C ARDIO TRAINING
Cardio Training can be split into 2 categories,
HIT & L.S.D. training.

L.S.D
Long slow distance or L.S.D is also know as steady
state cardio. This is where you maintain the same level
or intensity or heart rate for an extended period of time.
i.e 30-45mins.During Fitaz in 28 days you will use this
style of training to allow your body to recover while
also aiming to burn calories i.e fat then and there while
performing the exercise. During Fitaz in 28 day’s you
will be given 2 days of 45 min L.S.D training to perform
at any time you like.

This is a highly important part of the program and

must not be forgotten about. The reason we have
left the choice of when to do the L.S.D session up to
you is because of the length of time it takes. All other
sessions are based on being completed under the 30
minute mark. Plan to fit these longer L.S.D sessions
into a time of the week that suits you best.

EXAMPLE:
Walk, jog, swim or cycle at a steady pace for 45 mins or more

BEGINNER- 1 PER WEEK

INTERMEDIATE - 2 PER WEEK
ADVANCED - 3 PER WEEK

H.I.T
To be performed 2 times per week on ‘off’ days.
High intensity training or H.I.T training is typically
known as short bursts of intense effort followed by a
recovery phase. There are two phases to this training:
a work phase and a rest phase. It is important to
become breathless! After your intense phase, recover
and go again!

EXAMPLE:
Running up a hill for 10 seconds then recovering by walking
down the hill for 30 seconds. This type of training is an
effective way to increase your metabolism. This means you
are burning fat even when you are not training by using
energy to recover from the intensity of the workout.

progress. Set specific goals and specific dates for
when you want to see these results achieved.

Try to keep it balanced.

MY MAJOR OBJECTIVES -

Hot bodies aren’t made on excuses! So stay motivated, informed and on track and print out the attached food diary and fitness
schedule to keep you focused throughout the next 28 days. If all else fails, enlist a fitness buddy and get your burpee on together!
Beyond this, ask yourself why your goal is so important to you and how would you feel if you achieved it? By creating an emotional
attachment to these objectives, you are more likely to stick at it, and see amazing results.

MY REWARD -

Treat yo’ self! Just not with chocolate…take it from us, the best way to stay motivated is a weekly

MY INSPIRATION -

LET ’S GET REAL
THE STATS
It’s time to get real! Break out your measuring tape
(and enjoy that last square of chocolate)
because now is the time to measure up.

The best way to track your progress is by testing your fitness ability
and taking measurements prior to commencing the guide. Once
you have completed the Fitaz 28 Day guide, re-evaluate your
fitness ability and measurements by completing the same tests.
This way your improvement can be determined accurately.

Helpful hints to make sure you get the most out of your results:

WEIGH IN

1. Weigh in first thing in the morning (before breakfast).

This will give you an accurate indication
of your true weight.

2. Keep your weigh in consistent.

It is vital to check your weight at the
same time every day.

MEASUREMENTS

1. When measuring your waist, make sure the tape is

aligned with your belly button and keep the tape as
straight as possible around your back.

2. To measure your hips, place the measuring tape

around the widest part of your bum. Once again,
ensure the measuring tape is straight.
TIPS:

1. Measure in your bikini (or naked) to get an accurate

reading. We’re all about precision here folks!
2. Take your progress photos in the same mirror
wearing the same clothing each time. This shows
true progress and will give you an awesome before
and after photo

HOW MANY BURPEES CAN YOU DO IN ONE MINUTE?

WHY A BURPEE?
We have compressed our Physical Testing down to one simple
exercise: the burpee. With it’s wide range use of large muscle
groups combined with the Cardio Vascular, Strength and Muscular
Endurance requirements, this nifty little number is the perfect way
to asses your physical ability.

HOW IT WORKS?
By testing the amount of burpees you can complete in a minute, it
gives us a clear indication of what ‘level of difficulty’ category you
fall into. The following grading method applies:

Beginner <12
Intermediate 12-16
Advance 16>

Once you have identified your level of difficulty, this is your

category for the entire guide.

PHOTO
Tracking your progress with a photo is one of the most successful and motivating ways
to see results. During the Fitaz guide, your body composition will change dramatically.
Your body fat percentage will decrease and you will gain muscle tone. As we all know,
muscle weighs more than fat so whilst your scales may show little change, a photo does
not lie!

When the time comes, simply add liquid to your smoothie

Vegetable Fillings
Choose your favourite vegetables, clean and slice them into
bite-sized portions and store in an air tight container in the
fridge. Scoop out a cup or two and add to your breakfast
omelette or simply steam for lunches or dinners.

Protein Portions
Pre-cooked protein works best for lunch as many of us don’t
have the option of cooking during work hours. Try poaching
chicken and shredding it into pieces before weighing portions
and placing into a snap lock bag. For dinners, and all other
occasions, weigh and freeze your meat portions in snap lock
bags. This makes it much easier than having to defrost large
amounts at once.

REINSTATEMENT & ENGAGE DAY 8 - 14 NUTRITION

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the phase where you will get up close and
personal with your body’s needs and food sensitivities.

Now that you have worked hard in cleansing and detoxifying

your body during Phase 1, it is time to reinstate common
foods to highlight any food allergies that can be harmful to
everyday life and preventative to your desired body results.

This is a time where you must pay particular attention to what

your body is telling you, as you reintroduce certain foods
back into your diet.

Coffee lovers can also rejoice! In this phase you can

reintroduce coffee, but for now stick to long blacks on your
dairy free days!

Be attentive to the following

indicators of food sensitivities:

Sleep Quality
Energy Levels
Skin Tone

Further, be mindful of nastier reactions such as:

Inflammation
Bloating
Cramps
Constipation

27
PHASE 2
REINSTATEMENT & ENGAGE DAY 8 - 14 NUTRITION

FOOD
REINS TATED FOOD COMMON ASSOCIATED SYMPTONS
DAIRY Gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, sinus
Cheese (cottage cheese, congestion, post nasal drip, constant need to clear
ricotta, yoghurt, milk) the throat, allergies (environmental) may worsen.

Gas, bloating, constipation, fatigue immediately after

eating the food, fatigue on waking the next day
(or a gradual decline noticed in energy over the next
RYE week or so), irritability, anxiety, headaches,
water retention (can’t get your rings off, puffiness
under the eyes the next day) dark circles under
the eyes on waking the next day.

WHEAT Similar to rye.

RED MEAT Gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort.

GUIDELINES
Reinstate one food group every second day.
If you do have sensitivity to a particular food,
your body can take up to 24 hours to tell you.

On the “OFF” days stick to Phase 1 meal

examples and guidelines.

Introduce 2 serves of the chosen food

on the day of reinstatement.

If you did not eat the reinstated food before

the Fitaz guide there is no need to consume it now.

This process is for you to understand how food

makes you feel. This will give you an indication
of food sensitivity and whether
or not you want to continue consuming it in your diet.

In Phase 2 you will begin to see an increase in muscle tone.
As you transition from Phase 1 you can expect to lose 250 grams
to 500 grams each week due to the right nutrition and fitness.
This is healthy and achievable fat loss.

COCKTAIL HOUR !
While you must stay strong for the initial 28 days and avoid alcohol
to get the most out of this guide, there are certain ways to indulge
in the occasional drink, going forward.

The rule of thumb is pretty simple, stick with the hard stuff
and avoid sugary mixers!

Our go-to beverage is a classic vodka,

soda water and fresh lime.

Cheers team!

EATING OUT!
You’ve worked hard, you’re looking smoking - there is no way we’re going
to let you hide away at home on the weekend! Often when people are
training hard and are focused on their fitness, they feel the need to cut
back on social activities.

Don’t avoid going out altogether,

simply follow these suggestions and enjoy your meal:

Choose a restaurant that promotes healthy options on the menu.

Nibble on high-fibre snacks just before you go to curb your hunger.
An apple, some carrot sticks and hummus will do the trick.

Order your salad dressing on the side.

A plain olive oil and vinegar option is the best choice.
Swap anything too indulgent for dessert (sorry Chocolate Mud Cake…)
for a fresh fruit salad with a tea or skinny cap (hello hot bod).

WHAT ’S NEXT ?
Don’t worry! It’s not all over. Continue with the Phase 3
guidelines to maintain great nutritional and fitness results.

This program has now equipped you with the skills to maintain
good habits for a lifetime of hotness.

However, as this is a world where superfoods, new nutritional

studies and innovative fitness regimes are forever evolving, this
is not the last chapter for Fitaz.

Watch this space…

HEALTHY FATS
All fats are not the same. Choosing which type of fat is
important as they are all high in kilojoules. Some fats contain
unsaturated fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated),
which are essential for good health. Other fats include
vitamins A, D and E.
Saturated fats can have a negative effect on our body
so it is important to replace food with saturated fats, with
produce that contains unsaturated fats. Fats are important
for weight loss as they affect our appetite controlling
hormones leptin and CCK.
Adding raw, unsalted nuts to your diet is a great snack;
they increase the release of satiety hormones in the gut,
helping to control your appetite. Nuts have also been shown
to protect against heart disease and obesity. Stick to the
sserving sizes on page 35.
