INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Project Resolution and congratulations for taking the first step to
transforming your body and your life.
I’m Kris Gethin, the Founder of Kaged. I have been twice voted as the world’s best
transformation expert. Over the course of the next 7 weeks, I will be both your training
partner and your coach as I guide you through what we’re calling Project Resolution.
We are calling this Project Resolution for a reason. The data shows that 91% of people
don’t achieve all their New Year’s resolutions. Maybe you were part of that statistic in the
past. We aim to change that.
This program is designed to make this year different. Everything is laid out for you,
all you have to do is follow the program to a tee. But make no mistake, it will be hard,
and you will be tested. I am counting on you to stay disciplined, grind, and push yourself
to failure. If you can commit to finishing this program with no excuses, I promise you this–
over the course of the next 7 weeks you will get stronger, leaner, and be 1 step closer to
achieving your health and fitness goals.
If you’re ready to attack the next 7 weeks, let’s get into the details of the program.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This program is about getting the best results in the shortest amount of time.
That means it’s all-encompassing and covers every aspect of health and fitness.
It includes a 5-day per week training program, complete with every set, rep,
and exercise. On the nutrition front, we give you the exact blueprint you need to
follow, from macronutrient breakdowns, to approved food, to the timing of your
meals. We even cover the supplement routine you should follow to help you recover
faster and perform better.
This program is about simplicity. It’s designed for anyone to follow, whether you’re
a seasoned veteran or a beginner. You’ll get out of this program exactly what you
put into it.

TRAINING OVERVIEW
TRAINING OVERVIEW
The truth is, the best program is the one that you commit to. Project Resolution
focuses on simple, time-tested exercises, set and rep schemes, and workout splits.
You will train 5 days a week, with rest days on the weekend. Here’s what the training
split looks like.
We call weekends “active rest” because you should still move on these days.
Walking for example, should always be a part of your day. However, your body needs
rest from challenging weight training. In addition to off-days, remember that fat
loss occurs while we sleep. Every night we need quality sleep. In order to achieve
optimal sleep, aim to get at least 7 hours of rest, limit blue light exposure (cell
phones, computer, and television use to 1 hour before bed and turn lights down to
help your body naturally relax before turning in for the night.
5
TRAINING OVERVIEW
The workouts vary from week to week, but they’re all built around proven exercises
designed to target multiple muscles and train multiple joints at once. We call these
“compound” movements, and there’s no substitute for them.
For most of the exercises, you’ll perform 3-4 sets and 10-15 reps of each exercise.
This rep range has been shown to initiate muscle growth, also known as hypertrophy.
Hypertrophy will cause muscle damage that forces the body to expend more resources
to recover, and burn more fat as a result.
This training program will show you the effort and focus it takes to expand the limits
of what you think is possible. At the end of the 7 weeks, you will have transformed
your body and your mind.

NUTRITION OVERVIEW
NUTRITION OVERVIEW
For this program, you’ll follow a high-frequency eating pattern with 4 whole meals and 2 protein
shakes per day. While there are a few moving parts with this program, we have broken it down
into 3 core components:
MACROS
Your macronutrient and calorie targets depend on your lean body weight. By getting these
numbers right, you will be on the path to dramatic fat loss results over the next 7 weeks.
Take your fasted weight (your weight in the morning) and subtract your body fat percentage.
Measure body fat with a machine or calipers. If those are not available, you can look
at images on-line with accurate body fat percentages and compare your own physique.
For example, if you are approximately 20% body fat and weight is 180lbs, your lean body
mass is 144lbs. That’s the number you’ll use to calculate your macros. As your body weight
drops throughout the program, recalculate your macros. Monday morning hop on the scale
and record your weight. If your weight has changed, recalculate your macros.
7
NUTRITION OVERVIEW
SOURCES
While the amount of each macronutrient is essential, the sources are equally important. You need to get your meals from high-quality sources.
We don’t want to completely hold your hand and tell you exactly what to eat, because then, when the program’s over, it will be much harder to maintain
your newfound healthy, balanced eating lifestyle.
8
NUTRITION OVERVIEW
Instead of specific meal plans, create your meals from the selected list of approved foods.
This gives you flexibility within structure. Every main meal should include a lean protein
source, a complex carbohydrate, healthy fats, and plenty of fibrous vegetables. Vegetables
don’t count toward your macronutrients, but they’re essential for supporting your digestion,
vitality, and performance. Personally, I love salads so stock up.
Lastly, let’s talk about dessert. You can eat things like cake, cookies, and chocolate…
if you want to always look and feel the same as you do now. You have to exercise discipline.
No dessert, period. I don’t say that to torture you, I say that to help you. Dessert brings a
moment of gratification but moves you further away from your goal. For the next 7 weeks
test your resolve. Commit to sticking to your commitment.
You can choose from the lists below to build your own diet. This gives you variation and
flexibility while teaching you how to adapt your nutrition. Too many people get so fixed to
1 type of meal at a specific time of day that they panic when they deviate, even if the
alternatives are entirely appropriate.

NUTRITION OVERVIEW

NUTRITION OVERVIEW
TIMING
The last crucial component of the Nutrition Program covers the timing and frequency of
your meals. In total, you will consume 4 whole meals and 2 shake-based meals per day.
On average, you’ll be eating every 3 hours. This means you’ll eat breakfast, lunch, dinner,
and a meal before bed.
This eating schedule will ensure you get a consistent flood of nutrients to your muscles.
This will stabilize your energy levels and help you perform your best during your workouts.
Right after training, you’ll have 1 serving or Re-Kaged, our post-workout recovery drink.
For 1 of your meals during the day, you’ll have 1 serving of Clean Meal, our easy-digesting
meal replacement shake.
Getting Started
The best nutrition programs are all founded on simple, proven principles. Hit your macros,
get them from high-quality sources, and eat at the right times.

Can I add cardio to this program? Can I eat foods I don’t see on the approved list?
Yes, be mindful of how much cardio you do on top of the intense If you want to eat the foods that aren’t on our approved list, use your
training sessions. If you add a more cardio to your sessions and you feel judgment. However, as a good rule of thumb, if you’re not sure if you can

Why are there often the same exercises from week to week?
Changing exercises from week to week is more likely to flatten your
progression curve. Keeping the exercises consistent ensures both
progression and mastery. The basics are the basics for a reason: they
work.
