LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!

[email protected] 11 Jan 2017

Hello gorgeous! Im so happy you decided to get this program!Hopefully this is the beginning of a new, improved YOU. Together we will create magic. First of all, this program is divided into 5 different sessions that you'll perform during one week. I would suggest that you start on a Monday, but that's completely up to you! Once you've made it through one week, you'll start all over again with session 1 and keep going for 12 full weeks. Even after these 12 weeks you can continue with the routine if you want to - because it's awesome! I highly recommend that you get my e-book and read it before starting this 12-week program. This is because of the important information about diet, exercise and fatburn vs calorieburn I share in my e-book. This information will be important for you during these 12-weeks if you want to get the best results you possibly can! If you keep your diet clean but high in complete protein and time your carbs to after your sessions this program will tone your body and slowly even build your butt!
