WELCOME!You did it! You took the first step in deciding to change your body for the better and I am forever grateful thatyou chose my plan to help you get there. I created this Workout Plan for those of you who are followingIIFYM/Flexible Dieting and/or who are starting to Reverse Diet and would like a structured exercise plan tofollow as well.
This plan is broken up into three 4 week phases. Each phase a bit harder than the last. Lift as heavy as YOUcan, work hard and have fun.
Please find some helpful information about weeks 1-4 below.
Warm up and cool downAlways remember to warm up effectively for 5 minutes prior to starting your workout. To reduce yourrisk of injury include light sets of each exercise you are about perform in your warm up.
Remember to cool down for at least 5 minutes after your workout and include stretches for each musclegroup worked. Hold each stretch for 30 seconds.
The WorkoutsThis workout plan is for those of you who have access to a gym or have a home gym with the necessaryequipment. Please note that workouts can be altered if you don’t have access to a gym.
The plan is based on exercising five days per week with a rest on Saturday and Sunday. If you would like, youcan add in an on the weekend. Feel free to change yourrest days around to fit your schedule.
Go as heavy as you can, while still maintaining good form. You should be shaking by the final rep.
Exercise GuideI have included links to external sites that show you how to perform each exercise. This can be found on thelast two pages of this section.
Perform all exercises one after the other without resting. Once you have completed all exercises take a 1–2minute break before repeating the circuit.
CardioPerform cardio 1-3 days per week for 15-30 minutes either your weight training or separate from it. Forexample if you lift at night you may choose to do your cardio in the morning. The choice of cardio is up to you,choose any type of cardio that YOU enjoy. I usually recommend at least one HIIT session per week (if you arephysically able). If you are feeling fatigued then you can swap 15-30 minutes of moderate and high intensitycardio for 40-50 minutes of low intensity steady state cardio (at 60-65% of your max heart rate).
Workout CalendarThe workout calendar lists the workouts you need to complete each day along with a checkbox for you to tickoff once you have completed that workout.
I have also included check boxes for your weekly calories/macros and your cardio sessions.

YOU ARE DOING GREAT!
You are now into the second phase of the IIFYM Workout Plan! Keep it up! You are well on your way to a fitand healthy body. Please find some helpful information about weeks 5-8 below.
Warm up and cool downAlways remember to warm up effectively for 5 minutes prior to starting your workout. To reduce yourrisk of injury include light sets of each exercise you are about perform in your warm up.
Remember to cool down for at least 5 minutes after your workout and include stretches for each musclegroup worked. Hold each stretch for 30 seconds.
The WorkoutsThis workout plan is for those of you who have access to a gym or have a home gym with the necessaryequipment. Please note that workouts can be altered if you don’t have access to a gym.
The plan is based on exercising five days per week with a rest on Saturday and Sunday. If you would like, youcan add in an on the weekend. Feel free tochange your rest days around to fit your schedule.
Week 8 is a ‘high rep’ week. During this week you will complete the workouts listed, but instead of using theusual reps, you will complete 15-30 reps of each exercise. You want to reduce your training load during yourhigh rep/recovery week and you want to aim to lift around 50% of your max.
Go as heavy as you can, while still maintaining good form. You should be shaking by the final rep.
Exercise GuideI have included links to external sites that show you how to perform each exercise. This can be found on thelast two pages of this section.
Perform all sets of each exercise before moving on to the next set. Take a 30-60 second break between eachset.
Dropset: After you complete your final rep of your last set, lessen the weight by around 30% and thencontinue the set until failure is reached again. Continue dropping the weight as many times as you can.
CardioPerform cardio 2-4 days per week for 15-30 minutes either your weight training or separate from it. Forexample if you lift at night you may choose to do your cardio in the morning. The choice of cardio is up to you,choose any type of cardio that YOU enjoy. I usually recommend at least one HIIT session per week (if you arephysically able). If you are feeling fatigued then you can swap 15-30 minutes of moderate and high intensitycardio for 40-50 minutes of low intensity steady state cardio (at 60-65% of your max heart rate).
If you are short on time, try adding cardio moves (jump rope, box jumps, step ups, jumping lunges, burpees)in between your weight training sets.
Workout CalendarThe workout calendar lists the workouts you need to complete each day along with a checkbox for you to tickoff once you have completed that workout.
I have also included check boxes for your weekly calories/macros and your cardio sessions.
