A 12 Week Plan

Besides the great recipes, another important part of this book is the 12-week fat-loss training plan. Designed at Ultimate Performance gyms, this plan is split into three different training phases of four weeks each. Being each week composed of four workout sessions – two HIT workouts (High-Intensity Interval Training) and two weights workouts.

An interesting aspect of this plan is that regardless of the stage you are in, you will always have two training options: one gym-based and one home-based. This is great because it gives you the ability to mix things up a bit, which is perfect for not making excuses for not training.

One of the reasons that make this plan so special is that it was designed to target the “problematic areas” of women’s bodies. For women, these tend to be glutes, upper thighs, and triceps. Typically these are the first places where they gain weight and the last places they lose it from. For this reason, many of the exercises in this plan specially target those areas as they’ll need more work.
