If you watch my daily vlogs you already know Elvis (my boyfriend) and I are starting another 12 weeks of no cheats. We did this about 1 month ago, we focused 100% on our diet to help reach our fitness goals.
That first round was very successful, we both dropped a lot of body fat and learned a lot about self-discipline. Recently we started having treat meals once a week and sometimes it spreads into 2x/wk. We noticed we don’t really like how we feel after those treat meals and to kick our butt back into gear we decided to do another round of 12 weeks.
Though the focus is on our diet, training is also very important. Thus, I mentioned in my vlog that I would share with you the exercise schedule I have designed for myself to coincide with my meal plan. So here it is (See Below).
I have broken my training into a 6 day split with one rest day. If you don’t know what the exercises listed below are or what a superset is I recommend reading this post.
