YOURGUIDE
So happy you could make it! I'm so excited and
grateful to be on this j ourney with you, and I
can't wait to help you build that booty!

PROGRAMMING
Before you start...
Read over all your prescribed exercises, and read through all the
exercise descriptions. If there are exercises you don't understand, or
need further clarification on, post in the Facebook group:
www.facebook.com/ groups/ bodybymg and either me or my admin
Kaitlyn, will get back to you.
RESISTANCE BANDS
Sling Shot Hip Circle (Pink in Medium) www.amzn.to/2yiedAX
SKLZ Mini Bands: www.amzn.to/2x7tXGE
No, you don't have to do them, but you will achieve better results in
4 weeks if you do them. I like to do 15-20 minutes of glute pumpers
after my upper body workouts, so try adding them to the end of
# BODYBYMG
As I can?t train with you one-on-one and assess you, I don?t know
exactly what level of fitness you're at. Keep in mind that if you can?t
perform the exercise with a full range of motion in perfect form,
perform the exercise with perfect form in a partial range of motion.
4
PROGRAMMING
Make the exercises more difficult by:
5
SETSXREPS
What are sets and reps?
6
rest intervals
How long should I be resting for?
I won't bore you with the science, you should be resting for
between 45-90 seconds. Do what works for you. Just make sure
you don't rest to long between sets as you are prone to inj ury if
your body has too long to cool down, plus you won't be making as
many gains!
My biggest tip is to keep your phone locked away, and use the gym
clock or a timer to check yourself. It'll soon become habit and you
won't need to be checking the clock.
7
progressive overload
What is progressive overload?
This is the part where your ego may kick in, but don't add weight to
an exercise until you can do it with perfect form. The first 2 weeks
of this guide may all be bodyweight, j ust make a note of it. Don't
rush yourself. In fact, if you are a beginner I would suggest all
bodyweight or very light dumbbells for the first 2 weeks.
Don't j ust measure progressive overload with the amount you can
lift, video yourself and look at your form each week. This is a great
way to track your progress.
8
STRENGTH DAY
Do I have to do the strength day?
You don't have to do anything if you don't want to! But if you want
the best results possible than yes, do it! Combining heavy, low rep
compound training and lighter higher rep training will yield the best
results.
If you?ve never done an elevated hip thrust before, you will want to
work on your technique before you begin loading the barbell up with
weight. You'll be surprised at how quickly your strength increases.
When you feel confident with your technique, you can start your
strength days. As the lifts won?t be too heavy to start with, you will
only be resting for 90 seconds between sets. As the hip thrust both
start from the floor you will need to use full diameter weights. Use
5kgs on each side so the total weight lifted is 30kg. If this is still too
heavy for you, substitute with a lighter bar or use dumbbells instead.
Don?t skip the warm-up sets, this will help prevent inj ury and allow
you to lift more in the long run.
9
STRETCH
Why do I need to stretch?
I won?t bore you with the long explanation. The part that matters is
the part where I tell you, if you don?t do your stretches you won?t
be able to achieve a maximum range of motion in your workouts.
Less range of motion, means less muscle growth which means no
booty. So if you want the booty or the arms or the legs, do your
stretching kids.
Static stretching are stretches that are held in position for longer
than 30 seconds and elongates the muscles, improving flexibility and
preventing inj ury. You'll find static stretches at the end of your
workout, as part of your cool down.
10
dynamic stretches
LOWERBODY
Open The Gate
1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart
2. Raise your right leg, flex your knee and turn it out to the side,
away from your body
3. Feel the stretch in your groin
4. Lower your leg, repeat and switch sides
Inchworm
1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and bend at the waist
lowering your hands until they touch the ground
2. Slowly inch your hands forward until you form a plank position
3. Drop your hips down and look up
4. Inch your hands slowly backwards until you are standing upright
DYNAMIC STRETCHES
11
STatic stretches
LOWERBODY
Proposal Hip Flexor Stretch
1. Get down on your right knee and place your left foot down on
the floor in front of you
Keeping your back straight, rest your hand on your right knee
and push your hips forward as far as you can
2. You should feel a stretch in your right knee
3. Hold for 1minute and then switch legs
3. Form the squat position and rest your hands on your bent right
leg
4. Hold for 30 seconds and then switch legs
A 5 minute workout that boosts your heart rate will do it. You can
j ump on the treadmill and do a j og or a brisk walk, skip, do star
j umps, run on the spot or do burpees, whatever gets your heart
racing and warms up your body!
A slow 5 minute walk on the treadmill is great too cool down as well
as some static stretching

hat now?
You've finished the 4 week guide congrats, you did it! But don't
think that you're done yet!
There's always room for progression and you can move on and
make these exercises more challenging. Get creative and where
appropriate try:
- resistance bands
- changing sets + reps
- barbells instead of dumbbells and vice versa
- slowing down your eccentrics (lowering)
- pausing longer in the isometric (e.g bottom of a squat)
- increasing your load
- pyramid sets/ drops sets
- changing your grip
- incorporating more compound exercises into your strength
day
You do not need to "shock" your muscles into growing with a new
routine. Many people think that in order to achieve results, they
must change their program frequently. This is not the case. You
should only be changing your entire program if:
