Achieving a rock, solid body does not need to cost you a fortune. Heck, it doesn’t even need to cost you a dime! Your own body weight can be utilized to help you to achieve those 6 pack abs you’ve always wished you had. What do you need to do?

To start, you need to make a plan on when you will do your cardio component. You should aim for at least 5 days/week to get your heart rate up. You may walk, jog, skip, bike, do jumping jacks…whatever it is that you enjoy! The idea is to find something that you love to do and that you will stick with over a long period of time. I’m talking a very L-O-N-G time, like your entire life! Don’t make this just some passing phase. 30 minutes of vigorous exercise is great. Or, you may choose to do a 15 minute ‘interval’ session. For this you will alternate between jogging very fast and then slowing down, then speeding up, then slowing down. You can do this for 30 sec. intervals or 1 minute. It is really up to you.

Remember we are not doctors and can only answer questions to the best of our knowledge, and within our field of work.

Q: How much cardio should I be doing to achieve maximum benefits while following The Fit Chic program?

A: As we have laid out in the book, you will do 3 days of walking at a brisk pace for 30-40 minutes. We recommend going in the morning on an empty stomach. However, if that does not fit into your schedule, go when you can! We also recommend that you do at least 2 days of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). As you get closer to your goal weight, you can increase your cardio and go for a walk in the morning, then do HIIT training in the afternoon.

Feel free to send in your questions and/or concerns

Have a wonderful day!

Cheers to health,

Hello everyone…I just want to check in on my first day. I am once again following The Fit Chic Year of Workouts. I will be doing the 10 minute express workouts from my home. I have taken a much needed vacation from my program and feel ready to get back in a routine!

I will also be following Jon Benson’s Every Other Day Diet – Lifestyle Plan as a guide to my food choices. I know that my eating is my biggest challenge so I am looking forward to seeing the great results I have accomplished in the past from his eating plan.

This is what I have eaten today…

Hi everyone…wow, this program really rocks! My butt and thighs are already firming up! I have just completed Nick Nilsson’s workout from the Gluteus to the Maximus program. It was so intense! I was really out of breath and my legs were shaking, but I know that is all part of the results taking place.
