
is sufficient. If you feel you have a good amount of body fat to lose
and not so much lean muscle mass .7-.8g of protein per 1lb of body
weight is appropriate.
In order to calculate how many calories this will make up in your total
calories, you will multiply the # of grams by 4 (protein has 4 cals per
gram)

STEP 5: CALCULATE CARBOHYDRATE INTAKE
This is where the calories from fat and protein we calculated above
come into play. The calories you have remaining are what your carbs
will account for. In order to determine how many calories that is, you
will use the equation below and use the numbers you have
TOTAL CALS - cals from protein - cals from fats = cals remaining for
carbs
Now that you know how many calories you have left, you will

takes out the guesswork when you are making meals and tracking
macros. I don't think that everyone needs to use a scale their whole
lives, but it is great for those who want to learn what a proper portion
size LOOKS like, so when they don't have a scale handy or just don't
want to use one anymore they are able to eat and track the proper
portion size.
When it comes to the actual tracking, MFP has a button in the top
right corner that allows you to scan the barcode of your foods. This
takes the guessing game out of selecting the proper item in their
library of foods. From here you are able to adjust the serving size and
how much of that serving you ate. I typically weigh things by the

required sets and reps, without causing pain. The last 2-3 reps of each set should
fatigue you. If you feel fatigued after the first 3 reps, your weight is too heavy, and
if you can perform all reps with ease, your weight is too light.
