ABOUT THE
AUTHORS
KARINA IRBY
Co-Founder of Bikini Body Burn
& Owner of Moana Bikini
I started Moana Bikini in 2011.
Over the past six years, Moana has
become more than just a bikini label;
it has become a lifestyle. Moana
babes are fit, confident, energised
and, above all else, in love with life
and comfortable in their own skin.

As Moana grew, customers became


curious about how to get the bikini
body they were after; they wanted
to be the best version of themselves
they could be, so they came to me
for advice.

However, while on the outside I might


have looked okay, inside I lacked
energy and I struggled with my diet. I
felt a lot of pressure to look a certain
way and I thought that eating less
and doing a lot of cardio exercise
was the way to get that perfect bikini
body. I was afraid of resistance
training in case it made me look too
bulky.

I was also confused about what to


eat; but how could I not be with so
many fad diets and pills around!?
All of this made me feel like I wasn’t
knowledgeable enough or ready to
pass on advice to these avid Moana
babes; to you!

In my time, I have seen health and fitness
fads come and go, causing so much
confusion among my clients. There really
is so much misinformation circulating;
resistance training will make you bulky,

AN
OVERVIEW
OF THE
BANDBOOK
The Bandbook has been
designed especially for our
BBB family as an extension
of our existing 12 Week
Guide. Rather than create
just another 12 weeks of
workouts, The Bandbook
has been designed for you
to carry on working out
for months, or years if you
like, with the flexibility and
diversity of your workouts
being entirely up to you!

The Bandbook is your


one stop workout shop. It
contains 60 workouts that
you can do anywhere,
anytime, using just your
body weight and our Bikini
Body Burn resistance
bands. You can do one
Bandbook workout a
week, in between your
existing training and fitness
calendar, or you can create
an entire Bandbook workout
plan and do five Bandbook
workouts a week; it is
entirely up to you!

© Bikini Body Burn Pty Ltd 2016 THE BANDBOOK | 13


What does The Bandbook contain?

1. Sixty workouts that will take 30


minutes to complete.

2. A formula for you to design a workout


program to meet your personal goal.

3. A comprehensive exercise dictionary


that outlines, step-by-step, how to do
each exercise in the workouts.

4. Tips on how to increase or decrease


the difficulty of an exercise (where
possible), including where you could
use weights if you would like to
incorporate weight training.

5. A fitness test to track your


cardiovascular and strength progress.

6. Suggestions on how to track your


physical progress (for those girls who
would like to change their body).

Who can complete the workouts?


Any babe, except babes that are pregnant.
Sorry lovelies, but if you’re pregnant then

A love note to our
post-pregnancy babes
Congratulations! We hope you have
a new found appreciation for how
amazing your body is!

But, pretty please yummy mummy,


DO NOT do any of the workouts
within this Bandbook
until you have doctor’s clearance.

During pregnancy your body releases


a hormone that causes your muscles
to soften in preparation for child birth.
It can take a number of weeks post
birth for your body to return to its pre-
baby hormone levels, which is why it
is so important to reintroduce exercise
slowly, only after your doctor has given
clearance.

Once you have your doctor’s clearance


to exercise, we recommend that you
start working out in the same way that
we recommend beginners start. Even if
you worked out during your pregnancy,
it is really important that you reintroduce
exercise again slowly and gently at first.
So read our notes to beginners on page
15, do the fitness test and move forward
from there.

Always remember to listen to your body,


if something doesn’t feel right, stop and
seek the advice of a health professional.

How to use the resistance bands
We have spent months designing the Bikini Body Burn resistance bands to ensure that
you get the most out of the exercises that use them. They are your new best friends!
The pink band is the fairer of the two; it has naturally less resistance than the purple band.
Some of the exercises will use the pink band, others will use the purple band. Look for the
coloured band under the exercise within the workouts, it will tell you which band to use.

There are five different ways that you will use your bands:

Tied off standing on top


Loop the band around

with your hands.

double looped
Loop the band on
top of itself so that
it is half the length/
circumference that it
is un-looped.

© Bikini Body Burn Pty Ltd 2016 THE BANDBOOK | 17


How to increase resistance
The best part of your new bands is that
they can be VERY effective when you use
them to their full resistance. Which is why
they are your new best friends; if you use
them to their full capacity, you will receive
the full advantage!

But that’s in your hands… if you lower the


resistance so that the band is loose, you
won’t get the most out of the exercise.

The tighter the band, the greater the


resistance, and the greater the result! So
increase the resistance and work hard, it’s
for your own good, we promise!

To increase the resistance:

a. When the band is tied off, stand further


away from the band until the band is
really straining against your hand

b. When the band is hooked, stand further


away from the band until the band is
really straining against your hands

c. When the band is double looped, stand


with your feet further apart until the pull
is so great that it feels like your legs are
being pulled towards one another

d. When you’re standing on top of the


band, hold the band closer towards
your feet so that is it quite difficult to pull
up into a standing position

e. When the band is hooked over your


thumbs, loop the band over your hands
to increase the pull on the band.

Strength WORKOUTS
The strength workouts have been designed
to build lean muscle using exercises that
incorporate resistance training.

Resistance training (or ‘strength’ training)


is completing exercises that use resistance
to make your muscles contract; building
strength. Resistance training can be
completed using weights, body weight (e.g.
squats) or by creating resistance with our
bands.

The Bandbook strength workouts


incorporate body weight exercises and
resistance band exercises, which can be
just as effective as lifting weights!

Why is resistance training important?


Without strength training you cannot change
the shape of your body. Strength training
will build muscle. Through the process of
building small amounts of muscle, you will
increase your metabolism. Increasing your
metabolism will increase your body’s ability
to burn fat while you are resting. When you
have muscle, you will burn fat while you sit
on the couch!

How will I know which resistance


band to use?
The exercises that require a resistance
band will have a picture of the band
under the number of reps, look for the
colour used in the picture and then use
that coloured band.

© Bikini Body Burn Pty Ltd 2016 THE BANDBOOK | 22


What is tempo?
Tempo is the time that you take to do
a full repetition, or rep. It is particularly
relevant with resistance training, which
is why we have included a suggested
tempo for each strength workout.

Being conscious of your tempo is so


important! In order to effectively build
muscle, you need to focus on the time
that a muscle is under tension rather
than just rushing through an exercise.
Also, if you pause to think about your
rep, you are far more likely to complete
the exercise properly which will
minimise the chance of injury.

Most of the exercises contained within


the strength workouts can be done with
a tempo. But there are some exercises
where there isn’t a tempo, for example:
a wall sit, broad jumps, a glute bridge,
plank etc., use your discretion to apply
the tempo where you can.

The tempo for each workout level of


difficulty is explained below:

level Tempo effort

Easy 1-1-1 e.g. for a Squat


1 - take 1 second to squat down
1 - hold the Squat for 1 second
1 - take 1 second to rise back up through your feet

Intermediate 2-1-2 e.g. for a Push Up


2 - take 2 seconds to lower your body towards the floor
1 - hold the Push Up for 1 second
2 - take 2 seconds to lift your torso back up

hard 2-1-3 e.g. for a Glute Raise


2 - take 2 seconds to lift your hips up off the ground
1 - hold the Glute Raise for 1 second
3 - take 3 seconds to lower your hips back to the ground

© Bikini Body Burn Pty Ltd 2016 THE BANDBOOK | 23


How to do the
workouts
Circuit training is the most effective way
to train and get the most out of your
workouts.

Each of the Bandbook workouts contains


one to six circuits. A circuit is where you
repeat the same exercise at least three
times in a workout.

The workouts that only have one circuit


will have a lot of exercises in it, whereas
the workouts that have four to six circuits
will have a small amount of exercises
and take a shorter amount of time to
complete.

How do I complete a circuit?


There are three different types of circuits:

1. “x 3”
The most popular type of Bandbook
circuit, complete the exercises in the
circuit from start to finish for the number
of times specified, e.g. 3 times, which
we refer to as rounds.

If there is a rest built into the circuit,


rest for the amount of time specified
between rounds. If there isn’t a rest built
into the circuit, do your best to continue
to exercise without resting between
rounds.

Once you have completed the specified


number of rounds, rest for the amount
of time specified in the clock before
moving onto the next circuit.

© Bikini Body Burn Pty Ltd 2016 THE BANDBOOK | 24


2. “x 6 MIN AMRAP”
An acronym for ‘As Many Rounds As
Possible’, complete the exercises in
order as many times through as you
can for the time specified (i.e. 6 or 14
minutes).

For the 6 minute AMRAP circuits, try


your best to continue exercising for
the whole 6 minutes without stopping.
For the 14 minute AMRAP circuits, try
your best to push yourself but rest if
you need to. The harder you go; the
more calories you will burn!

Once the specified time has passed,


rest for the amount of time specified in
the clock before moving onto the next
circuit. During the rest, have a drink of
water and focus on your breathing to
lower your heart rate.

3. “EMOM x 3”
An acronym for ‘Every Minute On the
Minute’, set a timer and complete the
exercises in the circuit on the minute
every minute for the number of times b. When the timer gets to 60 seconds,
specified, e.g. 3 times, which we refer complete 20 Side to Sides, if

weight. Why? Because resistance
training generally causes you to lose
fat and gain muscle. If you are slim to
start with, you may put on more weight
in muscle than you will lose in fat, and
could therefore weigh more in a few
months’ time than you do now, but,
in turn, you’ll actually be way fitter,
healthier and happier. Thus weighing
yourself isn’t a good measure of fitness,
unless losing weight is your specific
goal.

We strongly recommend avoiding all


methods of tracking your progress
during ‘that time’ of the month. Most
girls put on weight during that period
(ahm, pun totally intended!) and can
bloat, which can distort measurements.

What is a good result in the
fitness test?
Every babe will have different
strengths and weaknesses.
Some babes can run for miles,
but aren’t too great at strength
training. Some babes live for
squats, but hate the thought of
burpees.

The moral of the story is that


there is no hard rule as to what
a good result is or isn’t. The
measure that you should use
is yourself; if you can see an
improvement, fantastic! If not,
then it’s time to be honest with
yourself and ask if you have
been giving 100% in your
workouts.

If you would like a very loose


measure of where you might be
sitting against other babes, use
the below table. Remember to
redo the test in another 6 to 8
weeks!
