LET’S GET STARTED
Your first time through this program will require more time and “homework”, but it will be worthwhile for years to come. It’s like the old saying goes; “give a person a fish, feed them for a day. Teach a person to fish, feed them for a lifetime”. I’ve create this program to teach you to workout in the gym, not just give you a gym workout.
Start each by reading over the day’s workout Blueprints. The workout blueprints give a detailed breakdown of the workout along with any tips and special instructions I have for you.
Next, Watch the Full Length Videos before you do the workout or bring the video along with you to the gym and let’s do this together. It’s amazing how much you can learn from this candid uncut video. The UNCUT videos show you how to do each exercise and removes any confusion you could possibly experience with written instructions or pictures. This is as real as it gets.
Finally, you will always have your snapshots with you in the gym, use the notes section on each snapshot to write/draw in things you may need to remind yourself.

Print off the BINDER FOR PRINT PDF. file and package it in a 3-Ring binder to bring with you to the gym everyday. I also recommend getting some dividers for the different sections. This binder become your best-friend over the next 6 weeks.
The binder includes: Clients-Trainer Contract, Goal Setting Sheet, Workout Log, Workout Snapshots, and Meal Planner.
Client-Trainer Contract: This contract provides a signed agreement between us. As your trainer I am asking you to be accountable, be committed, and put your 110% effort.
Goals: Complete this before starting. You need to create a destination for yourself, a goal you are working towards and focusing on during the 6 weeks ahead.
Workout Log: Every time you start a day’s workout in the gym sign-in and put the date you completed the workout. The purpose of this log is to build a routine for each gym visit and keep you on track towards your program completion date.
Workout Snapshot: The purpose is to provide a Simplified, Printable Copy of your days workout that has space for you to record your weight and add notes. It’s a simplified version of each days full workout blueprint.
Meal Planner: Complete your meal planning sheet and start browsing some recipe ideas – if needed. It’s very important to plan ahead and get excited about your food – its most likely going to be what makes or breaks your results after this 6 week program. If this is a big lifestyle change for you, most likely you will need to create a whole new style of grocery list and prepare the ingredients for your meals for the weeks ahead. I always use day 6 or 7 to plan my meals and grocery shop for everything I need.
Full Length UNCUT Workout Video
The Full-Workout videos brings you along with me to the gym, it’s me doing the entire workout every single day. I decided to make this full-workout video to give you a first person experience of being in the gym with me and it takes all the guesswork out of understanding and using this 6 Week Programs workouts.
Watch the UNCUT Workout before you go to the gym or bring it with you to the gym and follow along with me in real time. Each UNCUT Video can be downloaded to any device to watch offline or streamed online on AXFIT.com if you have WIFI or mobile data at your gym.
I strongly recommend watching every workouts UNCUT video your first time through this program. It’s so important to fully understand how to complete each exercise properly. Also, you will learn a lot about gym etiquette, how to handle situations that come up, and how to be efficient going through your workout. If a picture is worth a thousand words…a video must be worth millions…These UNCUT videos are the real deal.
The UNCUT Videos are not a Hollywood production with special lighting and a camera team. It’s my husband Chris filming me each day doing the workout. I wanted you to see I’m actually doing this in real time, just like you.
I did not train for a year before doing this program to get in perfect shape and I don’t have a make-up team getting me “camera ready”. I have bad hair days, moment’s I’m dying and laying on the floor and random gym people chatting with me.
The workouts your watching are me getting back into this program for the first time since having my twin girls 6 months ago. I wanted to make an authentic program so that we can share the same experience going through this and both of us fighting to reach our goals. So don’t be expecting me to be pretty, camera ready, and super chipper every single day ;).
Workout Blueprints
AXFIT Workout Blueprints are the detailed instructions and step-by-step breakdown of each and every workout.
BLUEPRINTS INCLUDE:
Phases: Are individual sections of the workout. Similar to car parts being assembled to create a complete car, workout phases are assembled to create a full workout.
Instructions: Here I include any special information needed to complete the workout ahead or a tip/advice/modification to keep in mind when doing it.
Weight Legend/Weight: Everyone doing this guide lifts different weight and your weight lifted will change quickly as you get into this program and use it again in the future. The goal of the weight legend gives you a way to know what level of weight to use for different repetitions.
In the Weight Legend, weight lifted for a exercise is represented by a weight level out of 10. The weight level gives you a way to quickly judge the weight needed. Over time this will become second nature. After your first week you will get to know what weight amounts your comfortable with and your goal here is to increase those weights as we go. Even if you just get 2-3 reps out with a heavy set of weights, then drop down to lighter weights to finish that set. In your snapshots, you can record your ACTUAL WEIGHT lifted so you can keep track of your weight lifted over time.
For each sets exercise you use the max weight you can lift to complete the sets repetitions. Example: If the set calls for 8-10 reps at 5/10 weight level, you grab the max weight you can do 8-10 reps with.
Set: A set is a group of consecutive repetitions. A set ranges anywhere from 1 to 20 exercises to complete in order. For example, you can say, “The first set is ten reps on the chest press, the second set is five push-ups.”
Rep: Rep (repetition) is one complete motion of an exercise. Example; completing 10 push-ups (you would do 10 “repetitions” of push-ups)
Time: Allotted time to complete the sets exercise. Example; completing 30 seconds of push-ups (you would do max number of push-ups you can do in 30 seconds)
Exercise: The exercise to complete for the set.
Equipment: Equipment required for the Workout/Exercise.
Round: Refers to the number of times you complete a set of exercises. Example: We do 3 rounds of Set 1 & 2, which means you complete set 1 & 2, 3 times.
Tip & Advice: My Personal Tips and Advice for you to keep in mind for the day.
Workout Snapshot
AXFIT Workout Snapshots are the simplified workout instructions. Your snapshots are your routines to follow in the gym and where you will write your weights lifted and notes. By writing your weights you will be able to monitor your progress and ensure you are increasing over the weeks and years to come.
SIMPLIFIED: Once you get the hang of the training style and all the new drills, exercises, set-ups, etc. you may not need the lengthy Blueprint version. Snapshots make it easier to review the workouts.
PRINTABLE: The main reason for the Snapshot is to make a printable version you can bring with you. This printable snapshot version is black & white, has minimal graphics, and designed to be placed into your binder so you can write your weights and notes.
ACTUAL WEIGHT: This is where you write down the actual weight you used for the set. It’s critical to monitor your weight so you know what to use next workout.
NOTES: It’s nice to add your own personal notes to the workout. You may have your own ideas to add, adjustments to make for next time, or a place you can draw little sick figures to remind yourself how to preform an exercise that may be new to you.
