HOW YOUR SKINNY ME NOW PROGRAM WORKS:

Here's a quick overview of how my training program for you is going to work:

1. Action plan

We're going to be working out 5 days a week, day 6 will be an "active" rest day (more on this later) and day 7 will be a rest day.

Training time will always be 1 HOUR: 40 minutes cardio and 20 minutes strength and stretching.

Equipment that you need on hand for all sessions:

• Mat (or a towel)
• Bands or dumbbells
• Timer (on your iPod if you have one)

I will send you daily emails with all the info for our daily training sessions (see section on "daily emails" below).

Please note that this program was ideally created to run from Monday to Sunday (workouts are on weekdays and active rest and rest days are on weekends). However, if you just want to GET STARTED NOW and it doesn't happen to be a "Monday" - that's OK too because all the references in my program are made in Days - i.e. Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 (instead of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday).

2. The eating plan

The first email of each week will include a link to download your eating plan for that week (see below for more on your daily emails).

I don't want you to feel overwhelmed by the food side of this program - so I have kept it SIMPLE and we are staying away from scales and trying to make it as hassle free as possible. I need the eating plan to be easy for you to stick to and I will keep the CHALLENGING part for when we exercise together (of that I can promise you!).

MY BASIC EATING PHILOSOPHY IS AS FOLLOWS:

• You will need to eat every 3 hours so that we are keeping your blood sugar stable and you are not diving for the cookie jar.
• Your drink of choice at all times: WATER (invest in a decent water bottle which needs to become your constant companion).
• A healthy breakfast will be the most important part of your day.
• Try to limit all late night eating/snacking.
• Limit carbs after lunch.

For the first 2 weeks your eating plan is going to be a cutting phase/detox plan - I know it might seem tough, but this is not an eating plan you're going to have to stick to for the rest of your life - it's merely a 2 week plan to kick start your body into weight loss mode! I will be giving you suggestions and throwing in a few delicious recipes to try to avoid boredom.

I recommend that you print out your week's plan and put it on your fridge for easy reference right next to a picture of one of your favorite celebs who looks hot in a bikini (for inspiration).

3. Daily emails

The drill is as follows, you will receive a DAILY EMAIL from me which will include:

I. A DOWNLOAD LINK Section

The link will take you to my web page where you will click on "training" (See picture) and your session for the day will open.

This will include a video of ME, LIVE, in front of YOU, to be downloaded on either your computer or iPod (or any other MP3 player), as well as details of your cardio workout for the day.

You will also be able to access any previous days that you might have missed or want to refer back to.

II. The DAY AT A GLANCE Section

Exercise

Under Exercise I will give you a heads up on any special requirements for the following day's training so that you may plan accordingly.

For example, for cardio I will tell you whether you will need stairs, a hill or jump rope so you can plan where you need to be.

If you can, try to schedule your workout for first thing in the morning. Research has shown that people who exercise in the morning are more likely to stick to their exercise routine! And be aware of the time of day -hot climates will make the workout too challenging if training outdoors with your cardio.

Eating

In the first email of each week, you will get your week's eating plan and it will look something like this:

For the rest of the week, each day in the Eating section I will give you one aspect to focus on diet-wise to move you one step closer to healthier (lower-calorie!) eating habits.

Now that we have all the housekeeping out of the way...from hereon there will be less reading and more "doing"...

And now - all you have to do is check your email and GET MOVING!

Your Coach,

Marc M.
