TO BE
CAPTAIN
IS NO
EASY TASK.
It’s not about how much talent or skill you have —
it’s about how hard you’re willing to work. A captain
leads by example, treats others with respect and
expects nothing in return. A captain demands the
absolute best because a captain never settles.
Never makes excuses. Never cuts corners. Never
asks, “Why me?” To be captain means to be tough.
To be disciplined. To be confident. A captain does
not fear failure, but learns, grows and comes back
stronger because of it. A captain shows up early
and stays late. A captain sees every obstacle as a
new opportunity. A captain makes decisions based
on purpose and intent. A captain rises by
lifting others.

ATHLETICS
HAVE BEEN THE
BIGGEST PART OF
MY LIFE SINCE I
CAN REMEMBER.
I grew up playing soccer, basketball and track. I even-
tually went on to compete as a Division 1 hurdler and
heptathlete for the University of Oregon. I worked hard
to earn a Captain position on my teams. I strived to be
a positive example and a strong leader — always.
Letting my teammates down was never an option for
me, and I will continue to carry that mentality with me
for the rest of my life. After my collegiate athletic ca-
reer ended due to a disappointing experience & de-
veloping an eating disorder, I soon discovered that
my true passion was not for competing in sports, but
for helping others gain their confidence and self-love
back after losing it, like I had lost mine.

I SEE YOU AS MY
TEAMMATE.
WE’RE IN THIS BIG, SCARY, EXCITING
GAME OF LIFE TOGETHER & I WANT US
ALL TO WIN! The challenge is not the ache in your
lungs or the burning in your legs, it’s the voice in your
head telling you, “I can’t.” I have taught myself to
ignore my thoughts and to drown out all the doubt.
To push harder and to remember why I started on this
journey. My mission is to help that little voice in your
head fade away, too. For you to whisper to yourself
when you are in pain and about to give up,

“I CAN.”
This is the moment that you will discover that the
person you thought you were is no match for the
person you are now, and not even close to the person
you are about to become! If there is one thing more
fulfilling to me than reaching a personal goal, it’s
helping someone else reach one of their own. I want
to help you! I created this Guide to share with you the
tools and skills you can use to create your dream body
and most importantly, to become the best possible
version of yourself. You deserve it!

THE GUIDE
AB -
OUT

Home Body Guide was designed for the


homebody in mind. It’s also ideal for when you’re
on the road, when you don’t have access to a gym or
when you simply don’t have time (or want) to go. Luckily,
you always have your body, so you always have a way to
train. Getting fit doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple
bodyweight exercises can be a great choice for
achieving gains in strength, flexibility, boosting
cardiovascular fitness, burning fat & overall health.
13
HOME BODY
THE GUIDE
Despite what you might think, I do not spend hours on
end ‘pumping iron’ or subject myself to long durations
of cardio. Some of the best (or worst, depending on how
you look at it) workouts I’ve done have required
nothing more than my bodyweight. Regardless of your
age, your gender, if you consider yourself an elite athlete,
or if you’re brand new to fitness, this Home Body
training program will benefit you.

Lucky for you, you already have a capable body & a


training plan taken care of. Now, it’s time to put in
the work, lace up your shoes (or not, if you don’t
allow them inside), and commit to the next 8-weeks!

BREAK-
DOWN
Home Body is 8-weeks long,
but it can be repeated as many times as desired.
Every other week you will repeat the same workouts,
so that you can track your progress. So, weeks 1 and 3
will be the same, weeks 2 and 4 will be the same, weeks
5 and 7 will be the same and weeks 6 and 8 will be the
same.

Try your best to increase your intensity &


improve your scores the second time around.
14
HOME BODY
THE GUIDE
HIIT HIGH INTENSITY
INTERVAL TRAINING
High Intensity Interval Training is a form of anaerobic, fast-paced
exercise that has been proven to burn through calories in a short
amount of time and keep you burning calories long after you’ve
finished the workout. HIIT gets your heart rate close to its max &
then lets you rest briefly before you do it all again. HIIT should be
intense, but pushing too hard too fast can result in injuries & other
setbacks. It is important to listen to your body, modify as needed
& complete each movement with proper form.

HIIT is a great way to get stronger, faster, build endurance,


burn more calories (even while you sleep) & improve your
overall physical performance. It’s also great for boosting your
metabolism, fat burning, & increasing cardiovascular endurance.

LISS
LOW-INTENSITY
STEADY STATE
TRAINING
LISS stands for Low-Intensity Steady State training. Opposed to
HIIT being a form of anaerobic exercise, LIIS is a form of aerobic
exercise. Going for a jog, walk, swim, or hike are all great examples
of LISS exercise because they require low intensity for an extended
period of time. A LISS workout should be low impact and not
over-taxing on the body.
LISS is great for increased energy, better blood flow, a stronger
heart, overall cardiovascular health, & burning calories.
However, due to the principle of adaptation, the body can quickly
become more aerobically efficient, so only doing LISS training can
eventually become counterproductive to your goals, especially if
one of your goals is long-term fat loss & maintenance.

15
HOME BODY
THE GUIDE
HIIT
LISS &
To keep up with the body’s quick aerobic adaptation
process, a person would need to continually run for
longer & longer distances and durations just to burn the
same amount of calories they did when they first started.
That’s why having a balance of both types of cardio is
so vital. It keeps the body guessing, and it helps
prevent cardio plateau.

COMBINATION OF BOTH

HIIT & LISS

CLEAN
UP YOUR
NUTRITION
I always say,
abs are sculpted in the gym,
but revealed in the kitchen.
If you are serious about getting the best results from
this training Guide, your nutrition needs to be just as
much of a priority, if not more!

I have struggled with my relationship with food in the


past. I know that I am not alone. After many ups and
downs, including overcoming an eating disorder, I can
finally say that food is my friend again. I learned how
to eat intuitively, and I eliminated restrictive and boring
eating. I turned everything I practice with nutrition
into my Fuel Guide that I HIGHLY recommend to you!

In an ideal world, no one would need dietary
supplements. Our balanced diets would provide
all the macro and micro nutrients our bodies need
to survive and thrive. However, we are not perfect
and taking supplements can provide additional and
essential nutrients that can help us achieve our
health and fitness goals more efficiently and easily.

Below are the 5 products


that I, along with all of my

POST WORKOUT STACK
Proper post workout nutrition is the MOST
IMPORTANT window in your training!
If you want to see the best results from your training, I high-
ly recommend 1st Phorm’s Post Workout Stack, which includes
both Phormula-1 (protein) & Ignition (glucose). Ignition will
rapidly replenish your glycogen levels, which equates to muscle
energy. At the same time, Phormula-1 is a rapid assimilation
protein isolate, which means it will absorb into your muscles
quickly and begin to repair them fast! By taking these two
products after you workout, you will feel less sore and have an
easier time building lean muscle - which can help you burn more
fat. Added bonus, they taste incredible!

LEVEL-1 PROTEIN
This is a meal replacement protein, not to be confused
with the Phormula-1 post workout protein, shown pre-
viously. One of the biggest mistakes that my clients
make is not eating frequently enough or consuming
enough protein. Did you know that protein can help
you burn fat?! This is because protein promotes lean
muscle. The more lean muscle you have, the more cal-
ories your body burns. The more calories your body
burns, the more fat you can shed. When I increased
my protein intake, I saw incredible improvements in
my physique! I was gaining lean muscle and shedding
stubborn fat. For strict dieters, eating more can be a
huge struggle. Or, if you’re like me, you might not al-
ways have enough time to cook a meal or just don’t
feel like it. Protein also keeps you fuller for longer. This
is crucial in weight loss because you won’t let overeat-
ing sabotage your success. Whether your goal is to
lose fat or to build lean & toned muscle, you will ben-
efit from Level-1. This is the same protein I use in my
mug cakes, coffee, shakes, ice cream, pancakes,
waffles & MORE! Below is one of my favorite guilt free
Level-1 protein desserts!

TIP 03:
MEASURE
YOUR
SUCCESS
DITCH THE SCALE!
Your weight can fluctuate drastically over the
course of a 24-48 hour period. Depending on what
you ate, how much water you drank, if your food
contained sodium, what time of day you weighed
yourself, your weight may change. You may also find
that the scale went up because you gained some
muscle. This is called body recomp (which is especially
common when you’re a beginner to weight training). You
must keep in mind that muscle outweighs fat. Muscle
is approximately 18% more dense than fat.
Tracking weekly measurements will keep you in check
& allow you to not focus as much on the scale. While
your weight may fluctuate, your waist, hips, & other
measurements may be decreasing.

28
HOME BODY
TIPS
TIP 04:
MEASURE YOUR SUCCESS

TAKE PROGRESS PHOTOS


PROGRESS PHOTOS ARE AN EXCELLENT WAY
TO TRACK YOUR PROGRESS. Whether you want to
lose fat or gain muscle, those selfies will help you stay
on track & keep you motivated, even when you think
nothing is changing. You don’t have to show anyone!
They can simply serve as a visual timeline of your
body’s gradual transformation & hopefully help you
stay dedicated for the long haul. One day you might
even surprise yourself & your “after” photos will
become your “before” photos!

29
HOME BODY
TIPS
TIP 04:
MEASURE YOUR SUCCESS

MAKE IT A ROUTINE

It is important to take your progress photos at the


same time/day every week. You should also take them
on an empty stomach & in bright lighting. I take mine
right when I wake up every Wednesday morning. Set
an alarm on your phone or leave a sticky note on the
mirror to help you remember. Don’t have anyone to
take them for you? Prop your phone up and set a
timer or take a video and screenshot some pictures.
Be sure to capture front, side and back images.

I would LOVE to see your progress


photos if you are willing to show off the
hard work you put into my Guides.
Please email them to me! Depending on what
you are comfortable with, I can either keep them
private or feature your amazing results for everyone
to see and feel inspired by.

TIP 04:
SET YOUR GOAL
& COMMIT TO IT!

8 weeks might not


seem like a long time,
but I assure you that
A LOT can change in
the next 56 days.
You’ve already made the decision to purchase this
Guide, which shows that you are ready to get better.
It’s important to be conscious of each decision
moving forward that will either push you closer or
pull you further away from your goal. What matters
most are the little things that you do consistently
and practice each and every day. These healthy
habits are what eventually lead to sustainable
change and amazing results.

TIPS
TIP 04:
SET YOUR GOAL AND COMMIT TO IT!

What are you hoping to accomplish from the time


you start this Guide to the time you finish it?
In order to set achievable goals, you need to have a clear
outcome in mind. What is the exact goal you desire? To
lose fat? To gain muscle? To become more confident?

Once you identify your goal, you must then


identify your purpose. WHY do you want to achieve
this goal? What will it bring you? In order to achieve
this goal, you need to ask the right questions and
seek real change in your life. If you know what you’re
moving toward, you’ll find ways to make it happen.
Reasons come first, then the answers.

Next, write it down! The physical act of writing


down a goal makes it real and tangible. You have no
excuse for forgetting about it. As you write, use the
word “WILL” instead of “would like to” or “might.”


For example,

I WILL BE ABLE TO COMPLETE


10 CONSECUTIVE STRICT
PUSH-UPS BY THE TIME I
COMPLETE THIS GUIDE.

32
HOME BODY
TIPS
TIP 04:
SET YOUR GOAL AND COMMIT TO IT!

Now, it’s time to make a game plan and write


out the individual steps you need to take to
accomplish your goal. When crossing each step off
as it’s completed, you’ll realize that you are making
progress towards it. Post your goal in visible places to
remind yourself every day of what it is you intend to
do. Write it on a sticky note and place it on your
computer, bathroom mirror or your refrigerator as a
constant reminder of what you WILL achieve.
I personally love to choose a word or a picture that
represents my goal and make it the wallpaper on my
cell phone, so that I look at it multiple times a day.

Whatever your goal may be, remember that you are


powerful beyond measure and that you are capable of
achieving just about anything you are willing to work
for. It might be tough, but so are you! Step into Day 1
of this Guide with purpose and with passion.
There is no more room for excuses!

NOW, GO CHASE THAT


GOAL AND DON’T FORGET
TO ENJOY THE RIDE!

It is so tempting to
jump right into your
workout to maximize
the time you’ve got.
However, when you skip a warm-up and go from
0 to 60, you’re setting your body up to be less
efficient and you could potentially end up with an
injury.

,Before beginning each workout in this


Guide, complete at least 5-10 minutes of
light cardio.
You should be able to easily carry a conversation at
this pace. Jog or power walk outside or pick a piece of
cardio equipment (treadmill, rower, bike, elliptical, etc)
and get a little sweat on!

Before you rush off to the shower and to

extra minutes to cool down.

It is very important to bring your heart rate down


and to return your body to the homeostatic state it
was at prior to the workout. This can prompt the
recovery response to help with healing the stressed
muscle fibers, tendons, ligaments, joints, and
central nervous system.
