Week 1: PREPARATION

An imperative part of your 12 week challenge, determining your level of success is your PREPARATION for your 12 weeks.  Once you prepare properly your 12 week challenge, your body and mind will be set much better and everything is going to flow so much more

easily (so in other words you will achieve your results much more easily) So please emphasise this phase as much as possible and once you have prepared effectively you need to put everything into ACTION.

 SET YOUR GOALS. 

If you are the bride or bridesmaid, groom or groomsman, you will need to think about the attire you are going to wear to the wedding. What body parts will be exposed and what do you think  you need to work the most in your body/fitness/health that will create the biggest impact?

12 weeks is not a very long time, therefore super important to hone in on the specifics on what you need to achieve so you can action plan accordingly and achieve greater success. Dive in as deep as possible then you are going to create meaning and emotion to your goals making you much more likely to achieving your goals. If your goals don't mean 100% for you to achieve them, then you need to look at re-setting your goal.

Avoid overload at this point. Pick a maximum of three goals that you'd like to achieve. Don't worry if you can't think of 3 goals, just pick what is the most important aspect of this challenge for you. Click here to download a free copy of my goal setting and nutritional help sheet.

ASSESS WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW

You need to be assessing where you are at right now so that you can plan accordingly and also track your progressions for motivational purposes. 

Assessing is measuring. Measuring can be more simple that you might think.

BODY COMPOSITION: If you have a PT handy,  yes it's definitely a

plus to be measuring your body composition with callipers or a bod pod, but a really effective way of measuring yourself,  is a picture. Far too many people get hooked at whats on the scale but at the end of the day, you are not going to be putting yourself on the scale on the day of the wedding uttering that you look fat, it will be HOW you look and feel in your dress that counts,  regardless of whether you weigh 1kg, or 100kg! Therefore a picture is a much more useful measuring tool

Yes, I know you might feel silly doing it, trust me you won't regret it and i have clients who wished they had done this before they began training with me. 

Take a picture…take it now. One picture from the front, side and back. In a bikini to your underwear. GO ON…..

Then you can repeat this every 2 weeks to track your progression. This is important, as it will show whether your training and nutrition is working for you, and therefore you can adapt accordingly depending on your outcome.

NUTRITIONAL STATUS

How is your nutritional status right now? The details of your current nutritional status forms a massive part to your progression. Be as precise as possible, by tracking your nutrition for the next 3 days. You can track everything you eat and drink with a visual food diary. Take pictures of all your meals and beverages. Alternatively,  you can write these down, but you must write all of these down. Feel guilty about your current daily eating habits? This is why this process is although painful is very short sharp way of illuminating and eliminating the bad habits that are holding you back from making progress. These details have a direct impact on your goals and action plan

Need someone to keep you accountable? It much easier to stay on track when you are working along side someone else and/or you have someone backing you all the way, Find a friend/ family member or PT.

ASSESS YOUR CURRENT FITNESS STATUS

What would you rate your current fitness out of 10? Consider your exercise history, how many times per week you are currently training and what type of exercise you are partaking in. 

You need to assess your current fitness in order to choose the correct exercise routine which I am planning for you. Although I hate categorising this is just an essential part of the process. Choose which category which you fall into. if you have any injuries or medical conditions you must get clearance from your medical professional

Have exercised in the past year but sporadically 

Intermediate Level: Intermediate level is where you exercise 2-3 x per week on a regular basis

Advanced level: Is where you exercise 4+ times per week at the moment and you are injury free!
