THE 411
ON THE GUIDE
As you flip through these pages, you’ll find all the
essential tools you need to keep you motivated and
focused during your FitazFK journey.
FYI - be sure to print out the pages marked with a
icon in the top right hand corner. You’ll need
these tools to stay on track.

The guide is broken up into three key phases:


Cleanse, Conditioning and Re-establishment.

Each phase includes a training schedule and a


nutritional breakdown specifically tailored around
each day’s workouts. This will let you easily track your
progress for the next month and make sure you’re
taking in as much energy as you need to perform your
best on a daily basis. So no fking excuses!

PHASE ONE

CLEANSE
2 WEEKS

PHASE TWO

CONDITIONING
4 WEEKS
PHASE THREE

RE-ESTABLISHMENT
2 WEEKS 7
PHASE 1 CLEANSE

The aim of Phase 1 is to flush out all the nasty toxins from your system and simultaneously begin to

prepare your body for the challenging exercises to come. Cleanses enhance your body’s natural ability

to clean out your liver and kidneys. When your liver and kidneys are functioning properly, they will burn

fat more effectively. We warn you though, these first two weeks might be a struggle as some of your

favourite foods are OFF LIMITS. #saycheese.

You will spend the majority of the 8 weeks in Phase 2 aka

Conditioning. Quick reminder: conditioning is basically the

process of getting your body used to doing exercises.

PHASE 2
But conditioning your body to burn fat involves more than just the right kind of training

schedule. Your food choices matter too because that’s what will give you the energy to

do those 5000 squats. (Just kidding, it’s more like 500). That’s the reason we have paired

each day’s training schedule with a corresponding food guide. Yes, there’s a method to our

madness. We want to make sure you’re getting the right balance of energy and nutrients
CONDITIONING
to keep up. As each day passes, you will notice that your sessions will become harder and

your energy intake will increase. It’s all part of our master plan, because it is during this

phase that you will start to see your best results.

PHASE 3
You’re almost there! This two-week phase combines intense training with a

balanced, maintainable nutrition plan. The goal here is to ease you back into

everyday life, but with the added bonus of a hot new bod. For maximum results,

RE-ESTABLISHMENT you’ll have to enter each training session with 100% dedication - it’s only 28

minutes, babe! And because we believe in a balanced life, we now give you

some freedom when it comes to your food choices #hellocheese. Just be sure

to keep your goals at the forefront of your mind so you don’t get off track.

dramatically. You’ll notice things like a loss in body

PROTEINS
If it was good enough for the Flintstones, it’s good enough
for you. Protein is essential for muscle development and
connective tissue. But more importantly, protein provides
fundamental roles in enzyme and hormone control. Proteins
are made of smaller units called amino acids, eight of which
are referred to as essential to our bodily function. How come?
Well, while they’re crucial to making our bodies function, we
can’t actually make them ourselves. This means we have to
get them through our diet. Think foods that are rich sources
of protein like eggs, chicken, beef, lamb, fish, dairy, soy,
legumes and nuts.

FATS
Before you freak out and think we’ve been abducted by some
fat-loving aliens, hear us out. Fats provide a useful energy
source to keep you going throughout the day. But, there
are good fats and bad fats. Let’s start with the good - the
unsaturated fats. These guys have been found to reduce the
risk of heart disease and help lower cholesterol. Good fats are
high in omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish and flax seeds,
as well as monounsaturated fats found in nuts, avocado and
olives. Now the bad guys. There are two types of fat that should
be eaten sparingly: saturated and trans fatty acids. Bad Boys
what you gonna do? Glad you asked. Saturated and trans fats
raise cholesterol levels, clog arteries and increase the risk of
heart disease. So it’s best to avoid them as much as you can!

CARBS
Repeat after us: Carbs are not the enemy. In your quest to
“be less fat” keep in mind that carbohydrates are actually one of
the most essential foods aiding healthy bodily functions, including
weight loss!

Carbohydrates provide an important source of fuel for your body,


especially when you’re working out on the daily. Our brains
need them to function and our muscles need them for energy.
Spending too much time in a carb depleted state can leave you
feeling drained and lethargic #aintnobodygottimeforthat!

So while they generally have a bad reputation, plenty of carbs are


good for you. Carbs with a low glycemic index (GI) are digested
more slowly, which means there’s less of a spike in blood sugars,
and energy is released more slowly and more steadily. Most
importantly, carbs are essential for ensuring you have enough
energy to work up a sweat and absorb protein. That’s right,
protein without carbs is pointless. Some examples of “good”
carbs include fresh fruit, whole grains, low fat dairy products, 17

legumes and lentils.


LET’S MAKE IT EASIER
To help you recognise them better,
here are five of our favourite sources of carbs:

CARBS HOW THEY HELP

CARB PHOTO SHUTTERSTOCK


Rolled oats Assist digestion

Brown rice Promote fullness

Sweet potato Assist with weight loss

Quinoa Great for your heart

Legumes Improve mood & brain function

All carbs are not created equal. The glycemic index


ranks carbohydrates according to their effect on
blood sugar levels. High levels of GI can be toxic to
your body, causing kidney failure, and heart disease
in worst cases. The lower the GI of the carbohydrate,
the more slowly it releases energy at a steady pace,
which can keep you fuller for longer.

FIBRE
Fibre can be our best friend when we’re ahem constipated
ahem. But did you know that dietary fibre is the indigestible
component of carbohydrates? What the fk does that mean
and why should you care? It means that dietary fibre
doesn’t actually provide a source of energy. Rather, it
helps keep you pooping regularly (Someone had to say it).
It also helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
and bowel cancer, as it keeps your digestion on track.
Foods such as whole grains, the outer skins of fruit and
vegetables, nuts and seeds, lentils and legumes are all rich
in fibre.

18
If you want to give yourself the best chance to
succeed in your fitness journey, you need to
improve your metabolic rate and consume more
nutritious calories. By eating controlled, nutritious
meals at planned intervals during the day, you’ll
curb cravings and resist temptation from the 3

THE IMPORTANCE OF
FOOD JOURNALLING
Writing your crush’s name X amount of times in your diary was fun in high
school. Think of your food journal as a grown-up’s version of that - with your
crush being healthy food! Studies have shown that keeping a journal of
everything you eat (yes, even that cheeky chocolate bar) is the best way to
hold yourself accountable for what goes in your mouth. Between working,
studying, exercising, having some form of a social life and everything in
between, it’s easy to forget about that flat white you had in the morning. So,
print the food journal on the following page for every week of your FitazFK
journey and you’ll leave very little room for error!

MARIKA’S GUIDE TO KEEPING A FOOD DIARY


To have a food journal, or not have a food journal? That is the question.
For most people, keeping track of the foods they eat is a great way of
understanding when they eat and how much they eat. Many people aren’t
aware of how much food they consume until they see it in writing. Keeping
a food journal can also help when you’re making decisions around food; the
thought of writing down a whole bar of chocolate may actually stop you from
doing the deed. If a food journal is your new best friend, make sure you’re
honest and write down everything you eat - good or bad!

WATER INTAKE
CAN HELP BODY FAT LOSS
Water, water everywhere. In fact, H2O makes up about
60% of your body weight, making it like the most necessary
thing ever to your body’s running system. Failing to keep
sufficiently hydrated takes a massive toll on your body and
can lead to dehydration. In fact, even mild dehydration can
drain your energy levels, stopping you from performing
your best in and out of the gym.

Dehydration frequently causes fatigue and loss in


concentration. And do you know what that means? You’ll be
reaching for the naughty-cupboard in no time. Sometimes
when your body is “craving” sugar, it’s actually craving
water – so don’t mix it up! Staying hydrated will also help
you feel fuller between meals.

If you find it hard to keep on top of your H2O, try these handy tricks:
WHAT WATER DOES TO YOU:

OUR TOP TIPS FOR STAYING MOTIVATED


Rise to the occasion, literally. If you work out first thing
in the morning you’re less likely to use your long day at
work as an excuse.

Bribes aren’t just for kids. Whatever it is that will motivate


you to sweat it out for 28 minutes, use that as your
motivation! Tell yourself you can’t watch that Game
of Thrones episode or have that espresso martini this
weekend if you don’t put in the work first.

Buying a new dress is always motivation to hit the town.


Likewise, investing in a killer gym outfit will get you to
the gym quick-smart! And you don’t have to wait until
Saturday night to upload a selfie either!

Two’s company! Get one of your besties on board and


you’ll be keeping each other accountable the whole way
through! Otherwise, your furry friend can literally be a
man’s best friend (and the best walking companion).

Keep a fresh playlist! We know from experience that an


out of date playlist is the easiest way to lose your oomph.

WE ARE HERE
FOR GOOD!
Our primary goal is to set you up for a long-term
lifestyle change that you can maintain throughout
all stages of your life. Using Fitaz in 28 Days as a
foundation, the FitazFK in 8 Weeks guide will prepare,
condition and teach you the way to keep up a healthy,
balanced lifestyle. After completing it you can expect:

An improvement in cardiac output (aka. the amount of


blood the heart pumps in one minute) and endurance

An increase in muscular strength

Greater functional ability and mobility

Improved balance

An increase in your metabolism

A positive, stable relationship with health and fitness!


31
H.I.T
To be performed 2 times per week on your ‘off’ days
from E.M.O.M. High intensity training or H.I.T training
is typically known as short bursts of intense effort
followed by a recovery phase. There are two phases
to this training: a work phase and a rest phase. It is
important to become breathless! After your intense
phase, recover and go again!

EXAMPLE: Running up a hill for 10 seconds then


recovering by walking down the hill for 30 seconds.
This type of training is an effective way to increase
your metabolism. This means you are burning fat even
when you are not training, by using energy to recover
from the intensity of the workout.

L.S.D L.S.D stands for long slow distance. This is where you maintain the
same level, intensity or heart rate for an extended period of time.
i.e. 30 to 45mins. During FitazFK in 8 Weeks you will use this style
of training to allow your body to recover, while also aiming to burn
calories i.e. fat while performing the exercise. A walk, jog or cycle at a
steady maintainable pace is a great way of doing your L.S.D session.

Focus on keeping a H.R of 65-76% of your maximum heart rate (H.R).


You can calculate your max heart rate by using the equation: 220 -
your age. e.g. If you are 22 years old your max heart rate would be
220-22=198. Therefore, your desired heart rate during your L.S.D
session would be between 128 to 146 beats per minute.

A simpler way to work out how hard you should be training is by your
perceived exertion. For this, try to work at a rate of 6 to 7 out of 10.
We strongly advise doing your L.S.D sessions in a fasted state. That
is, first thing in the morning before you have eaten anything. This will
allow your body to burn your excess body fat more quickly.

L.S.D Sessions
Beginner = Once per week
Intermediate = Twice per week
Advanced = Three times per week

This is a highly important part of the program and must not be taken
lightly. The reason we have left you to choose when to do the L.S.D
session is because of the length of time it takes. All other sessions are
based on being completed under the 30 minute mark. Plan to fit these
longer L.S.D sessions into a time of the week that suits you best.
EXAMPLE: Walk, jog, swim or cycle at a
steady pace for 45 minutes or more.

CHALLENGE SESSIONS
We told you we wouldn’t be so nice this time! These challenge
sessions are designed to help you break the norm and make
you put in more than you ever thought you could. This challenge
session will overload your body more than usual and will spike your
body’s production of lactic acid, boosting the growth hormone in

TESTING / GETTING YOUR FK SCORE!
Whether you’re a newbie to the FitazFK family or continuing on from
Fitaz in 28 Days, we’ve come up with the perfect way to assess
your current physical ability and determine your fitness level. By
testing the number of burpees you can complete in a minute, you
are given a clear indication of what your FK score is and what ‘level
of difficulty’ category you fall into. Oh, and don’t push yourself too
hard - we all gotta start somewhere. The following grading method
applies for each exercise:

BEGINNER <12

INTERMEDIATE 12-16

ADVANCED >16

Stand with your feet hip width apart and your arms above your head as tall as possible.
Lower into a squat position with your hands flat on the floor in front of you.
Kicking your legs backwards into a push up position, lower your chest to the floor.
Simultaneously push your chest back up to the push up position and
thrust both feet forward so you are back in the squat position.
Jump up and raise both hands over your head.

what it feels like to be a bonafide babe aka FitazFK! We won’t lie
about it - in phase 1, you will most likely find the nutrition to be the
most challenging of the three phases. Self control will be your best
friend over the first two weeks. The aim of phase 1 is to cleanse
your body and rid all those nasty toxins that don’t belong there and
put you in the ultimate fat-burning mode! Let’s do this!

PHASE 2
This is all part of Phase 2: the magic-making phase.
It’s time to up your game and add more resistance and
dynamic movements to your sessions. We’ve also carefully
tailored your nutrition plan with an increase in proteins and
4 WEEKS CONDITIONING carbs to make sure you’re getting the max nutrients to smash
out every workout session.

We can’t stress enough how important it is to stick to our


nutrition plan: low carbohydrate days have been paired up
with H.I.T, L.S.D and rest days to assist with fat burning, while
E.M.O.M days require a bit more fuel for your workout!

If it sounds too intimidating, don’t fret! You’ll start to see results


in the mirror and that’ll keep you motivated to stay on track and
tick off those goals on the daily.

50
PHASE TWO FOOD
AIM
Increase variety in diet.

Increase carbs to increase energy for


higher intensity training to take your
workouts to the next level and build
muscle tone.

Low carbs on H.I.T, L.S.D and rest


days. We use low carbohydrate
breakfast and dinner to assist with
fat burning. Lunches and snacks
will remain consistent throughout the
training days in this phase.

HOW TO
Eat more good quality
carbohydrates on E.M.O.M days
to help fuel training and muscle tone.

Avoid sugary foods and beverages

Avoid alcohol

Minimum 2L of water per day

YOU CAN EXPECT


Increased muscle tone

Reduced body fat (Hello, bikini!)

Reduced water retention


and bloating

An increase in energy

Reduced sugar cravings

Improve mood stability


(Bye-bye mood swings)

Boost your metabolism

Drink water before meals.


Aim for approximately 300ml
before each meal and snack

Green tea – great antioxidant

Protein in the form of eggs, lean


meat or protein powder at breakfast.

Add some chilli to your meals for

PHASE 3
Phase 3 is all about the bass. Just kidding. It’s
about taking everything you have learned so far and
incorporating it into your daily life. It’s the part where
we begin to let go of your hand. Yes, it’s still got its
challenges and hurdles, but you’ll learn the meaning

RE-ESTABLISHMENT of a balanced, healthy lifestyle - and get the best of


both worlds. We’ve included a nutrition plan that’ll see
you through everyday of the two week phase, so you

2 WEEKS can be sure you’re getting all the nutrients you need to
keep strong and focused! And the good news? We’ve
added a little more variety so you can have a little more
freedom with the foods you love.

61
PHASE THREE FOOD
You did it! You’ve endured the sugar withdrawals, the cheese cravings, the lot!
And you’ve made it to the final phase. This is where sh*t gets real. Phase 3 is here to
show you that you can live a healthy life, and actually enjoy it. In Phase 3 you’ll use all
the knowledge you’ve gained so far (what foods to avoid etc.), and learn how to create
balanced, nutritious and flexible meals and meal plans. P.S. Don’t forget to share your
meal creations on Instagram!
