I’m so excited to finally be able to help people on a more personal level. I can’t wait
to help you achieve your goals and guide you to be the best possible version of
yourself! I know what it’s like to be a beginner, and it can be horribly discouraging.
My guides allow for the user to take the steps to reach consistency and progress,
while skipping some of the more difficult tasks with mentality. There are a lot of
misconceptions about diet and working out that can lead you running in circles,
and I hope I can prevent you from doing that, and get you directly where you need
to be! Thanks for believing in me

Anatomy

All skeletons develop differently. Bone structure varies from


person to person and may determine a lot of your body’s
shape. It can determine how wide your hips are or how
small your waist is. It may determine the size of your rib
cage. It can determine if you have broad shoulders, and the
list goes on! These are all genetic traits that you cannot
really control.

While you cannot control your bone structure, you can


control your muscle growth and fat loss. This guide will help
you in accentuating your natural body shape by building
your muscles as well as losing fat!

4
Cardio
Cardiovascular health is very important! Warming
up and/or cooling down with your workouts is a
great idea for everyone using the guide. I
recommend incorporating stretching and brief
5-10 minute cardio with each day.

I wanted this guide to be accommodating for


every body type and for every goal. That
being said, I did not include a significant
cardio schedule. If your goal is to grow
muscle, you must eat more calories than you
burn each day. If you would like to lose fat,
you must burn more calories than you eat
each day. I’ll include detailed explanation on
nutrition, fat loss, and muscle gain in the next
pages!

5
Nutrition
I don’t like diets. Diets make me nervous, and I think they are a slippery slope. I’m
all about balance, happiness, and control of emotions. I do not like very restrictive
diets or diets that aren’t beneficial to your physical, mental, and emotional health.
Instead of thinking of a diet as restrictive, I like to think of diets with this definition:

di·et 1
/ˈdīət/ the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats.

I am not a dietician, nor am I a nutritionist. Some of the advice and information I


am giving in this guide is based upon the training I received through the National
Academy of Sports

Medicine. A lot of the advice is based upon my personal experiences, as well as


what I have observed in the fitness and bodybuilding community.

I track my food intake with a diet referred to as If It Fits Your Macros (IIFYM).
Macronutrients are the building blocks of your diet. Protein, carbohydrates, and
fats are what compose the calories of your diet, and each macronutrient helps the
body in a specific way! Protein is a great macro that will keep you satiated and
will aid in muscle growth. Carbohydrates fuel your workouts. They are made into
glucose which your body will use for energy! I love to eat carbs before and after
my workouts to fuel and reenergize. Fats are very important as well. Fats are used
to store energy in the body, as well as to insulate and protect our vital organs!

I use a food scale to measure my food intake, which makes tracking a lot easier.
My favorite app to use to track my macros is Myfitnesspal. It’s so helpful because
you can scan a barcode and bam your food pops up! If you don’t feel comfortable,
you don’t have to get extreme and measure your meals! Slow and steady wins the
race, don’t overwhelm or complicate yourself. Just being aware of what you’re
putting into your body can be enough to have progress!

6
Calories
I mentioned before, your calorie intake should be based upon your goals. If you’d
like to gain muscle, you must eat more calories than you burn during your
workouts. If you’d like to lose body fat, you must burn more calories than you eat.
Now, this doesn’t mean your fit watch or treadmill will read, “2,000 calories
burned”, after you’ve finished... It’s a bit deeper!

Everyday, your body constantly works to keep you alive. While doing this, your
body burns calories, even while you’re at rest! On top of that, you may even move
around a little extra at the gym or wherever it may be, which may increase your
total burned calories. And on top of THAT your body will burn more calories trying
to recover from the sick workout you just completed! All of that really adds up!

The number of calories you burn in a day is referred to as your Total Daily Energy
Expenditure, or TDEE. If your daily calorie intake stays under your TDEE, it will most
likely result in fat and/or muscle loss. If your daily calorie intake stays above your
TDEE, it will most likely result in muscle and/or fat gain.

Using this information hopefully will help you use this guide to its fullest extent! The
workouts will challenge you, but your diet will ultimately show how you
progress… so it’s important to be consistent!

7
Mental
Health
With the way that society views bodies, your mental health is important throughout your
fitness journey. Everyday there are advertisements catered to insecurities, and they
encourage a negative view of different parts of your bodies, deemed as “flaws”, by
society. I personally try to avoid picking out my flaws, and I debunk the term in my head.
Who says I need to be shorter, taller, thinner, thicker? My own perception of myself is the
most important one, and can help me shape a happy relationship with working out, food,
and my body.

With all of that being said, please be slow, steady, and gentle
with yourself. There is a thin line between being proactive
and being obsessive with eating habits and working
out. Look out for yourself, constantly question and
analyze why you’re doing what you’re doing. Is it
for you? Is it to improve your health and
wellness? Or is it to fit into the views that
society has created?

Always question the intention of an


advertisement!

8
Building
Healthy Habits
They say a habit takes 21 days of consistency to keep it up. I love to track my habits in a
journal. I make a short list of daily goals to keep, and check them off as I complete them.
Drink enough water? Check. Cook all of my own meals today? Check. Cardio? Check. Small
things like this can help you to stay accountable. Try not to overwhelm yourself with goals
though! Having too many may be unreasonable. Add a few new goals each week that
don't require much work, and soon you'll find it pretty simple to balance everything.
Maybe the first week, make it a goal to complete each workout and pay a little more
attention to your food intake. Then week two, try to pay more attention to
your food intake, complete each workout, and make it a goal to
drink more water! Small tasks end up adding up and you'll be
surprised how much you can improve your lifestyle.

Motivation is a key concept that everyone thinks they


are lacking. I like to avoid the word motivation, and use
the word, “self-discipline” instead. Sure, seeing a
photo or workout video on the internet may give you
motivation every once in a while… but on those
days where you’re feeling rough and don’t really
want to move is when you’ll really need that
self-discipline. You will have to learn to get
yourself to the gym without wanting to. The one
thing that will cause you to complete a task is
the rewarding feeling of doing what you
thought you couldn’t do. Would you rather be
glad you did it or sad that you didn’t?

Another good habit to have is to know your


limit. Have you been on point with your diet all
week? Great! Reward yourself with a portion of
your favorite food. Have you been waking up
early and going to bed at a reasonable hour
daily? Amazing, reward yourself with time to
relax and watch your favorite show. Been
crushing your workouts for a week straight?
Remember to rest and regroup, then be ready to
begin again the next day or two. It’s all about
finding a healthy balance, and not feeling
negatively about the goals, workouts, or food that
you set for yourself. Remember that treating
yourself to a sweet or savory snack will not ruin all
of your progress. Restricting until you can't stand it
anymore may result in binging the sweets, or may
harm your relationship with food. Fitness is sometimes a
significant mental and physical struggle, but finding the
best lifestyle for you is the end goal!

Body Positivity
I'd like to take this portion of the guide to remind you that you are wonderfully made,
and you should remind yourself every moment you feel otherwise. There is nothing
inherently wrong with you. Perception is a wild thing, and the way we perceive things
can be vital to our self esteem.

We may think everyone is staring at us, waiting for us to mess up. We might think we look
like crap today because our bodies don't fit into our clothes. We might see a photo or
advertisement featuring a beautiful, digitally altered, image of a body that isn't similar at
all to ours. I want you to remember that a lot of the world is set up to make you feel lesser
than you are, but it isn't true. Many people will give into the world's conventional beauty
standards; they'll believe what they hear. This may come in the form of your mom telling
you that if you don't shave, you're disgusting. It may come in the form of ads telling you
your breath stinks and to use their product. It may be your boyfriend liking a photo of a
beautiful girl, and you may perceive it as invalidating and start comparing yourself to her
subconsciously.

The quote, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," holds true


even if it is cliché. You should be your only 'Beholder'.
Society, peers, family, friends, relationships, etc. should
not have a say in how you look or how you feel as a
result of it. Work on being the best you, improve your
own self based on your own goals and perception.
Continually analyze your thoughts and feelings
in regards to your body, advertisements,
societal pressures, and anything that could
make you feel lesser than. Being aware is
the first step to realizing your worth. And
you are WORTHY!

10
Debunking
Myths
There are a lot of common misconceptions about our bodies. Knowing some of these things,
will help you avoid wasting time, or working out in the wrong manner, with the wrong
goals. Having knowledge on these may help you progress more quickly, with more
confidence!

Spot Reduction.
Spot reduction is the claim that body fat can be reduced from one specific area of the body,
if you do exercises for that designated area.

False.
I receive messages like, "If I do arm workouts, will I lose the fat on the back of my arms?" or
a very common one, "If I do chest workouts, will the little fat by my armpits go away?" The
simple answer is no. Bodies naturally hold fat in different places. You may naturally hold
fat in your upper body, like your arms, breasts, trunk, etc. Or you may hold fat in your lower
body, like your legs, glutes, etc. You may have fat evenly distributed throughout your body.
Unfortunately, doing crunches will not make you lose fat on your waist. It may leave you
sore with a strengthened core, but your abs will still be covered by the fat that exists there.
Eating in a caloric deficit, as well as incorporating high intensity workouts that burn
calories, will help you to lose fat.

Cardio is the only way to effectively lose fat.

False.
Yes, cardio is a very effective way to burn calories. And yes, you will often burn more
calories during cardio than during weight training. But, people often forget about the
calories burned and the benefits of weight training. During a lifting session, you will burn
calories. Research has also shown, that you continue to burn calories for hours after your
lifting session. Weight training is also more effective at building muscle than cardio. As you
build more muscle from weight training, your muscles burn more calories at rest than does
fat tissue. Your resting metabolism may gradually increase from weight training. Keep this
in mind when doing your workouts or planning a future workout!

11
Weight lifting turns fat into muscle.

False.
Fat and muscle are two very different tissues, and biologically, your fat will not turn into
muscle from exercise. What happens is, as you gain more muscle with weight training,
your body fat percentage will decrease depending on your nutrition intake. This is what
people often refer to as 'toning'.

Losing fat is the only way to make your waist smaller.


This one is the main reason why I never had the motivation to workout. I thought that since
I was already skinny, there would be no point to working out, because I don't want to get
smaller.

Nope!
During my first year of weight lifting, my waist was 24 inches, and my hips were 38 inches.
I was 135 lbs. Now, my waist is 26 inches, and my hips are 42 inches. I am 150 lbs. Yet, I
continuously get the question of: "How did you lose the weight", or

"What did you do to make your waist so much smaller". and I even receive the,

"you're getting too much into this working out thing",

"your waist is unhealthy",

"you need to eat more."

But I gained 15 lbs... this doesn't make sense.I did not lose weight to make my waist appear
smaller!

Proportions are a fancy illusion. For the year, I worked on lifting weights to sculpt and grow
my full body. I built my back, arms, legs, glutes... but waists don't really gain muscle mass.
Proportionally, my lower and upper body got much bigger, which comparatively, caused
my waist to look smaller. People need to realize that working out isn't always about
shrinking yourself, but it is about growing in the places you'd like to grow!

Lifting weights makes women bulky.

False.
This mindset is also what kept me out of the gym for years and years. I never thought that
lifting weights was even an option for me. I didn't want abs, I didn't want huge arms. Don't
only women bodybuilders lift weights? Why would that interest me? I had no idea that I
could sculpt my body to accentuate my natural bone structure or curves. I was just skinny,
had no muscle mass, and thought... "well this is my body, that's it." I really thought
increasing cardiovascular endurance was the only possible outcome for me at the gym...
and man, was I limiting myself!

12
Growing my muscles and learning about my body has given me the best feeling of
sexiness, strength, power, and beauty. It's much more different to do simple tasks like
carrying a backpack around, helping move things at work, unloading the dishwasher,
holding my arm out for 3 minutes straight changing the radio station in the car, etc. I even
feel like I walk with more purpose. I can notice with different movements, "Oh I'm
activating my hamstrings more when I walk like this." I'm no longer shuffling my feet or
activating as little muscles as possible with each step.

Muscles also look different with different body compositions. I don't look totally ripped
because I have a higher body fat percentage. If I had a lower fat percentage, different
muscles would begin to pop. Without fat on my arms, my shoulders and biceps would be
more prominent. I would have more abdominal definition, and you'd be able to notice
muscles in my legs and back more. Women in body building also achieve their physiques
through years and years of purposeful training. They have a goal, and they achieve it
through RIGOROUS routine, training, and discipline. They aim to get to 10% body fat at
times. The average woman is 25-31% body fat. To think you will simply get bulky from being
a beginner in weight training is insulting to the hard dedicated work that these women put
in.

The last myth to debunk is not necessarily a myth, but more of a topic of discussion.

There are many different categories of fitness; Crossfit, body building, boxing, yoga, dance,
weight training, running, cycling, calisthenics, athletic sports, to name a few. With all of
these comes different goals, ideas of progression, do's and dont's. Which is why it is so
DANG hard to figure out what you're doing wrong and right when you go to the gym.

There is a conversation happening around weight training currently, regarding building


muscle and losing fat at the same time. There is research proving one end to be correct, and
research proving the other end to be correct. Before, many people claimed that losing fat
and building muscle at the same time is near impossible. There were claims that only
beginners or steroid users could experience this phenomenon called "body recomposition".
This is why cycles of bulking (eating in a caloric surplus to gain muscle) or cutting (eating in
a caloric deficit to lose fat) is currently so prominent in the fitness community.

But recently, research has shown that even lifters with decades of experience are able to
experience body recomposition. I'd like you to take this information with a grain of salt,
because even I am testing this theory! Before, I was a firm believer in the bulk and cut
cycle, but after reading other information, I figured I should try body recomp myself. I
encourage you to research more to guide your decision on how you base your nutrition.
