A little back story on us...
So, you may be wondering how we adapted to a consistent healthy lifestyle... Let's
start from the beginning!

Growing up, we always enjoyed playing a variety of sports and leading an active
lifestyle. This consisted of swimming, dancing, competitive cheerleading, soccer and
tennis. We were always quite active kids.

As we have mentioned previously on our channel, we have both personally dealt


with anxiety and mental health issues. One thing we haven't really spoken too much
about is, during our younger teenage years, Liv struggled with extreme anxiety that
ended up leading to an unhealthy mindset with body image and relationships. This
had a major impact on her day to day routine. After working with a very amazing
psychologist for over two years, she managed to overcome these battles. Although
we both to this day still deal with mild anxiety, going through this at such a young
age was a huge wake up call for how to treat the body, mind and soul with care. We
now recognise the importance of working on your mental, physical & emotional
wellbeing for a better and more fulfilling life!

Fast forward a couple of years, it came to year 11. We decided to drop all of our
sporting commitments and hobbies to free up time so we could focus our energy on
graduating school and our part time jobs. It was around this time, that we discovered
our new-found love for going to the gym and living a healthier lifestyle. We started
doing intense training at F45 about 5-6 times a week, some days even getting up
early to attend the 6:15 am class before school, just so we could get a workout in.
We started substituting a lot of our favourite meals for more healthy alternatives.
Things as simple as cutting a lot of dairy and processed foods out of our diet has
helped us see changes and results.

5
Continued...
Once we graduated school we finished training at F45. At the start of 2018 we
started regularly training at a local open weights gym. Since we were so
accustomed to having workouts planned for us at F45, we found going to an open
gym challenging at first; being 17, we had very little knowledge about lifting
weights or the correct type of training and diet to follow, in order to achieve our
goals.

It wasn't until late 2019, when our health journey started heading in another
direction. Around this time we had just moved out of home and into a new suburb
where we started going to a small family-owned gym. It was at this gym, that we
met a number of highly-knowledgable and highly-qualified fitness professionals
who have guided and educated us in all areas of training. They have taught us the
correct type of training and what to eat in order to achieve our health and fitness
goals.

We attend around 5-6 strength or cardio classes each week and genuinely love
how welcoming and motivating the atmosphere is when walking into the gym. Right
now we are at a point in our lives where working out 5 times a week and eating
majorly healthy and balanced keeps us feeling our happiest physically, mentally
and emotionally.

Embrace who you are.

Training Introduction
We developed this program alongside a team of highly qualified fitness
professionals, all with their CERT III and Cert IV in fitness. Between them, they
have over 15 years experience. We have been training with their team since 2019
and have seen some incredible results. We have accomplished many of our
personal health and fitness goals through this program and have significantly
improved our knowledge in all areas of training.

This 6-week program combines a mix of:


Strength-based training
Cardio training (aerobic)
ABT (abs, butt, thighs)
Recovery (stretching)

Each day the program varies and focuses on a different muscle group. For example
Monday is upper body and Tuesday is lower body. This gives your muscles time to
recover and helps avoid injuries and over-training.

WHAT EQUIPMENT WILL I NEED?

The program has been specifically


designed to make training at home
easy! No equipment is required,
however, if you do have equipment
(such as weights or an exercise band),
you may use it to intensify some
exercises.

The trainers behind the program have


left notes and tips throughout where
this is applicable.

If you don't have any weights at home


but still want to increase the intensity
of an exercise... get creative!
Substitute weights for bottles of
water, a thick book etc.

7
Training Introduction
It's important to remember not to try and rush your progress. Achieving results
takes time. You must stay dedicated and not give up! If you are feeling sore or
tight, listen to your body. Take the day off training and have a 'rest day'. Complete
a recovery session (stretching) or go for a short walk to enjoy some fresh air.

We know our program will help you achieve your health and fitness goals and in
turn help you feel GREAT and improve your confidence. Remember, it's important
to not only focus on your training but on eating a balanced diet that incorporates
all food groups, rest (sleep is so important) and enjoying some 'you' time. These
aspects all work together to help you achieve progress, results and most
importantly a healthy state of mind!

We can't wait to train alongside you over the next 6 weeks! It's time to motivate
each other and ensure we stay fit, healthy and active. We would love for you to
share your photos or videos with us while you complete the program! Simply use

Your training breakdown

Why we do strength training

Increases strength and power


Reduces risk of injury
Improves anaerobic endurance
Burns calories
Improves posture
Increases joint strength
Maintains flexibility and balance
Boosts energy levels and mood
Increases bone density and bone health

As you can see, there are numerous benefits to strength training. Incorporating
strength training is vital in all exercise programs and will work to complement
your performance in cardio sessions.

The benefits continue long after your workout. Strength training builds muscle,
which increases your metabolism. A higher metabolism means you burn more
calories all day, even while resting!

Adding strength training to your routine will help you tone your body, improve
your strength and boost your mood and energy levels. Strength training
triggers the release of endorphins and serotonin, the 'feel good' hormones.
This also works to reduce stress and anxiety. When you feel better inside, you
naturally project a more confident version of yourself!

9
Your training breakdown

why we do cardio training


Increases your fitness/stamina
Boosts your mood and energy levels
Strengthens your auto-immune system (better resistance to colds or the flu)
Decreases blood pressure (builds heart strength)
Controls blood sugar levels
Improves memory and thinking ability
Improves self-esteem
Releases tension-fighting hormones
Burns calories
Aids sleep

The benefits of cardio training are endless!


Regular cardio sessions will increase your lung
capacity, build your heart strength and support
positive hormone balance. It also increases
circulation, which leads to clearer skin!

When you complete a cardio session, your heart


rate rises. When this happens, your body will
begin to burn a high number of calories. As a
result, you lose body fat and tone up.

Overall, cardio training will enable you to create


a fitter, healthier and happier version of
yourself. You will feel your energy levels rise
dramatically and your mood thrive, and
therefore become more proactive.

10
Your training breakdown

why we stretch (recover)

Speeds recovery time


Injury prevention
Increases flexibility
Burns calories
Improves muscle condition
Releases toxins
Great way to relax

Stretching has the ability to take your health and fitness to the next level. A recovery
session is included each week in your program (every Sunday). We also have a 'cool
down' at the end of every workout. Both of these activities combine to help speed up
the recovery process after each session.

In the first few weeks of the program, your muscles will still be adjusting to your new
workout regime, so you may notice they are a little bit stiff and sore. Don't stress -
this is very normal when you start a new exercise program! You are using new
muscles and completing new exercises, so your body just needs time to adjust!

Stretching your muscles will improve your flexibility which can help prevent any
injuries and reduce muscle tension. This will allow you to train the same muscle group
again sooner.

11
What we like to eat
BACKGROUND
A large component of our lifestyle and fitness routine is what we eat. We have
introduced a range of foods over the years to feel our best.

From a very young age, we were always quite healthy eaters. Don't get us wrong, we
definitely still went through those teen years where we would eat burgers, fries,
lollies and ice-cream every day with our friends and ENJOY IT! However, we also still
loved fuelling our body with nutritious foods such as vegetables, salads and a mix of
protein and carbs. We always opted for water as our source of hydration (and still
do!).

It wasn't until we reached senior year that we started looking at the sort of foods we
were consuming and began exploring healthier options because at the end of the day
FOOD IS FUEL. Therefore what you put into your body is going to have a huge impact
on how you feel physically, mentally and emotionally!

A series of health issues prompted us


.to examine or diet and start looking at

how it could improve. These include


our struggle with acne, bloating, gut
and digestive issues, anxiety and stress
and energy fluctuations over the years.
We soon realised that one of the
biggest contributors to these issues,
was what we were putting into our
body. As a result, we started eating
more nourishing foods and have since
seen great improvements.

12
What we like to eat

How did we start?


As we mentioned, we never struggled
significantly with incorporating a range of
nutritious, healthy foods when we were
growing up. Therefore, it wasn't very hard
for us to make a few keys changes to our
diet.

For anyone wanting to make an effort to


try and eat healthier, one of our biggest
tips would be to start slow and substitute
less healthy food for healthier options
(e.g. homemade sweet potato chips rather
than french fries).

From our experience, making huge drastic changes overnight can make it difficult to
stay committed and stay consistent. It can also easily lead to very unhealthy eating
habits. We want to look at food in a positive light - it is the FUEL our body needs to
live our everyday life.

WHAT do we eat?
We enjoy eating mainly whole foods. Wholesome, filling and nutritious food has the
power to change your mood in a second. This includes plenty of fruit, vegetables and
salads where we can. We always incorporate a nice balance of healthy carbs,
healthy fats and protein in every meal. These are very important! We have also
slightly reduced our consumption of animal products (mainly dairy), as dairy is one
big contributor to our acne. Everyone is different and it's important to find what
works for you!

13
What we like to eat

Can i still eat the foods i love?


One of the most common statements we hear is "I want to start eating healthier but I
love unhealthy food and don't want to stop eating it". The thing is, you don't have to!
Those foods that are classified as 'unhealthy' are also often referred to as 'soul
foods' because we love them and they feed our soul. You can still eat those foods, it's
just about practising moderation.

For us, we prefer to substitute them for healthier versions. For example, we love
making healthy at-home burgers, pizzas, cookies, pancakes and more. We think you
get the idea! For others, moderation could mean eating mostly clean throughout the
day but also enjoying one or two 'soul foods' within that day - 80% healthy, 20% soul
foods. This also helps stop cravings, binge eating and often, the feeling of guilt. You
definitely don't want to be feeling guilty after eating anything! ENJOY EVERY BITE
AND DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT IT!

Another common pattern we have seen is skipping meals. This is not a good idea! You
will find your energy levels drop and you will tend to 'binge' later in the day. As you
will be training most days throughout this 6 week program, you need all the energy
you can get! Skipping meals will hinder your results and not give your body the energy
it needs to get the most out of each workout.

Personally, everything we eat, we love and enjoy. We aim to fuel our mind and body in
order to get the most out of everyday. As a result, there isn't too much difference
between eating healthy or eating soul-foods for us!

"Eat well, live well,


be well".

14
What we like to eat
Let's wrap it up
It's important to remember that food is about fuelling your mind and body. It should
be enjoyed with family and friends - there is nothing better than sharing a meal with
loved ones. Most importantly, food will help you feel nourished, full of life and fresh.
Having a good relationship with food is key. Remove any guilt associated with eating
and enjoy fuelling your body!

If you combine a healthy relationship with food plus the BURST of endorphins you get
after exercising, you will find that you will clear your mind and that your mood will
improve significantly. You also must keep in mind the importance of rest! Your body
will not 'recover' if you don't allow yourself some time to recharge. Think of sleep like
recharging your iPhone - eventually your body will switch off if you don't give it the
sleep it needs.

Surround yourself with positive, loyal and loving friends that have your back! We
made this program to support all of you and in the hope of helping you grow. We can't
wait to hear how you feel after completing the program!

Keep in mind, if you are not feeling your best, the feeling will pass. It may be 'that time
of the month' or just a random off day. Tomorrow is a NEW day - a time to reset and
refocus.

So let's aim for a balanced and rewarding lifestyle that includes:


- Fuelling your body
- Exercise and staying active
- Resting and recharging
- Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people

Remember, don't be too hard on yourself and make the most of every day!

Here's How It Works

1 Set up your workout space


Try to dedicate a space in home for your workout. Consider how much
space you will need and then scope out the best spot - perhaps your
bedroom, the garage, the backyard or the living room!

2 Review the workout


As each day is different, it is important to take time to review
the workout before you begin. Make sure you understand how it
works and how to perform each movement. If you are unsure about a
certain exercise, check out the index in the back of this book! Have
your equipment ready if you plan to intensify any movement.

3 Timer
Does your workout involve a timer? We suggest downloading 'SIT' or
any other interval timer app you prefer! It's free and easy to use.
Select how many seconds on (action) and how many seconds off
(break). Select how many rounds or sets you need for the circuit and it
should automatically calculate it all for you. Have the timer ready to
go before your workout begins so you can just hit play!

4 Let's do this.
Grab your drink bottle, towel and turn on your favourite workout
playlist. It's time to work up a sweat.

go forward.” – adele basheer 20
An explanation of the key terms
EMOM stands for Every Minute On the Minute
In an EMOM workout, there are a series of exercises that you must complete. You
will have a total of 1 minute, which will be split into work and rest. This will mean
that you start exercising at the beginning of each minute. For example, an exercise
may say 40 seconds on/ 20 seconds off. Here you exercise for the first 40 seconds of
the minute and then rest for the remaining 20 seconds. You then move on to the
next exercise.

Circuits
A circuit is a group of exercises that you work your way through for a specified
number of rounds. Keep an eye on the 'notes' in each workout to determine the
required number of rounds or length of time you must repeat each circuit for.

A1 A2, B's, C's etc.


In all of our strength workouts, you will see a letter (A, B, C or D) and a number (1, 2,
3 or 4). The exercises that have the same letter represents the group of exercises
you will work through together. The number, next to the letter, is the order that you
will do the exercises in.
e.g. please see the photos below: Reps | Sets

3
Reps | Sets
3

The group of exercises on the left are coupled together and separated from the rest
of the exercises by a line (beneath). This means that you will have to complete both
of these exercises before moving on to the next lot of movements. You will start
with A1 then move to A2 and, in this case, you will need to repeat this 4 times.

The same thing goes for the group of exercises on the right. You will start C1
(Close grip push ups), followed by C2 (Plank rocks) and finally C3.

You will repeat C1, C2 and C3 three times as you have 'three' sets in total.

21
An explanation of the key terms

REPS & SETS
Rep: one single exercise.
Reps: the amount of times you must complete that exercise each set.
Sets: the number of rounds that need to be completed of the given reps.

E.g. please see photo below for an explanation

Reps | Sets

The first exercise is D1 and you will need to complete 8 reps (do 8 bunny hops). You
will then move on to D2 which involves 20 reps (do 20 toe touches). Complete D1,
followed by D2 3 times (3 sets).

STR - strENGTH WORKOUTS


We structure our strength sessions with groups of 2 or more exercises to increase the
intensity and overload a specific group of muscles. With greater intensity and loading,
you are able to get so much more out of each session in a shorter amount of time.

ABT - Abs, Butt, Thighs


Time to firm, tone and sculpt your body using body-weight and resistance exercises to
target your abs, butt and thighs. This 45 minute class will leave you burning and
wanting more!

FIT - Fitness (cardio)


A class that focuses on a combination of strength, cardio and flexibility to help you
reach your strength and fitness goals faster. Our ultimate sweat session.

22
An explanation of the key terms

RCV - Recovery (stretching)


The aim of this class is to stretch and recover the body from previous training
sessions. Using a combination of various stretches, it is the perfect way to end a big
week of training and prepare your body for the week ahead.

The breakdown:
Strength (STR)
Cardio (FIT)
Abs, butt, thighs (ABT)
Recovery (REC)
INDEX
Please refer to the index at the back of the book for a step-by-step guide to every
exercise and stretch! We have also taken photos of each movement to make it easier
for you to understand.

Keep an eye out for the pink asterisks throughout the program. If you have a
small resistance band (booty band), place it just above your knees to increase
the intensity and burn in your glutes!

These exercises are


great to complete with
a booty band!

Check in with yourself
Sometimes challenges and struggles are exactly what we need in life. They allow
us to appreciate the small things and be grateful for everything we have.

Being grateful changes your mindset and helps you create a positive attitude. It
shifts your focus from what you don't have, to what you do. Gratitude is key to
success and life in general. You must embrace and accept yourself and appreciate
everything you have.

Be you and be proud of who you are. You will shine brighter than ever before.

See difficult times as an


opportunity to grow...

Your daily routine
It's essential to start your day off on the right foot. Starting your day
negatively, sets you up to fail! It's important to wake up and think how
lucky you are. Start your day by thinking about three things you are
grateful for. Practising gratitude is key. These three simple thoughts may
be that your healthy, fit and that the sun is shining! They can be small or
big.

Most importantly, remember to smile! A smile will not only bring you
instant happiness, but a feeling of confidence.

controlled throughout the movement. Do not rush
it.

the air, directly above your hips.
2. Exhale and lift your shoulders and upper back off the
ground. Raise your arms and reach towards your toes.

Twerks
1. Stand tall, with feet shoulder width apart and toes
facing outwards. Squat until your knees are at 90º.
2. Place your elbows on the inside of your knees and use
them to push your knees out. Keep your hands fisted
together. Your elbows/hands must stay in this
position throughout the whole movement.
3. Straighten your legs slightly. Your bum should raise
and you should feel a burn/stretch in your
hamstrings. Bend to return to your original squat
position and repeat for given reps.

Wall Assisted Tricep Extensions


1. Stand an arm's-length distance, facing a solid wall.
Put your arms out straight in front of you and put
your palms on the wall.
2. Take a small step backward with both feet. This is

keep your hips back slightly throughout the
movement. Try to keep your elbows close together.

starting position, squeezing your triceps at the top.
Please note: the further away from the wall you
stand, the more challenging the movement becomes.

Wall Sit

Lower yourself down with your shoulders and hips
resting back on the wall.
2. Step your feet out and bend your knees - you are now
in a squat (keep your hips and knees at 90º). Press
against the wall for balance. Hold for the given time.
